Cold Veggie Pizza

*Not to be confused with a "Vegetarian Pizza". This is merely a light crescent roll based, vegetable topped snack, appetizer or even lunch! We love this at our house for a nice light meal. We might pair it with something like soup or little smokies. Of course we always finish up with "Fruit Pizza!"


2 packages refrigerated Crescent roll dough
1/2 C sour cream
1 - 8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp dill weed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
chopped veggies (broccoli, onion, peppers, carrots, etc.)
3-4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
1 C Shredded Cheddar or Colby Jack Cheese

Let cream cheese set at room temperature. Preheat oven according to package directions (usually 375). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. Unroll crescent roll dough and place on pan. Using fingertips, gently work dough triangles together to form one big crust. Using fork, lightly punch holes about an inch apart all over crust (to prevent air pockets). Bake crust 10-12 minutes or until a light golden brown. Be careful not to overbake. Let cool completely before building your "pizza". In small mixing bowl combine sour cream, cream cheese and seasonings. Spread over cooled crust. Top with chopped veggies and then bacon and cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve cold.

Seasoned Potatoes (EASY)

First of all, let me just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE these handy steamer bags for the microwave. Both GLAD and ZIPLOC have them, and for me, with my busy schedule, I think they are worth every penny. My kids can also use them to "cook" their veggies.

4 or 5 medium red potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 packet Onion Soup Mix (Lipton works, but I get these generics for $.29 a piece)

Wash and cut potatoes into bit-sized pieces. Place in steamer bag. Add about 2 Tbsp olive oil. Seal bag and turn several times to coat well. Open bag and sprinkle soup mix over potatoes. Reseal bag, and toss again to coat. Place in microwave and heat following times on bag.
