Appetizer Wreath

The world of Pinterest has sparked my creative interests.  Recognizing with the time I have I must also find creative things that don't require too much time....  So this recipe is perfect for upcoming Christmas Parties.  I usually make a veggie pizza at some point to take somewhere.  This little spin on the veggie pizza was perfect and very festive.



Ingredients
2 (8 oz each) tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp dill weed
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
celery leaves

Directions
Remove crescent dough from packaging (do not unroll).  Cut each tube into eight slices (I'd try 10 maybe next time).  Arrange in a circle on an ungreased pizza pan.

Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a serving platter; cool completely.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder until smooth.  Spread over wreath; top with broccoli, celery and red pepper.  Form a bow garnish with celery leaves.
Yield 16 servings.
