summer pizza.

our mutual friend Karen [which i will write an entry about this week since we saw her and her husband over the weekend with their newborn and discussed real estate with]--- made the following summer appetizer a year or two ago at a party they had on their patio one summer nite when we attended and we loved it. it goes good with coctails and drinks as well and is refreshing and filling for those hot nites. ever since we had this, we had wanted to try making it ourselves.

well, jimmy is more the cook. i stay away from the kitchen. he enjoys making food. i do not. and i am more the recipe suggester/finder. anyway i was so excited to find this recipe over the weekend and so we went out to our local grocery store publix and purchased necessary ingredients in recipe [he only added a little extra mayo and garlic salt] and we chose our favorite fresh veggies to put on top [cucumber, broccoli, carrots and celery] - it came out smashing!

jimmy did a perfect job so i just had to take this picture of it and share the recipe for those who may like recipes and cooking :)

"This appetizer is a cool pizza made with refrigerated crescent roll dough and topped with finely chopped vegetables. Zucchini, mushrooms, green peppers, green onions and tomatoes all work well as toppings."


INGREDIENTS:
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated
crescent roll dough
2 (8 ounce) packages cream
cheese, softened
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried dill weed


DIRECTIONS:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.
In a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan or 13 inch round pizza stone, arrange the crescent roll dough in a single layer. Pinch together the edges of the dough. Bake for 12 minutes, or until it becomes a golden brown crust. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool.
3.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise and dill. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on the crust. Sprinkle toppings on top of the cream cheese spread. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the spread to thicken.
4.
Cut the chilled pizza into wedges or squares with a pizza cutter to serve.
