Week 3: Cold Veggie Pizza Easter Style

Week 3 of the 52 week pizza challenge doubled as our Easter dinner contribution. It's one of those party favorites that takes you back to your childhood.  A food you completely forget about until it shows up, and when you see it your eyes light up and you have to say "I used to eat the shit out of that when I was a kid!"  Mom always made it best, but we think we created a pretty good replica.  It was easy to make, we made some healthy substitutions as usual, and it was a giant hit with only 2 pieces remaining out of a sheet tray. (Jackie said 'shut up with your fancy terms chef Cecil, normal people call it a cookie sheet!')  Well parrrrrrdon me, I'll try to write the rest for the normies.

First off, we hit up the local Aldi's for ALL of our ingredients--that place rocks!  After Jackie scared herself twice by opening the 2 cans of reduced fat crescent rolls and I got done laughing about it, we laid them out on the COOKIE SHEET and baked it per the instructions on the can until they were a nice golden brown. 

While we let that cool down Jackie mixed up 2 boxes of Greek cream cheese--it's a thing!--with 4 teaspoons of dry ranch dressing mix.

I chopped up the veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, and we bought already shredded carrots).  We spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooked crescent roll crust, layered the veggies over the cream cheese, and topped it with just enough shredded cheddar to give it a little pizzazz without overshadowing the other flavors.

We covered it and kept refrigerated until it was time to party!  I can't believe I didn't even steal one piece before dinner, it looked sooooooo good!  Okay I would have, if it weren't for the threats of losing my fingers if I touched it.
