Garden Harvest Squares ...p17

An appetizer akin to a cold veggie pizza - wonderful and wonderfully easy.  Be sure to pack the vegetables down a bit with your *clean* hands so they don't slip off on the munching.  I do think next time, I'll chop the broccoli and peppers up even smaller.  If there are leftovers, pop them in the frig - they're just as delicious the next day with a softer crust. 

Hardy Appetit!

GARDEN HARVEST SQUARES

2-8 oz. cans Crescent Rolls
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sour cream

Eat Your Broccoli!

1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing
20 small broccoli florets
3 grated carrots
1 chopped red bell pepper

Heat oven to 375°, separate dough into 4-in. long rectangles.  Press together to form crust into 5 x10" cookie sheet.  Bake 13-17 min. or until golden brown.  Let cool completely.

In bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic and Ranch dressing.  Spread over cooled crust, sprinkle veggies on top.  Refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving. Cut into squares.
