Veggie Christmas Wreath

One of the reasons I love the holidays is cooking up a storm with family.  Whether it's recipes passed down from generation to generation or trying out new tasty delights.  Thanks to Pinterest I have a new holiday treat to add to my Christmas repertoire!  

Our first attempt at a Vegetable Christmas Wreath

Introducing the Vegetable Christmas Wreath!  It's the perfect combination of crispy veggies and creamy ranch all wrapped around a toasty crescent dough wreath.  When my soon-to-be mother-in-law spotted it on Pinterest last week we knew we had to make it for Christmas Eve!

Check out those veggies

We spruced it up with our favorite vegetables and topped it off with a festive ring of cherry tomato slices.  When everyone who walks through the kitchen says "OOOoooo" and "AAAhhhhh" you know you have a new holiday favorite.  I can't wait to dig in this evening!!

All ready to serve!
