Pumpkin Pie Dip

When fall rolls around every year, I think it's just natural to start craving Pumpkin goodies.  Of course, there is pumpkin sheetcake {one of my favorites}, pumpkin pie {oh yummy!},pumpkin shortbread dessert {a yearly Thanksgiving request} pumpkin bread {on the to-do list},pumpkin cupcakes {my favorite!} pumpkin scones {amazing!}, pumpkin cookies {with chocolate chips}, & one of the quickest and most crowd-pleasing  recipes is this one... Pumpkin Pie Dip.  It is a real quick fix and you can serve it will Nilla Wafers and Gingersnaps from the grocery store.  Of course, if you have more time, you can always whip up a batch of homemade Sparkling Ginger Snaps to serve with this amazing dessert dip!

VEGETABLE PIZZA

This is an AWESOME appetizer and it is soooo easy to make! Enough said....

Here's the recipe!

Take 2 tubes of the refrigerated CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH.

Press into a cookie sheet. Bake as directed on packaging.

Cool Completely!

Mix together:

8 oz cream cheese

1 cup mayo ( not miracle whip)

1 pkg ranch dressing mix

Spread onto cooled & baked crescent roll dough.

Chop up:

1 small head broccoli

1/2 head cauliflower

1 bunch of sliced green onions (optional)

carrots (5 baby)

Top with chopped veggies and shredded cheese. I like to use colby jack. But use whatever you have on hand. You can also add diced tomatoes if desired.

Cool, cut into squares and enjoy!

I will admit this is a bit more expensive but everyone will thank you for it! It's mmmm mmmm good :-)

Happy Cooking!
