This is a delicious appetizer that is just a little bit different. I made mine with light cream cheese, but who would know? It's very satisfying and pretty to look at, too. -
I made this yesterday for guests and they were bowled over. It was delicious!!!! I used two pkgs crescent rolls but didn't increase the spread. Next time I will. Great recipe! -
This was a big hit at our annual charter school picnic. The kids and adults loved it!

I'm a stay home mom of two little boys.
My husband is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, my little fellas will eat anything, and I'm a vegetarian.
One of my favorite things to do is sit and read a cookbook from cover to cover! My favorite cookbooks are ones with pictures of all the dishes.
