Help! I have to bring an appetizer to a ladies function this evening. Last month, I brought a really nice veggie tray with low-cal dip and I was the ONLY one who ate it! (Sadly, the other ladies don't have to worry about calories:cry: ). I'd like to bring something that looks good, but is really low cal....finger food. Any ideas?

    I don't know if you have Stonewall Kitchen products available, but one of my favorite snacks is taking melba toast rounds, spreading with ff cream cheese and topping with SK roasted garlic and onion jam. Sounds a little bizarre, I know but it is FABULOUS! I'm sure you could find a similar jam in your area. It just tastes decadent and rich.

    COOL "VEGGIE" PIZZA

    1 can refrigerator crescent rolls
    2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
    1 1/2 tbsp. mayonnaise
    Dill weed
    Finely chopped "veggies" (zucchini, mushrooms, green peppers, green onions,
    tomatoes, cucumbers)

    Spread crescent roll dough on pizza sheet or cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Blend together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dill weed. Spread the cheese mixture on top of cold crust.
    Sprinkle a layer of each vegetable over cheese layer. Chill before serving. To serve, cut pizza into wedges or squares with a pizza cutter.

    You can use reduced fat crescent rolls, cream cheese and mayo and mix in a package of reduced fat Hidden Valley dry ranch mix. Big hit at my house!

    Thanks! Both sound really good and would look pretty too!
