Let’s discuss the history of the Pillsbury Croissant Wreath and our Open house shall we. Every year since we have moved to Ottawa ( and actually even Kent’s last year in Thunder Bay) we have hosted an Open House.   It started off as a celebration and get together over the Christmas week but then morphed into an event just prior to. We have always tried to hold it when the boys would be in town to be perfectly frank, more fun when we have helping hands right.

Christmas Croissant Wreath


So digressing totally from the point of my post, each year at the Open House I have been creating some type of food centerpiece and the last few years that has been the awesome Christmas Veggie tree. Well one year I was wanting to try something a little different.

Why you ask, well 1) no-one wants to be the first to start dismantling the tree so usually I end up tossing it afterwards (so sad) and 2) have you seen the price of broccoli and cauliflower in Canada ( darn dollar and drought).  Seriously we are up to 5.99 a head, so I ask you considering the fact I need about 6 heads of broccoli and one of cauliflower ( small heads here) is a centerpiece really worth 40.00+, that cartoon is so true, I can buy it for 10.00 but make it for 80.00 lol.

The Story of the Wreath

 
2015 was my year for change, Kent posted this totally awesome veggie cabin on my facebook and I went hell ya, this is the year of the cottage.I found the instructions on Pinterest, I purchased carrots, celery, cucumbers and cream cheese and I started creating….well epic pinterest fail. Such a fail actually that I didn’t even take a picture.
 
The issue, carrots! Carrots are not sold as perfectly shaped carrots.  I guess I should have picked up the package from Costco of the perfectly manufactured 8 inch baby carrots, yea who knew babies could be 8 inches right.My carrots had curves,  kind of like most of us and no matter how hard I tried I could not get a cabin that looked like this picture. I had one really breezy log cabin with inch gaps in between my logs, and I am telling you that was not going to be my centerpiece at the open house.

Making a Croissant Wreath

So Pinterest to the rescue, even though she had just failed me.  I still had hope that we could be friends, and then I found it, a Pillsbury Croissant Wreath.  Now keep in mind we are now Saturday morning.  Time was a bit of an issue. This is a pretty fail safe option, honestly it really is. I made this so quickly I forgot to take pictures but i will verbally walk you through.

    This is just gorgeous! You could even vary the recipe by turning it into a pizza ring. Use marinara sauce as the dip, and then top with green olives, pepperoni or red peppers! Also I did discover chopped broccoli in the freezer section of my grocery store which may help save time.
