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.

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.
