Cruciferous 'Za

When my mother gave birth to one of my sisters, she shared a hospital room with a very nice woman who also delivered a baby girl the same day. Now it is a fact that a woman’s hormones shift during childbirth in a way that affects her memory, so that she forgets much of the experience. This explains why there are second and third children, etc. Nevertheless, both my mother and her temporary roommate recognized each other years later when two of their other daughters became best friends. Their relationship blossomed and now each holds a place as an honorary gramma to the other’s biological clan. That means an exponential increase at family reunions and holidays along with accompanying recipes. I don’t have the one for her incredible Bok Choy Salad, but here’s the one for summer pizza.

Summer Pizza from Bernie
For 2 jelly roll pans spread 3 to 5 cans of crescent roll dough into the pans. How much you use depends on how thick you want the dough. Create edges up the sides of the pans. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in 350° oven. Put the following mixture on each of the pans. (I usually make two rather than double.)

2 8oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup real mayonnaise
1 T dill weed
1 t garlic salt
Mix and put on cooled crust
Cut up any kind of fresh vegetables you like and put on: green peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc, Put grated cheese on top. Refrigerate.
