The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.


In just a few steps, you can whip up this appetizer wreath that combines the delicious crispiness of crescent rolls with a zesty cream cheese spread and a colorful array of fresh vegetables.


2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli florets
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
celery leaves
Remove crescent dough from packaging (do not unroll). Cut each tube into eight slices. Arrange in an 11-inch circle on an ungreased 14-inch pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a serving platter, cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, dill and garlic powder until smooth. Spread over wreath, top with broccoli, celery and red pepper. Form a bow garnish with celery leaves.

I've made this wreath before for Christmas- even though my husband wouldn't try it, everyone else commented on how pretty it was and delicious! You can add other things like ham diced very small or bacon crumbled up in tiny pieces for a variation. You can also make mexican flavored wreaths- I use the same ingredients as I do in flour tortilla roll-ups instead of what the recipe calls for and they are also delicious. I also like it done with Canadian bacon sliced very thin and chopped up well with tiny bits of pineapple and red and green peppers chopped up extremely well. All very good.

I LOVE this recipe. I am a Pampered Chef kitchen consultant and have used this recipe for shows during the month of December. People absolutely go crazy for it. The only thing I do differently is add fresh garlic instead of powder. It give it a real kick!
