I don’t often buy pre-packaged food because I always assume it has some sort of hidden, non-vegan ingredient in it, most often eggs. But some days get super busy and it’s easier to have something on hand that can make a substantial meal without making everything from scratch. I love finding ‘accidentally’ vegan food that I’d previously steered clear from because I assumed it contained dairy. One of my favorite finds is the crescent rolls from Trader Joe’s. Pillsbury crescent rolls are also vegan but I prefer the ingredients of the TJ brand.
Crescent rolls are probably the most simple food in the world to make and they can be stuffed with almost anything. I love broccoli and cheese together, so I filled them with a combo of the two. Once you follow the recipe and make this once, you will learn that you can easily fill this with a variety of fruits, veggies, etc. to your liking. After baking, this ring easily pulls apart, making it the perfect food to bring to a party.
