Did I tell you that I am working on my Thanksgiving Menu, already? This year, I am hosting the Thanksgiving feast at my cozy corner and I am already planning the menu. Believe me, It is never too early to plan on Thanksgiving menu and making sure that there is at least something for every one to feast upon. I am sure these Pesto Marinara Crescent FlatBreads are going to set the mood right as an appetizer.


The best part is that these are semi home made. I am loving it since I am all about semi home made when hosting a large group of people at home. I plan to have a good number of vegetarian appetizers and sides and make it rather a one course meal and then followed by coffee and dessert.

I shy away from formal setting and always am looking for some casual ideas when entertaining. Somehow, casual is more relaxing, takes the pressure off of the host and the guests both. I think it works better when you have many guests who are coming to your house for the first time.

What do you think? I would love to get some ideas about easy doable center pieces as well. Do leave your suggestions in the comments.

Whenever I am hosting, I gather these ingredients – ready to bake pie crusts, crescent rolls, pizza dough, biscuits etc to quickly create and bake. These have never disappointed me and I always have a good supply stacked in my refrigerator.

This time I have used Organic Crescent Rolls from Immaculate Baking Company, to make Pesto Marinara Crescent Flatbreads to feed my happy crowd. The buttery flaky base of these crescents is perfect for that HOLIDAY-ish Food textures and flavors. You can’t forget the aroma of those buttery layers baking and filling the house with cravings. Yes, it is that comforting.

I have become an Immaculate Baker now, with Immaculate Baking Company Products.

When Immaculate Baking Company contacted me to do a savory recipe for Thanksgiving, I couldn’t have been happier. I was already making my shopping list so I printed the coupon and got some products to try and play along. You can print your coupon —–> here for $1.00 off any Immaculate Baking Co. Product. I got mine from Whole Foods. These are stored in the same refrigerated section as Butters at Whole Foods. Some of the Targets also carry this brand.

I was so delighted to use the Immaculate Baking Organic Crescent Rolls to create the Pesto Marinara Crescent FlatBreads. Finally, I found a brand that is organic for my semi home made needs. Being a careful buyer who always reads the ingredients before buying, it was such a relief. You can actually read the ingredients and translate them to the real words.

Feeding 2 kids, it is definitely reassuring that these products are free of any artificial additives and not stripped off of their natural elements. For the families that are struggling with Gluten allergies, Immaculate Baking has many gluten free “ready to bake” products as well. Check these out here !

When I researched more about the company, I was so impressed by the idea and mission of Scott Blackwell {owner}. Not only he has done a phenomenal job of bringing the organic and glutenfree products to us, he has been the champion of American Folk Art, which is so visible on all the packaging of the products as well.

Tell me honestly, don’t these Pesto Marinara Crescent FlatBreads look so festive? The colors of pine green from pesto, of snow from white, yellow and red colors of autumn from marinara and yellow bell peppers….all together weave a story of holiday, traditions, gatherings. Right?

The use of crescent rolls as a flatbread base, made these flatbreads melt in the mouth. Though my husband loved the Marinara more, my personal favorite was Pesto. Nonetheless, you have everybody covered there, no matter what they like.

Here is the recipe for Pesto Marinara Crescent Flatbreads, that requires only 5 main ingredients to prepare. Easy-Peasy-Lemon Squeezy.

Instructions
Instructions for Masala Naan Canapes
  1. Preheat the oven at 400*F / 200*C. Get a large baking tray ready.
  2. Meanwhile, Take a Naan and cut out circles/discs that are 2-3 inches in diameter. Repeat the same with all the naans. On an average, 1 regular size naan will give 5-6 discs.
  3. Brush all the discs with oil, lightly. Sprinkle the Naan discs lightly, with salt, red chili powder and garam masala.
  4. Bake these in the oven for 10-12 minutes till these turn crisp and golden in color.
  5. While the Naan discs are baking, work on the canape topping and cut all the vegetables as mentioned above. Take a bowl and add all the topping ingredients in it including onion, tomato, cucumber, cilantro, mint, green chili and crumbled paneer or feta. Sprinkle with salt, red chili powder and garam masala and squeeze the lemon juice on top. Toss it gently. The topping salad is ready.
Serving Suggestion
  1. You can either serve the Naan canapes and topping salad separately for chip and dip kind of arrangement.
  2. OR
  3. Take a serving platter. Place the Naan discs on it. Add spoonful of Topping salad on top of each disc, making it a canape and serve it with Tea.
  4. You may serve it with the side of Mint Coriander Chutney and Tamarind Dates Chutney.
Instructions for Ginger Tea
  1. Boil 8 cups of water with 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger in a large sauce pan. Once it comes to a boil, add the tea bags to the sauce pan. Cover the pan with lid and switch off the heat and let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sieve this golden liquid to the cups or a kettle and serve it along with cream/milk on the side plus sugar or honey for sweetening.
  3. I would recommend to drink ginger tea with milk since it is strong flavored. You can skip the ginger if you are ok with it.

As quoted – Brooke Bond Taj Mahal is one of the India’s most loved brands and has an association with its patrons that goes beyond tea.

The brand is built around a core philosophy – Fostering Excellence to Savor the Best.

Brooke Bond Taj Mahal is an Icon of Excellence.

Do you remember the most magical tag line “ever” used in Ad campaigns? Yes, The only – Arre Huzoor, Wah Taj Boliye !! A nuance created by Brooke Bond Taj Mahal to institute the Premium Tea as a Tea for Chai Converts, who are aspirational and represent modern urban India.

Brooke Bond Taj Mahal has symbolized this commitment through decades as a joint celebration of achievements in many fields, notably Indian Classical Music through their Brand Ambassadors.

Rahul Sharma is the face of the Brooke Bond Taj Mahal and is featured in the latest commercial for Taj Mahal Tea. A versatile musician, Rahul is a Santoor Maestro and hails from the beautiful valley of Kashmir. He is the son of the Legendary Santoor player – Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.

Rahul Sharma’s charm and finesse personifies the excellence and elegance of Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea, and that has gone a long way in reviving the love for Indian Classical Music. He took the challenging instrument like Santoor and created symphonies that establish him as a Modern Urban Maestro in Classical Instrumental Music.
