GOAT CHEESE PESTO SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD (MAKE AHEAD)
This tasty, flavorful spread is quick and easy to make but it looks very elaborate and pretty. It is a great appetizer for a crowd. I love that you make it a day (or two) ahead of time, so there is one less thing to worry about the day of the party. The green, red and white colors look especially festive on a holiday buffet. You can also make a half batch in a mini-loaf pan for a small group.

- Be sure to drain the sun-dried tomatoes well before using them in the spread. This will help to prevent the spread from becoming too watery.
