How fun! I thought I had already posted this ‘easy app.’ My sister in law brought it to a holiday party and all it took was a bowl of crackers for this appetizer to gain notoriety among guests. Not much to say (this, coming from the talker?!); all you need is goat cheese (room temperature, spread onto plate), pesto (make your own or buy your favorite) and lightly toasted pine nuts.

Even kids will dig (yep, literally, just keep the tonka trucks at bay—that goat cheese would be impossible to clean out of the tires!) this preamble. It is simple, approachable and ‘what you see is what you get.’ My favorite part of this appetizer is eating it; a close second? My kiddos can assemble it.
