Yesterday, we had our good friends, Ben and Kati, over for a cookout.  I had seen a recipe in one of those Kraft Food & Family magazines that they mail out all the time that I wanted to try as an appetizer.  I believe it was called Italian Cheese Spread (I'm going off of memory here since the magazine is at home).  I didn't think to take a picture, either.  Which is a bummer because it was a pretty dip with all the colors.  And boy, was it yummy!!  And super easy!!  
Italian Cheese Spread
1 brick cream cheese
1/4 cup pesto
1/4-1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup shredded cheese
Start with a piece of aluminum foil, like 8x8 or so.  Place the cream cheese brick in the center.  Top with pesto, then tomatoes, then cheese.  Make a packet with the foil and place on the grill for 8-10 minutes.  (I used spinach pesto and it was awesome, but basil would be just as yummy.  And I just put it on a sheet pan and put it in the oven on 350 for 10 minutes.)  Serve on a plate with the foil folded back and crackers.
