Everyone has a special dish they take to pot lucks and everyone always counts on you to bring it. Mine is a potato casserole that has sour cream and cheese in it. My mom's was her potato salad. What's yours?

Ah Oh Kristine, my go to recipe is gone Lost in the mass of recipes I have.
But, it's one of those dishes that is so easy.
Mix 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs with 2tbs parmesan cheese.
Generously butter a springform pan on the bottom and up the sides about 2 to 2-1/2 inches. Coat pan with the breadcrumbs. This will be the crust.
Blend 2 blocks room temp cream cheese with an 8oz container of ricotta cheese.
Add 2 eggs, mix well
Scoop out 1/2cup of the cheese mix and add about 4 to 6 oz pesto.
Chop about 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes. I use the marinaded ones. They give it a great taste.
Layer about 1 cup of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the pan, then layer all the pesto mix on top of that.
Spread the tomatoes over the pesto and top with another layer of the cheese mix. It doesn't really matter how you layer it, just end with a layer of cheese on top.
Sprinkle the top with pine nuts.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour. It will be toasty looking on the top. Let stand until cool.
The hardest part is getting it out of the springform pan with the crust in tact. Run a knife around the edges and loosen the spring form. I use kitchen twine or something like that to separate the cake from the pan bottom. If you don't mind the pan bottom showing you can leave it.
If you have a large platter you can put it in the middle with sliced french bread or crackers around the outside OR I put it on a pedestal cake plate with the bread and crackers on a tray or in a basket along side.
Since it looks like a cheesecake people get confused on how to eat it so I usually take out a small slice before I serve it so everyone can see the layers and that it's an appetizer.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Enjoy.

It's Jennifer's recipe and she shared it on page 2, I think. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds really yummy!

I make a 'Cherry Salad' that most people like me to bring, and as it's super easy that's just fine with me.

I'm copying the pesto cheesecake down because my husband will probably want THAT all summer now instead of regular old pesto :)
I'd also like some wild rice recipes, JoAnn, if you have any that you love...I really like that idea!!!

Chicken Short-Cut-A-Tore, one of Rachel Ray's recipes. It's always our "company" dinner. Once I didn't make it when my sister visited, and she was actually disappointed! |

Since I moved here from Minnesota I usually bring something with wild rice in it. I have a good recipe for a chicken wild rice salad. Since my husband is a mycologist I might bring something with mushrooms. My latest endeavor for a pot luck was sushi. JoAnn |

Sherri,
It's so easy to make and always turns out great. It's actually a layer of cream cheese mixed with ricotta cheese, then a layer of the cream cheese/ricotta mixed with pesto, then chopped sundried tomatoes, another layer of the cream chees/ricotta mixture, topped with pine nuts. The crust is Italian bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese. It's rich and yummy served with bread or crackers. |

My husband loves my meatloaf. He has literally raved about it to other people. The thing is that I don't have a recipe. It's one of those things that if in a pinch for supper, I pull out hamburger, ground pork, turkey whatever is in there. The ingredients vary by whatever condiments happen to catch my eye. The funniest time was when he told his mom that I had her beat after having meatloaf one night. I just started giggling when he said there had to be a "secret" ingredient in there. LOL! There was! Frosted Flakes
I had no crackers or bread crumbs!
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon |

Spanikopita (swoon)
My mother says it's better than you can get in the Greek restaurant! It's my go-to dish whenever I'm cooking for a dinner party or a mom who just gave birth.
Best,
