Pesto Cream Cheese Spread

So good, you can't have just one!  Try this wonderful spread with crackers (I served with Ritz Air Crisps) as an appetizer.  I made it this past Sunday for our little dinner party and it was quite the hit.

This is a more "Festive" photo I found,
perfect for holiday parties, right?
