Calling all cooks .. recipe request for the holidays.

I know some of you guys are really talented cooks. (Looking at you, Summer.)
Any how, my wife's walking group always does a themed pot luck for an early xmas party. This year it is Mediterranean - Greece, Turkey, Israel, etc. I can find my way around the kitchen okay but I have nothing like this in my repertoire.
Anyone got a good one to recommend?

Sorry, that's outside my talents.
I can tell you what I like. Rack of lamb (don't ruin with mint jelly), dolmades, spanakopita, tiropita, souvlaki, and baklava.

Wrap Lil Smoky cocktail wieners with thickly sliced bacon (use toothpick to hold together)
Fill a 9x9 glass baking dish with them
sprinkle evenly with a cup of brown sugar
bake at 350 (I think) for around an hour.
They are disgustingly greasy, sweet, piggy, caramelly, fattening and bad for you, but damn, they're sure tasty.

Yep. I was going to say spanakopita...
I wouldn't call it easy, though; at least not the way I make it.

I love cooking, but I haven't gotten into much Greek cooking. I make Greek salads....not terribly interesting for entertaining though.
Good luck!

The most obvious and simple (and damn tasty) thing would be Pita bread and Hummus.
