Tomato and Basil Spread

April 4, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Last week when I went to the Farmers Market I bought Tomato Basil spread from a vendor and I just fell in love with.  The only thing was it was either $7.00 or 3 for $5.00, plus I can only get it at the Farmers Market.  So I decided I would make the spread myself and you know what? It turned out even better.  Plus I saved myself some money considering this probably cots me less than a $1.50 to make.  Here is my Tomato Basil Spread.
Tomato and Basil Spread
This spread is so creamy delicious! If you’re a fan of pasta sauce I think you will love this spread! It’s taste like robust tomatoes with fresh garlic and basil. Oh my gosh, just amazing!!! I am so happy that I created this and happy that I do not have to travel to the Farmers Market to get it!
Tomato and Basil Spread
The spread would be amazing on wraps, panini sandwiches, dipping celery, baguette or breadsticks in. The possibilities are endless!! It makes for a great use of leftover tomato paste and a little bit goes a long way. Make sure you get a good tomato paste when you make it for even better tomato flavor!
Tomato and Basil Spread
The Tomato Basil Spread is made with tomato paste, fresh garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, oregano and to make it creamy and to cut down on the acid, greek yogurt. I took the spread to work and it was a big hit. I used Trader Joe’s Italian Rosemary Crackers to dip in the spread. Have you tried those crackers from TJ’s? They are so good! I wish I took a picture of the box for you.

If you’re looking for a nice flavorful spread this is the one for you! The flavors are just so crazy good! I have been craving pasta and this spread really satisfies my cravings!! I bet a nice glass of red wine would go great with it too! 🙂

    Wow, I just made this and it is delicious!! I made a half batch since that’s how much tomato paste I had leftover from last week 🙂

    I’m going to put this on my Caprese sandwich tomorrow in place of the pesto. I’m already excited for it! I also want to try it out on a loaded veggie sandwich. I don’t like ketchup so I think this will be a great substitution for me!

    I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

      I am so glad you like it! I have to say it is one of my favorite new spreads. I bet it would be amazing on a caprese sandwich, which happens to be one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. Your right it would be a good sub for ketchup! Thank you so much for letting me know it turned out for you! Enjoy it!! I think I’ll make some again too!

    The sandwich was delicious! For an afternoon snack I had a tablespoon of this smeared on a slice of bread, topped with a couple tablespoons of mozzarella cheese and some red pepper flakes. It was a yummy pizza-eque snack for around 120 calories!

    At this rate I’ll have to make a new batch soon!

    I am so happy you made this! Because I too am addicted to the tomato basil spread I buy from the farmers market. So happy it’s here for me to make myself now! And it looks just like the one I purchase.

    I think I may have bought the same spread from Farmer’s Market as you did! And now I’m addicted. I just googled “tomato garlic basil spread” and your recipe came up. Can’t wait to try it!

I ran and grabbed my dough bowl and filled it with Claire Burke Christmas Memories Potpourri that filled the room with the scent of cinnamon, cloves and Christmas trees. It’s perfect! The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
🍎
If you are looking for Fall and Winter scented fragrances. I highly recommend checking out @myclaireburke

Have a great day!
