Sundried Tomato and Pesto Quick Bread

December 11, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Hows life?  I have to say same old same old.  I’m just patiently counting down the days till Christmas.  I get so excited, like a little kid.  My favorite part about Christmas is sitting around, listening to Christmas music and having wonderful munchies while we open our gifts.  Speaking of gifts, I really need to get my shopping done!!  Are you done yet?

Today I have for you my Sundried Tomato and Pesto Quick Bread.  This bread is so moist, and the little bites of sundried tomato makes this bread really pop!!  It’s a perfect bread to go with a pasta dinner or with a side of soup.  I made this bread on Saturday and had it with my Chicken Vegetable Soup.  Oh and a little tip, if you keep your sundried tomatoes int he refrigerator it will prolong the life of the tomatoes.  They last practically forever!


You can use store bought pesto in the recipe, but it’s so easy to make your own, so I whipped up a quick batch of pesto.  It’s not really a full creamy pesto like you buy at the store because I am adding it in the bread.  I’m looking for more of the basil flavor than if I was using it as a dip.  You can use the pesto recipe to make a dip, but you will have to add more basil and more olive oil to it!

Even though the bread doesn’t scream holidays, it is green and red after all, so I consider it a Christmas bread!  Actually I consider this bread anytime of the year!  I really love the flavor of pesto.  The bread is made with Greek yogurt so it’s extra moist and I also threw in a half cup of shredded mozzarella cheese for extra flavor.  This bread really has it all!!

The recipe makes one large loaf or three mini loaves.  I opted for the mini loaves so I can freeze them and have them for dinner.  Actually I’m giving one to my Friend Andrea who loves pesto.  I hope she likes the bread.

I am just busy, busy these days, so I must be going!  I’m going to wrap some of my Christmas presents, so I don’t have to do them all in one day.  Wrapping gifts are so time consuming.  Do you like to wrap presents?  I always make the first few so pretty with ribbons and ties and then by the time I’m half way through, I throw a bow on them and I’m done with it!  lol

Have a great day!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      I love making bread, but yeast breads are so time consuming. When I start one, then I want to leave but I can’t because I have to punch it down! lol

    This bread looks and sounds delicious! Congrats on making it on today’s top 9!!! Question – could one substitute homemade Pesto with store bought and if so – how much? I’m guessing 1 Tbsp.???
    Thanks so much. I WILL try this for sure.

      Hi Sarah, I would go with a 1/3 cup. I think that should work ok? If at the end it doesn’t see like enough, just smear it on your bread for serving, maybe mix it with a little butter?

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.

Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
