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

    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?

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio.

Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.
