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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
