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!

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?
