Breads and Breakfast

Basil Pesto Rolls

I love Pesto! I love Bread! Put them together and it is an amazing treat.  I saw this picture on Pinterest and of course I had to pin it. The problem is the recipe is in a different language.  Sigh.  So this is what I did to make it for our family.

Press out a roll of cresent rolls and spread your pesto on top of the dough.  Roll the dough like cinnamon rolls and cut into pieces.  Place the rolls on a pie plate and bake according to directions. Serve with marinara sauce as an appetizer. 

Carrot-Zucchini Bread

I’m a big fan of carrot cake and zucchini bread, so I came up with this recipe that combines the two. It’s a tasty way to eat your veggies! :) Topping this moist, flavorful bread with a yummy cream cheese frosting just seemed like the right thing to do, and I decided I might as well add some chopped walnuts as a finishing touch. I was happy with how it turned out…I think the cream cheese frosting really adds to it, but if you’re watching your calories, it’s good without the frosting, too. This recipe makes 2 loaves.
