Focaccia with Lemon Artichoke Pesto

I brought this lovely combination to bunko on Saturday evening and got rave reviews. When I post here I like to feature a relatively original recipe because I wouldn't want someone to plagiarize my recipes. However, I got so many requests for the recipes that I agreed to post links on my blog. That is one of the main reasons I started a blog - so I wouldn't have to email so many recipes!

The focaccia bread is from King Arthur Flour. Easiest bread recipe ever! Instead of the pizza dough flavour I use 2-3 teaspoons of Focaccia Bread Spices from Epicure Selections and skip the cheese powder to keep it lactose free. I sprinkle some dried oregano and Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt on before baking it in a Pampered Chef 9x13" stoneware pan.

Ingredients I added

 I found the Lemon Artichoke Pesto on Red Shallot Kitchen via Foodgawker. The only change I made to the original recipe was to add a dash of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning because I was looking for a little heat.

These recipes are so easy that I made them the morning we hosted a birthday party for two of our children! Yes, that easy. Now go make some!
