24 Hour Read-a-thon Edition: Tomato-Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich from Susan McBride, Author of The Debs
We are about to hit the half-way mark for Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon now and it’s time for a good meal! I’ve got the perfect tomato-mozarella pesto sandwich for you to try out! This recipe comes from Susan McBride, author of the young adult novel The Debs. I have the ARC of the sequel Loves, Lies and Texas Dips which comes out in June in my read-a-thon pile and I hope I can pull off reading it today. So it seems only fitting to share this sandwich with you.
In my author interview with Susan she said, “My favorite sandwich is a take-off of the Whole Foods tomato-mozzarella pesto sandwich, which I make at home. Use whole grain bread and cover one side with tomato slices and slabs of fresh mozzarella. Then spread the other piece of bread with thin layers of soy mayo and pesto. Smoosh it all together, slice and eat. It’s yummy!”
Seriously, SO yummy! I ate this for like a week straight when I made this! And I’m about to go make it right now. So consider this your reminder to go eat a good, healthy meal and good luck continuing on with the read-a-thon!

I’m not usually a fan of tomatoes, but that looks SO GOOD!
on April 18th, 2009 at 5:23 pmOh, that looks so delicious, and I love tomato and mozzarella sandwiches. Bookmarked! Thanks. =)
on April 18th, 2009 at 5:36 pmIt’s like Bruschetta! And pesto makes anything wonderful.
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:24 pmThat’s a great looking sandwich!
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:33 pmYum! Good luck and happy reading.
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:39 pmSee, I don’t really like bread (I know, my mom doesn’t get it either), but the tomato, cheese, and pesto combo looks divine.
Great job on the read-a-thon so far – I don’t know how you do it with little ones to distract you. Keep it up!!
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:52 pmLooks like a delicious sandwich!
on April 18th, 2009 at 6:53 pmMmm… love the food posts. I’m going to have to beg my husband to make something for dinner, but I doubt it will look as good as this.
Good job on the reading – you’re doing better than me
on April 18th, 2009 at 7:13 pmIf I were a part of this fun, I would have to go on a 24 hour starve-a-thon. I guess you need sustenance to get through the night, so I understand. Go Natasha!
on April 18th, 2009 at 7:28 pmYum! And tomato season is just around the corner (OK, it’s a long corner, but it’s coming!)
Thanks for the great idea! Keep reading, keep eating, have fun!
on April 18th, 2009 at 8:09 pmYUM! That sandwich looks amazing. I love that you’ve posted a few recipes during the read-a-thon… such a great and different way to get people motivated for the day. Happy reading, Natasha!!
on April 18th, 2009 at 9:03 pmI love the combination of tomatoes and mozarella…. SO GOOD. I had dinner but now its getting to that weird time where if I’m going to stay up late I need to eat. Must… find… food.
best of luck with the reading!
on April 18th, 2009 at 9:30 pmI’m blog-hopping whilst my husband watches the UFC and he glanced at the screen and said, “Yum, that sandwich looks good.” That’s saying something since he isn’t particularly fond of tomatoes or cheese. It looks super-tasty.
on April 18th, 2009 at 9:33 pmUm, that sandwich looks really, really good.
on April 18th, 2009 at 10:50 pmSince I had to work all night, no read-a-thon for me. But I had a chance to sit down at the computer and I wanted to cheer you on!! I hope you are still reading!! (and damn…I need me one of those sandwiches!)
on April 18th, 2009 at 11:16 pmWow.. that looks fantastic.. mmmmm I need to try this.
