Pistachio Avocado Quick Bread and a Giveaway!

Diamond Pistachio Nuts and Avocados come together for a tender and flavorful quick bread.
Pistachio Avocado Quick Bread from dineanddish.net

The other day I was feeling a bit full of myself, bragging about my love of baking and how even the summer heat doesn’t keep me from turning on the oven. Then, I went into my kitchen and whipped up a loaf of this Pistachio Avocado Quick Bread, loaded with those shelled Diamond Pistachio Nuts I told you about when I made that amazing Toffee Brittle. This loaf bakes for an hour in a pretty hot oven. As I was cleaning up in the kitchen, and sweat was dripping off my forehead, I started thinking “maybe I’m not actually cut out for baking in the summer heat!” I was miserably hot…and our air conditioner was on! Or so I thought… turns out our air conditioner was broken and my love for summer baking was not. I recovered, our air conditioner got fixed, and I went on to boast my fondness for baking in the summer!

Pistachio Avocado Quick Nut Bread from dineanddish.netDo you love baking no matter the temp outside or do you save your baking for when it’s cool outside so heating up your oven heats up your cold house? My friends at Diamond of California nuts and I think baking with nuts should happen all year long! Diamond is offering a fun and fresh Diamond Nuts Baking Kit to one lucky Dine & Dish reader! I’ll tell you about how to enter the giveaway in a second, but beforeI do, let me tell you about this bread.

If you love banana bread, you will love this Pistachio Avocado Quick Bread recipe even more… I promise. I’ve never tasted a quick bread with more flavor. The crust has a delicious nutty butter flavor and the inside of the loaf was so tender and good… the pistachio nuts and avocados make such a wonderful combination for this quick bread! I hope you’ll give it a try!

    For the first time in ten years, I’m facing a summer of baking with no air conditioning, so I’m going for pre-formed cookies, kept in the freezer and baked fresh as needed, so the oven needs to be on only about 15 minutes. My favorite cookie is a gluten free buckwheat cookie I make up as I go with what ever dried fruits I have on hand, seeds, nuts and no added sweetener.

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe.

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
