Celebrating Summer Peaches!

By Kelly · 3 Comments

One of my favorite things about summer is the wide variety of fresh seasonal fruit available! Just recently my wonderful friend Tiffany shared about her fun family trip to pick strawberries (as well as 20+ strawberry recipes)!

So in honor of National Peach Month, I thought it would be fun to share some of my family’s favorite grain-free peach recipes! Especially since peaches hold a special place in my heart …

As a kid growing up in the south (where hot summer days often reach the mid-90s), I remember the simple pleasure of sitting on the porch happily eating a fresh ripe peach as the sweet cool juices ran down my little chin. Mmm, so delicious and refreshing! It doesn’t get much better than that – unless of course, those fresh ripe peaches find their way into peach pie, peach cobbler, peach jam … well, you get the point!

So if you enjoy peaches as much as we do, this recipe collection is for YOU!
