The Tastes of Summer....YUM!


I just love peaches in the summertime! My in-laws recently visited Fredricksburg and brought us back some deliciously juicy peaches. I decided to create a tasty dessert and man was it good.
Here is what I did...
-First, I cut the peaches in half and removed the pit
-Then, I melted some butter on my grill pan and when it was hot I laid the peaches flesh side down and grilled until the peaches were heated through and had grill marks on them. (During the grilling, I occasionally scooted them around the pan to prevent sticking.)
-I placed them in a bowl flesh side up and sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon.
-Then I topped with vanilla ice cream and they were absolutely delicious.
***The warm peaches melted the ice cream so it was like a kicked up version of peaches and cream...you should try it! ;)

One thing Eden is definitely enjoying this summer is popcicles! I think her favorite flavor is cherry. Here are some pics of little E chowing down on her "poh-cle" - as she says.







We also have been enjoying grilling out and our favorite thing right now is BBQ grilled chicken and corn on the cob....and we of course love watermelon! :)

What is your favorite summer time food??

How do you cook your BBQ grilled chicken and corn on the cob??

And my sister in law edited the cutest picture of my neice eating a popsicle. She did it all in black and white except for the red popsicle. That would be so cute with all those pictures of Eden!!!
