No. 2 : Kitchen SCOOP

Did you know that August is National Peach Month? This is THE time of year to grab some of these juicy fruits and enjoy them in sweet and savory recipes. I shared this sweet recipe on ATL & CO, but I love pairing peaches with salads too, like the recent Friday Four Georgia Peach Chicken Salad AND the Asian Peach Salsa Salad with Shrimp from ATL & CO this week.

No. 3 : Clever Idea

If you haven’t used coconut sugar before, here’s an easy recipe to try it in! More moist than other sugars. it has a delicious sweet taste that works well with fruit desserts like crisps, crumbles and cobblers.

No. 4 : Cheers!

Don’t like wine that is as sweet as this one? You’re not enjoying it with the right food! This peach crisp is bursting with fruit sweetness, and needs a wine at least as sweet for a good pairing. Moderately sweet, medium bodied with a crisp finish, this is a wine made to enjoy with “stone fruit” desserts like peaches, nectarines and apricots!
