Grilled Peaches

Recipe at bottom of page

Every summer my mom buys large pecks or containers of peaches from a local farm down the street from our house. I'm not lying, these are the best peaches on the planet. They are so juicy and sweet! We go through these babies like crazy, I could easily eat 2 or 3 a day! 

Today my mom and I were in a rush to get to the farm before it closed for the night--we needed to get our fix of peaches for the week! Haha! The farm closes at 6:00 pm and we rolled in at 6:05 pm. We desperately ran up to the farm stand hoping it would still be open. Thankfully it was, and  we got our peck of peaches for the week. Phew!

Tonight we were grilling up some pork chops for dinner and my dad had the idea of grilling the peaches as well, I mean we had so many, so why not? The result: PERFECTION! The peaches gained a whole new level of intensity; the natural sugars became so prevalent. We ended up having them for dinner and dessert; the grilled peaches tasted delicious paired with the grilled pork chops and amazing with greek yogurt.

Try out this yummy and healthy summer treat!
