Just Peachy

August is National Peach Month.  At 66 calories for a large peach, this naturally delicious treat also boasts calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and vitamins C and K.  So, when it was time to fire up the grill, I decided to throw some peaches on.

Grilled Peaches

Cut peach in half, discarding the stone and stem.  Brush olive oil on each side.  Grill for 4-5 min, cut side down, until grill marks show up.  Turn the peach over and grill on the opposite side for another 4-5 min.

For a savoury complement, pour some balsamic and add a dash of salt.  This is great on top of a bed of arugula and prosciutto.

For a sweet complement, sprinkle cinnamon and top with whip cream or vanilla ice cream.

And with their natural sweetness, make some extra peaches and save them to top your morning bowl of steel cut oats or afternoon treat of greek yogurt.

Yum Yum!
