Peachy Keen

I always have the best intentions when I try to watch what I eat.  But truthfully, the word diet has never worked for me.

Nor has the word cleanse.

Like the time Sean and I went on a juice cleanse and I lasted about 5 hours before I sneaked a cracker.

Or even just yesterday morning, I was watching the Today show and they started a 10 day no sugar diet.

I thought to myself, “I should do that.”  I need to cut out my sugar intake.  I need to eat more fruits and vegetables and cut out the processed stuff.

So I looked straight to the peaches.  We had lots and since they’re in season and so versatile, I wanted to go peachy.  I needed savory and satisfying.

I turned to my grill to help me out.  Like many fruits, peaches are so delicious when grilled.

I grilled them up, brought them in, and the Today show idea when straight out the window.   I had some mascarpone in the fridge looking at me, waiting to be paired with something.

And I made this recipe.  And with no problem nor tinge of guilt, I mixed in some powdered sugar.

And as if that wasn’t enough, I added some grilled peaches to a bowl of vanilla ice cream.  Yum-O.

Grilled peaches add great flavor to so many dishes.  Maybe I should entertain another diet.  Seems diets inspire me to come up with some amazing recipes.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Now that’s peachy keen!
