Yes, to me, too! Here in the NorthEast, we are smackdab in the middle of the peach harvest&#8230;and they are so good! There are so very many sweet things that you can do with peaches; oh let me count the ways:\u00a0pies, cobblers, crisps, crumbles, muffins, jam, ice cream, sorbet, pancakes, smoothies, popsicles, teas, sangria&#8230;. \u00a0I\u2019d love to hear of <em>your<\/em> favorite way to eat a peach!<\/p>\n<p>But I do love using peaches in savory foods, too! \u00a0Now perhaps there aren&#8217;t quite as many options&#8230;but equally yummy! How about used as a glaze for chicken? Or chopped fine and added to ground chicken for meatballs? Peaches are FABulous added to the grill when you have fish or chicken going! Try simply topping them with a drizzle of really good balsamic vinegar and some goat cheese; oh yeah!<\/p>\n<p>This week, however, I have a\u00a0REALLY\u00a0simple recipe for <span style=\"color: rgb(255, 153, 0); \"><em><strong>Peach Salsa<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. Great served with grilled salmon, or chicken breast, or shrimp kabobs! \u00a0This recipe comes together so quickly I did it twice this week&#8230;once with a ginger sweet flavor and once with a sort-of-spicy tomatillo salsa mixed in. Equally delicious!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.58.44.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20736\" src=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.58.44-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2014-07-13 21.58.44\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.58.44-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.58.44.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 153, 0); \">Peach Salsa<\/span> (Two Ways)<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Gingery<\/span> Peach Salsa<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ingredients<\/span><\/strong>:<br \/>\n2 large ripe, yet firm, peaches<a href=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.54.56.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-20737\" src=\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.54.56-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2014-07-13 21.54.56\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.54.56-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/2014-07-13-21.54.56.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nhandful of yellow and red grape tomatoes<br \/>\n1 tablespoon ginger preserves<br \/>\n2 tablespoons red onion, cut into a small dice<br \/>\nzest and juice of 1\/2 of a lime<br \/>\nsea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">directions<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>combine ginger preserves and lime juice and zest; mix together<\/li>\n<li>remove pit, and cut peaches into bite-size pieces; add to ginger-lime mixture<\/li>\n<li>slice grape tomatoes in half; also add these<\/li>\n<li>season well; and combine together<\/li>\n<li>put to the side for a few minutes and then taste for additional seasoning<\/li>\n<li>set aside and let flavors come together while the meat\/fish is being cooked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Spicy<\/span> Peach Salsa<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>ingredients<\/strong><\/span>:<br \/>\n2 large ripe, yet firm, peaches<br \/>\nhandful of yellow and red grape tomatoes<br \/>\n2 (or more) tablespoons tomatillo salsa (salsa verde)<br \/>\n2 tablespoons small dice red onion<br \/>\nzest and juice of 1\/2 of a lime<br \/>\nsea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">directions<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>combine tomatillo salsa and lime juice and zest; mix together<\/li>\n<li>remove pit, and cut peaches into bite-size pieces; add to tomatillo mixture<\/li>\n<li>slice grape tomatoes in half; also add these<\/li>\n<li>season well; and combine together<\/li>\n<li>put to the side for a few minutes and then taste for additional seasoning<\/li>\n<li>set aside and let flavors come together while the meat\/fish is being cooked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Here are <a href=\"Here%20are some facts about the nutrition associated with peaches; good stuff!\" target=\"_blank\">some facts<\/a> about the nutrition associated with peaches; good stuff!\u00a0)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 153, 0); \">\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665<\/span><\/p>\n<p>God loves you!\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">\u00a0\u2665\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(Please don\u2019t\u00a0<strong>ever<\/strong>\u00a0forget that!)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 153, 0); \">\u2665\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>coleen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh&#8230;does that not say \u2018summer!!!\u2019 to you?
