CHIC AND YE SHALL FIND: July 2020

We all love peaches. Well, I haven't eaten peaches until this year, but I have found some wonderful peach recipes that I want to share with you!

They say that peach is the most flattering color that a woman can wear. My husband and I had a peachy coral bedroom for years. Fung Shui said it was bad luck, but I think it was gorgeous!

Okay for some recipes! How about Peaches and Proscuitto?

I think these bacon wrapped peach slices look good, my husband disagrees! He thinks they would be messy. Of course all he likes is Peach Crisp or Cobbler.

These Peach and Brie Quesadillas with Lime-Honey Dipping Sauce also look good.

We made these the other night and I loved them! My husband used smoked chicken instead of cooked chicken. Pepper Jack, Chicken, and Peach Quesadillas. We had chopped cilantro and sour cream with them instead of basil and onions.

Give average chicken quesadillas new life with sweet peaches and spicy cheese. For the kids, try fontina or Monterey Jack instead.

Of course you have to have some cocktails with peaches, too. Not just bellinis.

The newest recipe that peaks my interest is this salad:

A bacon wrapped peach caprese salad.

A little sweet, a little savory, and a lot of enticing flavors in this new spin on a warm weather favorite.

This photo doesn't show the bacon wrapped peaches that they top this salad with but they show it on instagram and in the recipe. Tastermade.com

INGREDIENTS

Caprese:
One bunch fresh basil
8 ripe yellow peaches
4 ripe tomatoes
8 strips bacon
3 large fresh mozzarella balls
Sea salt
Black pepper
Balsamic vinegar reduction:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the balsamic vinegar reduction:

2. In a small skillet, combine vinegar and honey and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid has reduced and thickened. Set aside to cool.

3. For the caprese:

4. Halve four peaches and wrap each half in a bacon strip. In a cast-iron pan, cook bacon-wrapped peaches until bacon is cooked and peaches are tender. Set aside to cool to room temperature while you assemble the salad.

5. For the salad, thinly slice the tomatoes, the four remaining peaches and the mozzarella. Layer all the peaches, mozzarella and tomatoes in alternating order, then top liberally with balsamic reduction. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Then you put the bacon wrapped peaches on the top, in the center.

Of course, dining with a peachy table setting and a peach colored floral arrangement could enhance the enjoyment of these dishes....so could dressing in peachy tones!
