Just peachy

It's that time of year......the peaches are ready! When I lived in Utah my sister had a peach tree, she was my main supplier. Every year she would bring me a box of peaches. I would cut them up make cobbler, freeze some for smoothies or peach daiquiris! I looked forward to it every year.

Now I have to buy them.....We have a Farmer's Market in our village twice a week. I went in search of peaches and walked away empty handed they wanted $4 for 4 peaches....I need 8-10 to make cobbler!

After a another week of sulking about the sky high peach prices I went back and found a farmer selling smaller peaches for a more reasonable price...$8.00 and 20 small to medium peaches. They were perfect and perfectly ripe....just enough for 2 peach cobblers!

Or one peach cobbler and 1 mix of peach daiquiris!

I ♥ Chunky

I'm currently in love with homemade chunky salsa.....it's whats for dinner tonight.

I seriously crave this yummy fresh mixture....tonight I'm adding cooked chicken and putting it in a wrap! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I could eat this whole bowl in one sitting it's so good.
My friend made this over the 4th of July and I've made it every week since.

It's one of those recipe that just list the ingredients and you adjust the measurements as you like.

Avocados cubed( I use a minimum of 4)
Red onion chopped ( not big onion fan so did 1/2 cup chopped)
Grape tomatos halved
Cilantro
Jalapeno peppers deseeded and chopped
Juice from one lime
Juice from a slice of an orange
1 tsp of Honey
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic

All that's missing is a cold margarita! 

Enjoy! Happy Thursday!
