The fresh peaches right now are simply out of this world! So ripe and sweet! While they are delicious right out of the fruit bowl, of course, I have to turn them into a wonderful smoothie. They are just the best thing of the week! Chic Fil A Milkshakes are a pale comparison to these!
Fresh Peach Smoothie
Handful of ice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1-2 fresh peaches, pealed and sliced
1 cup almond milk
Blend and Enjoy!!
Sorry about the fuzzy photo
Next was a sort of made up dish using what I had on hand in the kitchen. I call it Quinoa Risotto.
I used the above ingredients, quinoa, olive oil, 2 wedges Laughing Cow cheese and 1/4 Cup shredded Parmesan cheese.

Cook Quinoa according to package directions. After cooked, add the cheeses to melt. Stir until creamy and enjoy!
This was a huge hit!! Who knew my boys would eat quinoa in such heapfuls!
The other morning I woke up with no breakfast plan. That is not a good thing! I am not a fan of cereal and because the Third Son doesn’t do milk it’s never a good option. He also doesn’t do yogart or smoothies, so unless I’m a short order cook at 6:30 am I have to have a plan. I had some Jimmy Dean crumbled Turkey Sausage I hadn’t tried before. Alas, no eggs to scramble them in. I did have tortillas and cheese. So, I thought a breakfast quesadilla would do the trick. Who wouldn’t want that?
Well, as good as they looked and sounded, they weren’t the hugest hit I had hoped. One son didn’t want the cheese, one said he wasn’t hungry and one thought the idea of tacos for breakfast was pretty cool.

I think this would be a really good breakfast – I choose to ignore my boys on this one.
I wish you would give it a try and let me know what you think!
Well, that’s it for now. It’s Saturday, so I’m off of kitchen duty.
Enjoy your Weekend!
What is your favorite Peach food now? What are you cooking up for breakfast? I’m desperate for new ideas . . .
