Grilled Peaches

Peaches are a summer favourite when it comes to fruit, especially Niagara peaches; nothing else quite compares. And every so often I like to spice things up by throwing peach halves right on to the grill – which is a real treat! Grilled peaches are the perfect way to jazz up a weekend brunch/breaky or if you want to impress guests with a sweet and smoky dessert.

I like to keep mine simple with a light drizzle of pure maple syrup as the peaches are the real winning treat already. However, if you are looking for something super delicious and indulgent, grilled peaches  topped with your favourite type of ice or whip cream is the way to go! I personally love them topped with Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss “Naked Coconut” – YUM!

Also, another favourite dish for grilled peaches when looking to use them as part of your main dish, is to pair your grilled peaches with ricotta, basil and a drizzle of EVO and your favourite balsamic vinegar (see here my spin on the classic Caprese).

Rose Gin & Grapefruit

Happy Weekend!

What better way to kick off the weekend than with a refreshing summer cocktail. Right now, I am loving Dillon’s Rose Gin and wanted to share this special find with you all. And for those of you in the GTA/South Western Ontario region – it’s a great opportunity to buy and support local, so go grab Dillon’s!

Uniquely infused with rose hips and rose petals, this traditional London-style gin offers a complex blend of aromas with an added sweetness perk up your traditional Gin & Soda or Gin & Tonic. I personally prefer the soda version, but it really works either way.

Dillon’s Rose Gin, topped with soda, a squeeze of grapefruit and a slice of cucumber – I will bet that you won’t have just one! Rose Gin & Grapefruit
