Crisp Flatbread with Goat Cheese and Peaches


Last summer, while I was studying abroad, I missed the entirety of NC peach season.  No biggie, you say, they're just peaches.  But what you don't understand is that peaches are my favorite food.  Hands down.  There isn't anything I would rather eat (except maybe chocolate... then I would just put some chopped chocolate on my peaches!).  So this summer I've been making up for last year's lost peach time, and I added peaches to my CSA order.  So I get 12-18 peaches every week.  Yummy!

But what I don't know is why I've been obsessed with the combination of peaches and goat cheese this summer.  I feel like any time I want a quick lunch, I smear some crackers with goat cheese and slice a peach.  Maybe its because I have an abundance of peaches this summer...  Whatever the reason, I keep trying to find different ways to combine these flavors.

Avocado and Grapefruit Salsa


Every week (most weeks, anyway) I plan out a menu and a grocery list.  But it never fails, when I get to the grocery store I find something that wasn't on my list but that I want anyway.  Sometimes this is something small, a snack or a sweet, but sometimes the result is inspiration for a meal.


Today's dinner was the result of such an inspiration.  I know its not summer yet, and I don't expect my favorite foods to be in the grocery stores.  But Fresh Market had blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, peaches AND grapefruit all on sale.  I didn't know what to do with myself!  The summer fruits made me want to eat something summery.  And how can you not be inspired by something so pretty?
