Most of my peaches come from the Peach Truck, which hosts stands all over the Nashville area, including all the farmer’s markets. You pay a pretty penny, BUT you can be sure your bag contains, perfect, sweet peaches. They come in a brown paper bag and are usually ready within two to three days.

This post will also include the easy way to peel peaches and freeze peaches.

Grilled Peaches

Grilled peaches are easy to make.

• Use freestone peaches, slightly firm,
• Slice about a quarter inch thick.
• Brush with olive oil or butter and grill for a few minutes (one side is enough).

Salads with Peaches

Grilled peaches go great with blue cheese crumbles and sliced toasted almonds. Take this to your next cookout or potluck. Another option is a healthy spinach salad with grille peaches. You could also serve grilled peaches with fresh mozzarella or burrata. That would get applause.

• Salad with Grilled Peaches in Salad, Blue Cheese, Toasted Almonds
• Spinach Salad with Grilled Peaches
• Peach Corn Tomato Salad

Peaches Love Pork

Peaches do indeed love pork. Spareribs and pork chops are summer-ized with peaches, but you might want to try my most unique peach and pork bolognese.

If you make peach and rosemary focaccia, you’ll be a star.

• Peaches with Oven Fried Porkchops
• Spareribs with Grilled Peaches
• Pork and Peach Bolognese
• Peach Rosemary Focaccia

Peach Pie

Peach pie is ultra American. So do make this for the summer holidays.

• Peach Blueberry Slab Pie
• Stars and Stripes Peach Pie
• Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler
• Gluten Free Peach Tart (sugar free)

Sugar Free Keto Peach Desserts

I will always have low-carb options (which is mostly how I eat) and they are not a compromise.

Strawberry Sweets

• Strawberry Pie (gluten free)
• Strawberry Muffins (sugar/grain free)

Strawberry Cocktails

• Strawberry Martini
• Frozè
• Strawberry Sangria
• Srawberry Simple Syrup

If you want to really brighten up your party, make strawberry drinks. No one is going to turn down strawberry sangria, full of fresh fruit and bright colors. Get fancy with a strawberry martini and serve it in a pretty glass! When the weather is really hot, try the frozé.

Salads

You often find strawberries in salads in restaurants, but too often served with overly sweet nuts and dressings. This arugula salad with pecorino combines the sweet and salty for a refreshing salad that better accompanies a savory protein. If you like sweeter check out the salad with a confetti of white chocolate.

• Arugula Manchego Strawberry Salad
• Arugula Salad with Fruit and White Chocolate

When purchasing strawberries, remember to get homegrown or organic strawberries. Regular strawberries are loaded with pesticides. Don’t wash in advance, and when storing, make sure they are have room. Strawberries on top of each other in fridge end up too often going bad.

Strawberry Sauce

Lastly, this strawberry sauce made sugar free or traditionally has many uses. You can add to ice cream for a sundae, yogurt, smoothies, etc.

I have to close my eyes when I go to the craft store, because I’m in no mood for scarecrows. I want Sangria, Frose, and all the summer drinks I can manage, but there are a few cocktails that you could drink all year and a few that ease us into the Fall and Winter gracefully.

Summer Cocktails that Work All Year include the Gin Basil Smash with Lemon Simple Syrup

More reasons to grow your own basil. If you  find lemon basil, even better! Lemon Thyme would be another great garnish. Gin Basil Smash Recipe Here.

Summer Cocktails with Multi-Purposes: Elderflower Gin Cocktail

The color comes from Concord grapes which always make me think of Autumn. So good! This might be considered a girlie drink, so be sure to bookmark this for your next shower or Galentine’s party. Elderflower Gin Cocktail here.

Summer Cocktails often have fruit like this Blueberry Old Fashioned 

Light Enough for Summer, substantial enough for Fall. When winter rolls around, make this Cara Cara Orange Old Fashioned.

Blueberry Old Fashioned Recipe Here

Rose Summer Cocktails like Frosé Works All Year, Especially at Holiday Brunches

Frosé is a cocktail you can make all year long using frozen strawberries and you’ll want to have at your holiday brunches. I have these coupe glasses from Libby (Amazon).

Summer Cocktails that Roll into Autumn with Ease

Roasted Butternut Squash Infused Vodka with Sage Garnish

You will need to make your vodka in advance by a week, but trust me, this is so good and especially nice passed around at a holiday dinner in small glasses like these.

Summer Cocktails that Roll into Winter Festivities

When the watermelon is gone, the pomegranates arrive and you can make this Pomegranate Vodka Cocktail drink or this Cranberry Cocktail.

Cheers to the Cocktail Hour. What’s your favorite Summer into Fall/Winter cocktail?

Peach season has arrived and I’m here for it. This is a one layer vanilla cake smothered in fresh peaches, made gluten free, sugar free and grain free.

Peaches enjoy a limited season, scream summer and is the one fruit I will indulge in.

Use two medium sized peaches for this low carb peach cake. If you’re on a low-carb diet, peaches have 13 net carbs and will have a minimum carb effect.

How to Peel Peaches

Peeling peaches is so easy. Cut an x on the bottom. Blanch in boiling water for one minute. Let Cool. Now Peeling is easy. Then slice peaches which will be put in once batter is in the baking pan.

Once you have the peaches arranged on batter, know the cake will rise up around the peaches.

Sometimes you get a recipe just right the first try, and this is one of those times.

I knew I needed to make a peach simple syrup (sugar free option) that didn’t have sugar because I didn’t want to purchase or use a peach liquor. I wanted to use fresh peaches for my peach sangria.

I wasn’t sure what white wine I wanted to use, and found a chenin blanc in the refrigerator that was rather special. I didn’t mind using it, though, because I’m a firm believer in always using wine that is great by itself to either cook with or to embellish.

I also made some ice cubes out of peach simple syrup because I didn’t want anything watering down the white peach sangria recipe. You can make this sugar free using erythritol or allulose.

The ice cubes were so perfect, as well as some frozen raspberries to keep the sangria cold. I also added in a small amount of St. Germaine (elderflower liquor.). If you have some elderflower cordial, that would work too.

It’s important to refrigerate for several hours to overnight to meld the flavors and allow the fruit to give more flavor.

Serve ice cold with peachy ice cubes, frozen raspberries.

Gin Basil Smash

Easy and not too girly….pleasing for anyone.

Best Citrus Margarita

Taking notes on a classic from a restaurant known for their citrus margarita, this is classic and perfectly balanced. Try with this lime margarita salt.

Blueberry Old Fashioned

We are old fashioned fans and this summer spin on the classic is divine.

Blackberry Mint Julep

We make blackberry everything in my house, so why not a cocktail?

. Any of the simple syrups can be made with a sweetener substitute such as Swerve.

Simple Syrups 

You can’t make cocktails without simple syrup. Make your simple syrup sugar free using Swerve. It’s just as good. I do it all the time.

At only 3 net carbs, I am adding this keto friendly, grain free peach muffin to my keto bakery for the next few weeks. I’ve sent out a few testers to rave reviews.

I’m rushing to print because peaches have a short season. I get mine from the Peach Truck, where I am guaranteed the sweetest, best peaches. We look forward to them every year. See Nashville Peach Truck schedule here.

I have done everything imaginable with peaches included a peach pork bolognese, peach sangria and a grilled peach salad, and this is one of my new favorites because it’s easy and it’s sweet treat.

What grains do I use for Grain Free Peach Muffins?

Grain free is also gluten free. I am using mostly almond flour and coconut flour. Eggs add to the structure of the crumb as does a scant amount of xanthan gum. Sour cream aids in flavor and richness.

What sweetener do I use for grain free peach muffins?

I use powdered erythritol, specifically the Swerve brand, but you can use the Lakanto brand also. I use Swerve in my bakery and I’ve written here about why I use it.

I’ve kept this recipe very simple. A little vanilla extract, fresh juicy peaches, almond flour and a bit of coconut flour, eggs and sour cream come together for a perfect muffin texture.

Variations

Mix blueberries or blackberries, fruit that loves to mix with peaches. Serve these muffins with some Rebel sugar free ice cream or this stabilized whipped cream 

Or make in a skillet like the recipe below.

What is the nutritional value for grain free peach muffins?
