Taste of Summer


It's the season for peaches and I must admit I went a little overboard at the market recently.  I arrived home with more peaches than I really knew what to do with.  So I got down to business and began trying out different peach recipes. I made everything from peach slaw to peach cobbler.  For the peaches that became a little too ripe I decided to make salsa.  Not only is it great alone on tortilla chips, but you can serve it as a topping for grilled pork, chicken, or fish. Enjoy!!!
