Peachy

Two peachy breakfasts

My husband passionately tells me the best peaches in the US is  Drrrrr, Drum roll please.  It’s from Hurricane, Utah!  Located about 20 miles east of St.George, on the way to Zion National Park. There is an LDS church owned peach farm in this small community that produces big, mouth watering peaches. Since I’m not familiar with famous Georgia peaches, I have doubts but I can not dismiss his statement. HIs peach standard is high, it is really hard to please my husband with Costco peaches. I know you love Hurricane holy peaches, but look! It came in special individual compartmentalize package. Isn’t it neat?

Peaches pair well with many dishes. My favorite peach chutney is good with either pork or chicken. The last two Saturdays he made great breakfasts with peaches, finally sensing my aura signal of Honey, peaches are going baaad! Do something. Wait, did I just say that to him out loud?  Peach in muffins sound not so appealing to me but the recipe he got from allrecipe.com was surprisingly delicious. His crepe is also good and it’s our family’s frequently requested breakfast menu.
