Happy Monday! Can you believe that later this week will be July? And more importantly July 4th! We are officially past the mid point of the year which means the holiday season of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is creeping closer and closer!
When did that happen!? Sheesh!
Before we start to get carried away with halloween candy and jingle bells lets bring it back to the fact that we are almost in July shall we?
When I think of July what comes to mind is fireworks, fun summer bbq’s, pool time, popsicles, and family reunions or gatherings! It’s the time of the year that everyone makes time to get together, slow down, enjoy the weather, stay up way to late and stuff their faces with s’mores! It’s what makes summer so magical!
Growing up I made so many memories during summer. I can remember playing kickball in our swimsuits, riding around on our bikes till the sun went down, walking up to the ice cream shop near our house for a cool treat, and smelling the heavenly scent of my mom grilling dinner in our backyard. Summer was the best!
No school, just fun! Sure it probably stressed mom out to have us home and running around all summer, but the memories we made were priceless! Family get togethers are the best, I just wish we had more cousins that were around our age. My brother and I were the youngest of all the cousins so we spent alot of time playing with each, which we were already familiar with! 🙂 But the food was incredible because of all the “wanna be chefs” in our family!
Todays recipe is all about celebrating fun, summer, and family! One of my favorite desserts growing up was strawberry shortcake. You know.. the angel food cake cups filled with macerated strawberries and topped with fresh whip cream. THE BEST, right!
This Grilled Peach Shortcake is a twist on that classic Strawberry Shortcake Recipe that everyone loves. Fresh juicy peaches grilled for a couple minutes to give that smokey grill flavor are placed on top of a couple buttery shortbread bars and finished off with some homemade coconut whipped cream and fresh blueberries.
Its a fun fancy way to change up your shortcake recipe that everyone will love! Who knows, it may be the new favorite at your family gatherings!
