Hi blog peeps! Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. Ours has been nice; busy but nice. We hosted a dinner last night that I’ll be blogging about soon. Courtesy of Wild Alaskan Seafood Cook It Frozen! & Foodbuzz, I was able to host a delicious dinner party with fresh Alaskan halibut. I’ll give you more details, but it was pretty exciting!
But, let’s get onto The Weekender.
- Find out why you can justify drinking 2% milk instead of skim. I recently switched to 1% or 2% instead of skim, and this post just made me feel better about that decision.
- Tina is training for a marathon with her husband, Mal, and raising money for the Luekemia and Lymphoma Society. Read why she chose Team in Training and donate to her fundraising here. You can skip a latte this week and give $5 to their fund instead, OK?
- How much good are you really doing by eating locally? “Math Lesson for Locavores” makes some very interesting points.
- I really want to make this.
- I can’t wait to try this totally simple treat that Gracie created. Must.buy.dates.
Alright, speaking of simple desserts…Y’all know that I don’t think that dessert has to be just fruit. In my life, fruit is a side dish, not dessert. But in this case, I make an exception.
Broiled Peaches
1. Get ya a pretty peach. Turn your oven broiler on high.
2. Cut it open and realize it’s not so pretty inside. Shrug. Place the beach slices cut side up on the pan. 
3. Add nothing and just place these under the broiler (I put an oven rack on the top shelf for this). Broil for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and browned. And oozing deliciousness.
4. Eat. With a spoon. Don’t burn your tongue.
5. Repeat.
What’s your favorite broiled, grilled, roasted fruit? I love peaches (obviously) and pineapple.

I haven’t tried broiled peach but I can imagine how good it is. My favorite fruit during this summer is definitely peaches!

Peaches are fantastic eaten any time or any way. I love roasting fruit. Pineapple is also delicious grilled with some coconut ice cream. Yum!

I have never had cooked fruit like that! Hmm I should definitely try this out…
Love your weekender as always!
If that’s not the most simple and delicious looking dessert ever I don’t know what is!

Wow I have never tried broiling a peach! It sounds absolutely wonderful.
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter´s last [type] ..Summer Dinner
that looks GREAT. I’ll have to try it!
And about the milk. We drink whole around here… (or 2% when my baby’s hit 2). But I visited my mom (in Alaska–speaking of your Alaskan halibut) not too long ago and saw that they drink whole as well… I guess she’s been doing some research and found that whole is actually the healthiest for you. Who’d have thought?!
I love the idea of broiled peaches- yum! I’m a huge fan of grilled pinneapple
Nothing, but 2% for me. You are half way there. Looking forward to having some of M&D’s fish from their recent trip. Mmmmm
Your peaches look delicious! Let me know if you try the pear butter!
This really does have to be the healthiest dessert ever! My other fave fruit to broil is grapefruit
Molly @ MollyRunsFresh´s last [type] ..Senior- say what
Broiled grapefruit??? I’ve never even heard of such a thing. Do you just slice it in half, similar to the peach?
love love love peaches! i think you need to add a scoop of ice cream (or Greek yog) on top of that tho with almonds + nutmeg ; )
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run]´s last [type] ..Best of Summer 2010

Peaches are def my favorite fruit to grill. That and vanilla ice cream, can’t be beat!

I like the way you roll.
Plums! They are awesome with a little bit of brown sugar
Plums? I’ve never heard of roasted/grilled plums!
Mmmmm broiled peaches – delish! Pears are great too.

I’ve never thought about grilling peaches! What a great idea. I usually do pineapple.
Lisa´s last [type] ..A Different Kind of Sunday Steak Night
Mmm, so many good things in this post! I can’t wait to try the peach and that pb/date frozen pocket. I wish I was at home so I could do it right now!

Our peaches have not been very ripe and tasty this summer. Did cooking them like this help bring out the flavor? Perhaps this is what we’ve been missing!
Caitlin´s last [type] ..You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me
Yes, it did help. Our peaches have been mediocre too, which is what prompted me to try this. Much better!
Grilled peaches with marscapone is one of my favorite treats ever!! Tried grilled pineapple next
