Tasty Tuesday--Balsamic Glazed Grilled Peaches

Since I love to eat and know many good cooks, I am planning on making Tuesdays my day to post recipes. If you have a great one that you would like to share, just let me know and I will give you all of the credit on the blog. It would be a bonus if the recipe was not only tasty, but healthy too!

Here is an easy and versatile summertime recipe for using those sweet juice peaches:

Balsamic Glazed Grilled Peaches
Serve these with main course or with ice cream as dessert
½ c balsamic vinegar
2 T honey
4 peaches halved and pitted

Bring vinegar to boil in a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until reduced in half. Remove from heat and stir in honey. Coat grill with cooking spray and heat before heating (it could explode if spraying while heating and since you know my experiences with fire, we don't want that to happen). Lightly coat peach halves with spray. Place peaches cut side facing down on the grill and cook until well marked, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until fairly tender, about 3 minutes longer. Brush the tops with vinegar mixture and grill another 1 minute. Makes 4 servings.

We decided that a pound puppy would be a good choice, so off to PetsMart we went, since they brought in a selection of puppies for adoption each weekend. Upon surveying the motley crew of dogs and cats, Lynn and I spotted a couple of cute white dogs with black and brown spots—a brother and sister pair, but we weren’t quite sure if one of them might be “the right one.” So back to the car for the next stop, and off to the humane society we went. Anytime you go to a place like that you hurt for the sad little animals just peering through the cages, longing to be grabbed up into your arms to be loved and cared for and you wish that you could take them all home. After checking out the big dogs, the small dogs, the old and the young, the hairy and even scary dogs, it was determined that none of those was meant to go home...

Make the topping by cutting the flour and sugar into the cold butter. Sprinkle topping over pastries. Cook at 375 degrees about 15 minutes or until good and brown.
