Our Farmer's Market smells like orchard lately: peaches are in it's season. Baskets filled with a velvety fruits and delicate aroma invite the visitors from many stands. We've been eating peaches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and in between for two weeks. Our home is perfumed with a lovely peach aroma.
I am experimenting with peaches in unusual (for us) meals. For example: polenta for breakfast with peaches and agave nectar. Easy, but healthy and delicious start of the day. Why it is unusual? Because we eat polenta with cheeses, mushrooms, vegetables, in other words savory.

Dear friends, have you made an unusual meal with the peaches?
See you,
Marina
I love peaches and this sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marina! :)
DeleteWhat an interesting idea! I've only had polenta in a savoury dish so I'm intrigued by this Marina! :)
ReplyDeleteSame here, but then I really wanted a bawl of warm plane polenta with a cup of tea. :)
DeleteWhat a great way to start the day. I would have never tought of polenta!!!! It looks very good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim. It tasted good too! :)
Deletei have quite a bit of polenta in the cupboard too - peaches aren't in season here but there must be something that would work in their place that is....will have to have a think.
ReplyDeleteLiz, I think any fruits would work, apples with honey or agave nectar. Let me know if you make it and hoe you like it. :)
DeleteNo I have never made unusual meal with peaches, but looking at your breakfast, I sure am inspired :-)
ReplyDeleteGood, I am glad! :)
DeleteI love polenta Marina! I've never thought of having them with peaches or had them sweet. This is a great idea and I'm learning something new everyday. : )
ReplyDeleteI know, we always ate polenta in savory meals, this one was a great experiment! :)
DeleteThis sounds fantastic- I've never had a sweet polenta but it would be very yummy. I can't wait for peaches to be in season here!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your little Smith would like it too, he already eats a real food, right? :)
Deleteno--but i would love to have some peaches with real cream--beautiful pic!
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of cream on my fruits, I love the real taste. But that's just me... :)
DeleteI've been starting a peach craze too. Like the idea of pairing them with polenta - nice contrast of flavors. And an excellent idea for breakfast. Nice post - thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The color also makes me smile: a great way to start my day! :)
DeleteHmm, polenta with peaches actually sounds really good to me. I think I will experiment with it too.
ReplyDeleteTry, and let me know if you like ti! :)
DeleteI haven't made anything unusual with peaches but I am definitely trying your Peaches & Polenta! Looks and sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Della, yes it is such a "sunny" way to start your day, colors and taste are so happy! :)
DeletePeaches are not yet available at our farmers' market, I am hoping they will be soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how season moves from the south to north, so if you want to travel, you can be in same season for a while, like strawberries or peaches... :)
DeleteWe have the best tree ripened peaches in the stores right now. I eat them on cereal or oatmeal...or by themselves. I have never made polenta...now I'm wondering if I would like it!
ReplyDeleteIf you eat corn you would like it, I think. :)
DeleteI also use polenta for savoury dishes, so this is unusual also for me. But it sounds sooo good that I have to try it for breakfst with some fruits :-) Thanks for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome, Joanna! Let me know if you make it. :)
DeleteI love this application of the polenta. Warm and comforting drizzled with sweetness and juicy fruit. I'd love to start any day this way!
ReplyDeleteMe too, the colors also brings me in a happy mood right from the start! :)
