We’re nearing the end of peach season in the south, a bittersweet time of year for peach lovers like myself. Bitter because I dread the peach-less months of the year that loom ahead, but sweet because I try to fit peaches into nearly every meal of the day in order to savor the peak of their juicy freshness.
Here is a delicious way to add some fresh peaches into your dinner menu. The grilled swordfish pairs perfectly with this sweet and tangy salsa. Add some fresh diced jalapeno if you are looking for some heat with your sweet!

So it’s that time of year again. Despite the snow that is falling here in North Georgia today, spring is just around the corner. Soon we’ll be doffing our sweaters and opting for tank tops and flip flops. So maybe it’s time to watch what we’re eating so that we can be fit and trim for the warm months!
Here is a healthy meal that doesn’t feel, taste, or look healthy at all. It’s colorful and meaty and full of flavor. The spicy heat of the fish contrasts perfectly with the cool, creamy avocado salad. And the leftovers make great fixings for a taco night!
