Peaches are pretty cool around here.
We live near the magic spot that grows super star peaches: Palisade, Colorado.
Peaches n Cream Soda from Palisade
I've shared a lot of peach goodness before...here....and....
here: Grilled Peaches with basil and swiss
And now the new recipes for 2011:
Creamy Peach Cupcakes
This find was on pinterest.
They sounded so light and fun.
And I simply adored the way she put peach slices on top,
so I did the exact same thing!
They are full of fresh fruit (and all that other sweet stuff)!
I also made mini cakes with the extra batter.
I served them in hot dog carriers.
Umm, completely loved that idea. ;)
The other new recipe is a healthier option. My kids drink a lot of smoothies. It's an ideal way to use up leftovers in the fridge!
Peaches n' Cream Smoothies
Simply add ice, peaches, nonfat plain yogurt, half and half, banana, and honey and mix in your blender.
Garnish with a peach slice of course.
We've taken them out of the can baby.
From Presidents of the United States of America band's song:
"Movin' to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way I'd eat peaches everyday
Millions of peaches, peaches for me."

LOVE that silly song! My boys used to sing it all the time...
And we LOVE peaches around here. There is nothing better than peach jam..cobbler...cake...pie
...and even peach MUFFINS! I'm going to try these cupcakes/mini cakes this weekend, when the guys and their wives come over (a new Sunday "tradition"...so says our youngest).
(I was so touched that Chris commented on my post. He's quite a guy!)
Hugs,

Summer will be here in Australia soon and I will definitely be making some of these treats as soon as the peaches are in season! Great post!
I see you are a pinterest fan like me! I have just started a new link up dedicated to pinterest and music. This post would be so perfect to link up. If you have a moment I'd love it if you could stop by and check it out!
Best wishes and happy weekend!

I must make those cupcakes immediately!
Love the song:) Those cupcakes look amazing! I love fresh peaches but we only seem to get really good ones about once a year down here!
Those look crazy delish! I would love to try those cupcakes.
Grilled peaches are one of my favorites! Those cupcakes look totally amazing.
I've had this song in my head for a day and a half now! We hit the Lafayette Peach Festival this morning and I now have an 18# box of Morton's peaches to work with.
Thanks for the inspiration! The pictures, as always, are beautiful!

I have been meaning to comment on this post for a few days. Mainly I would like to request more peach crepes, and grilled peaches with basil and swiss. It amazes me how many yummy things my wife can do with peaches!
My husband just bought $12 worth of local peaches from a roadside stand and I have a new post being published on my blog on the 25th about it. I can't believe how similar our posts will be! So funny! And yes, I have that song stuck in my head tonight too because I typed up the post.
I am visiting from WFMW. It is nice to "meet" you. I hope you have a great week.
Blessings,
LaVonne @ Long Wait For Isabella

Well, I see you get lots of comment love!! I just wanted to say Beautiful pics! I've been living on peach smoothies lately- And I hate to admit it but, I'm old enough to have heard the singer of the band say "we have a new song we'd like to play for you tonight. Called peaches." Yep that dates me. ;) Jessica @ paintinmyhair.blogspot.com
