Peach s'mores and more

Blink. Summer over.

Hard to believe yesterday was the first day of school for little kiddies all over - I feel like summer just started!
Some folks say time goes by faster as you grow older but I like to think that the past three months have flown by because I have been busy with plans every weekend (and I mean every, single weekend).

But with summer's end comes the start of harvest season which is always something to look forward to. Peach season has hit Ontario and I can't seem to get enough of them. Peach pie is a classic but this summer I'm loving these new peach recipes.

A friend suggested I add peaches to my Labour Day weekend s'mores. They were delightful and a bright twist on a classic cottage snack.

Peach S'mores or S'meachUms

What you need:
Favourite graham crackers
Giant puffy marshmallows
Favourite form of chocolate - I used Lindt 70% Dark and Cadbury Caramilk
Fresh peaches, cut into slices
Bon fire or candle if you're desperate to try these (which you should be)
A trust roasting stick
Napkins for your sticky face
Friends to share with

What you do:
Roast marshmallow and peach over open flame until your desired doneness.
Assemble in this order - graham cracker, chocolate piece, marshmallow, peach slice, graham cracker.
Squish together.
Eat. Enjoy.
Repeat.

I also came across this little recipe from The Kitchy Kitchen that added peaches to a sandwich. I made a few of my own tweaks and voila!

Peach & Prosciutto Sammy

What you need for one Sammy:
2 slices of your favourite bread - I used marble rye but would suggest a sturdier bread.
2 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp Siracha
2 pieces Prosciutto - crispy
Half avocado - sliced
Half a fresh peach - sliced
Few slices of red onion

 What you do:
Throw your oven on to 350-375F. Put your prosciutto on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
Toast your bread.
Slather the bread with mayo and siracha.
Top bread with one slice of prosciutto, avocado, peaches, onion, second piece of prosciutto, and close the sammy with your second piece of bread.
Slice. Eat. Enjoy

I'm making this into a salad version for lunch, sans bread (obviously) with a new honey mustard salad dress I'm trying out. Just can't get enough of the fresh peaches! And basically anything with that sweet & salty combo.

P.S. Did I mention I sometime break into hives and my throat gets itchy from peaches? That's how into them I am right now. I don't care and just pop my allergy pills and savour that end of summer flavour.
