Honey Peach Salad

This might look very unusual and maybe sound really different, but I promise you I don't put anything on here that I don't like! In fact, this is AHH-MA-ZING!

HONEY PEACH SALAD

4 peaches, diced (peeled is optional)
1 tblsp honey
2 oz Chevre- fresh goat cheese, honey flavored
6-7 leaves fresh basil

• Dice the peaches and put into medium bowl. Drizzle honey over top and gentle stir to combine.
• Slice the basil leaves into small pieces or strips. Put into bowl with peaches, stirring again.
• Crumble cheese over top, gently stir until just combined. (Make sure the goat cheese stays really cold, its easier to crumble)
• Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Mint Julep Cupcakes

In honor of the Kentucky Derby today, I'm flash thing back to an amazing event I had...the Tea Party! I made all sort of treats, but the biggest hit was the "Mint Julep Cupcakes" that I made into cake pops.



I got the recipe from "A Latte' with Ott, A" and miniaturized it! I could eat these all day...in fact, I think I'm going to make them again....

I also made these Bourbon Grapes with Goat Chese...WOW!



These are pretty much green grapes soaked in bourbon over night, then roll balls of goat cheese in chopped pecans and put them on a toothpick. Easy, and what a hit!

This is the spread from that day...its really making me want to have another one....uh oh...hahaha
