As you’ll remember, I recently welcomed the season and celebrated a local Georgia flavor with Williams Sonoma and my Creamed Vidalia Onion Bake.  And today I’m reveling in another local flavor, Georga peaches. 

Similar to the vidalia onion bake, this peach tart recipe is incredibly easy to make, and you just can’t beat the mixture of these simple, yet rich flavors.  The sweet peach plays perfectly with the tangy flavor of goat cheese, warm cinnamon, subtle crunch of pistachio and the sticky-sweet honey drizzle on top.  And since I’m big on texture and getting that perfect crispy bite, I take my time when thinly slicing the peaches ensuring the peaches will bake evenly while still maintaining a heavenly-thin crisp crust.

So voila, a oohy-gooey-crispy-peachy treat.  The perfect recipe to reval and enjoy your love of peaches far beyond the summer season.  But be forewarned: these little slices disappear faster than you expect. Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

  7. Crumble goat cheese on the dough and line peaches on top of the cheese in a row.
  8. Bake until crust is golden brown approximately 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining honey. Let cool to room temperature, sprinkle with pistachios and serve.

Spiced Apple and Pear Crisp recipe, Waiting on MarthaA Healthy Apple Crisp with Hearty Pear and Nourish Snacks for the Crunch! | Waiting on Martha

As the temps begin to drop, and Fall quickly approaches, I remember just how much I look forward to and cherish this time of year.  The crisp Fall air, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice everything…the warmth of this season is hard for anyone to ignore.  And along with all of the warmth are flavors that truly embody Fall for me, and topping that list of course, is apple. Growing up, my mom made the best homemade apple crisp, and it only seems appropriate that I welcome my favorite season with a take on my favorite childhood treat. 

While mom’s classic apple crisp never included pear, it’s always nice to switch things up and offer a different take on a classic.  Enter pear.  I’ve always loved pear’s hearty and dense texture and combined with my beloved apples and seven different spices, including cayenne and fresh vanilla bean, this crisp truly brings all the warmth that fall encompasses.  And I mean, how precious is an apple crisp in an apple dish?!?!

Now I did mention this recipe is a healthy spiced pear and apple crisp.  Instead of your typical flour-based and sugary topping I utilized the crunch of Nourish Snacks without the calories of a typical crisp.  You may remember I’ve subbed out ingredients for Nourish’s gluten-free, non GMO, snacks before (our Super Simple Cocoa & Fruit Parfaits are a must-try!), and for this particular recipe the combination of Nourish’s Apple Cinn-sational and Berry’d Treasure completely compliment the crisp and provide that crunch I crave.  And let us not forget, by taking the healthy topping route it allows us to splurge on the vanilla bean ice cream that every crisp really deserves.  So tell me, how will you be welcoming Fall this year?  Truly, MKR

Homemade blueberry hand pies recipe How to make homemade blueberry handpiesBlueberry hand pie recipe

The perfect sized sweet treat, this mini blueberry pie recipe deserves a spot at your next summer soiree or picnic in the park.  I’ve shared my love for hand pies before (a peach rendition and strawberry rendition), and I always consider them my go-to for an easy, delicious dessert.

So with blueberry season in full swing, I’ll be celebrating one of my favorite summer flavors. These blueberry hand pies with lemon blueberry glaze include a fresh blueberry purée and that homemade, buttery crust that you just can’t beat. And since the lemon blueberry glaze is so sweet, there’s very little sugar in the actual hand pies (my cue for enjoying more than a few). 

The hand pie recipe is super simple, but there’s one key thing to remember: keep the crust thin to avoid overpowering the filling’s flavor.  You want a good crust-to-filling ratio after all.  Tell me, will you be enjoying this delightful summer dessert soon?  Truly, MKR
