5 Things to Know About Peaches

August 24, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

August 24th is National Peach Pie Day and to celebrate we thought we’d share five things to know about peaches (compliments of Foodimentary).

  1. Did you know?  Peaches were once known as Persian apples.
  2. “You’re a real peach” originated from the tradition of giving a peach to the friend you liked.
  3. Peaches were mentioned as early as 79 A.D. in literature.
  4. Most peaches are cultivated by grafting different combinations of rootstocks to scions; not raised from seed.
  5. There are over 700 varieties of peaches – some Chinese varieties are even flat like hockey pucks.

Who knew? Hope you indulge in a slice of peach pie or a glass of peach sweet (see Monday’s post) today!

Happy National Peach Pie Day!

Love,

National Sweet Tea Day

August 21, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

 

I’ve always believed a cold glass of sweet tea can make almost anything better. Down here in Texas, they say “our tea is sweet, our words are long, the days are warm and our faith is strong.” I couldn’t agree more! And since tomorrow is Eat a Peach Day (we have some fun peach-themed posts coming this week!) I thought it would be fun if we all made a pitcher of homemade Peach Sweet Tea. This recipe is so easy to make and we should all enjoy a glass before peach season comes to an end! Grab your cutest straws and I’ll see you by the pool.
