What are you celebrating this month? This year, surprise and delight your guests by making a new dessert for the party. Food is an important part of all our special occasions, but that doesn’t mean health goes out the window! Ice cream is made over this week by pairing it with grilled peaches. By putting fruit on the grill, the heat will intensify the sweetness without any added sugar needed! Filling your bowl with this new sweet fruit treat means that ice cream portion will be smaller – and that’s a smart way to include an old favorite in a new way that makes better choices so delicious – and special enough to celebrate with.
