For me the best thing about summer is the fresh produce.  From fruits to vegetables.  But I have to say Peaches are one of my favourites.  Especially when they are baked into something!

And did you know that today, August 22 is Eat a Peach Day?  Well it is,  and you could eat a raw Peach or you could make this delicious Almond Fresh Peach Bread and share.

This recipe calls for 2 Peaches, so you are going to need medium – large size peaches and make sure that they are ripe.  Don’t use hard peaches because you are going to want the moisture to help make the bread moist.

I decided to top this Fresh Peach Bread with slivered almonds rather than a frosting, because sometimes less is more!

To tell the truth I love the arrival of peaches not only because I adore peaches but because it also means the end of summer!

I usually spend the summer in Toronto in a nice air conditioned house but this year we came back early and yeah we suffered through the horrible hot Italian Summer.  I think the worst thing about the heat is the no sleeping during the night.

Thank goodness it has finally cooled down at night and sleeping is again possible.

So yes I say good bye to summer with this delicious Peach Bread and hello to everything Fall and Cool and of course Apples.  I hope everyone enjoys the remaining bit of Summer and is as excited as I am to see Fall!  Enjoy.
