Peach and Mint Einkorn Scones for a Biscuit Benedict

I am obsessed with peaches this Summer! I am hoarding them every week from my farmers' market. I think they are particularly delicious this year! Both the white and yellow varieties. I think I am going to call it... 2015 is the year of Peaches! WOOT

Sumac and Mint Marinated Goat's Cheese

For me Summer heralds a not-so-subtle switch in lifestyle. Outdoor fun, roof top gatherings, long long days for long long amusements, days when you can be dine with work and still have time to play in the light! More, importantly though, this is season, I become more vegetable focuses, swept away by the abundance of variety and richness of flavor that marks this season.

I also start my herb garden and distinctly look forward to using as much of it as possible. The sweet distinct aromas that simply make the dish from ordinary to elegant. This is my joy.

Today's recipe was one such inspiration I stumbled upon through Jul's blog. As you can see from her and my creations, it is an all weather recipe using the best herbs of the season. However, the line that struck a chord with me was that the flavors of fresh goat cheese is akin to lamb. In fact, that is why it makes so much sense to pair them as is often done.
