The peaches I have had this year have been absolutely amazing. I love the fresh, sweet, juicy flavor of a ripe peach that isn't spoiled by a mealy texture when you take a bite! Since the peaches had been so good this year, I decided to try my hand at grilling them! These Grilled Peaches with Agave Lime Cream were the perfect dinner treat for us last week.
Of course, me being the blueberry fan that I am, there was no way I was going to have a peach without incorparting some blueberries into the picture also! The cardamon, agave, butter glaze that coated these peaches is the perfect combination to glaze the peach and the tangy lime yogurt drizzle made this a perfect bite, that I did not want to stop biting!
For me, this wasn't just dessert. It was dinner and dessert 🙂 Grumpy was out of town for the night so it was just me for dinner and when it is just me, well, then I can do whatever I want, right? I even went so far as to take the leftovers and had them for breakfast the next day, they were so good!
Since I am eating low carb (and doing quite well by the way!) I decided to cut the honey out of the picture and use Agave. The original recipe called for half and half to mix in with the yogurt, but lime juice seemed very appealing to me so I used that instead. The yogurt topping was so good, I could have drank a full glass of it, seriously!

This looks so yummy! We just moved into a new house and we're pretty sure the trees in the front are peach trees. We're excited to see if anything comes of it this year, and we'll give this a try!

Peaches are now on my shopping list, can't wait to try these this weekend. I have yet to try agave, I need to give it a try.
