Good Morning, fellow long weekend-ers!!!
It’s another short post, as I am continuing to enjoy the long weekend. And I have the sunburn to prove it. Terrible, I know.
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback to my new Fitness page! I’m excited about continuing to grow/improve it.
As for my mystery lunch… it was a (Georgia) Peach Caprese!
Peaches are in season now and I’ve had great luck finding perfect ones at local farmer’s markets. Try subbing them for tomatoes in other dishes too – they are delicious in sandwiches (with parm and prosciutto), salads (with blue cheese and arugula), or even in salsa (with cilantro, onion, and mango)!
Check out my guest post @ The Athlete’s Plate for a riveting write up. Thanks again to Matt for asking me to be his guest!
Peach Caprese Salad
- 1 medium ball of Mozzarella di Bufala
- 1 large peach 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 1 tsp high-quality olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Slice mozzarella into 1/4 inch rounds. Peel peaches and slice those into similar sized rounds. Chiffonade (chiffonade = stack basil in a small pile and roll into a cigar-like shape then slice into ribbons) the basil using a sharp knife (a clean cut helps prevent the leaves from darkening).
Layer the mozzarella and peach slices on a plate and sprinkle the basil over the top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
Note: You can also drizzle them with a balsamic reduction, which is what I did here.

I’m off to run up a mountain before hitting up some festivals. Good times.
Do you keep up with workouts over holidays or call it a total vaca?
That peach caprese salad looks delish! On vacations, I try not to over commit myself so I can still feel rested when it is over! (While trying to do some fun things, as well)
I totally need to make this 🙂
I bought some peaches yesterday but they aren’t ripe yet. The internet tells me that they’ll ripen if I leave them in a paper bag so hopefully.
If you are going to the Dectaur Arts fest, text me. I’m actually meeting up with Alayna there.
True story. That also works for avocados!
Oh wow! This looks amazing – I love the combo of flavors and textures. 🙂 YUM!
Oh boy.. sunburn! I am soo happy peaches and just fruit in general is in season right now 😀
For vacations I just do what I feel like doing for that day! Well.. it will be different this year since I have to follow the cross country’s training plan.. ugh LOL.
Hope the festivals were fun !
Oh my! I will so be keeping this recipe on hand for the second peach season arrives around here!!
This is super creative! I def. want to try it! On vaca, I like to ‘sneak’ fitness in… Like lots of dancing. Or walking tours of new cities, etc.!
