Happy National Peach Month! Taste and Savor's Chef Nancy Waldeck shared a few quick and healthy recipes on Atlanta & Company:
Peach BBQ Sauce
- 1 TB Olive Oil

What to drink with Peaches?
Pinot Gris from Oregon is a perfect match. Fruit-forward and juicy with the flavors of peaches and apricots, it’s the perfect partner with light summer fare like fish off the grill with the peach BBQ sauce or the yummy peach and avocado salsa bowl. It’s made with the same grape as the more well-known pinot grigio from Italy, pinot gris is typically softer, lighter and more fruit-forward. Cheers to SUMMER!
