I love to eat “clean” foods, especially in the morning, because they fill you with such wholesome energy. These banana muffins are completely vegan, and they are simply to die for. The peach adds a distinct summer flavor, but they would be great year-round! Add in different fruits to mix it up. They are beyond delicious – you won’t even miss the butter and eggs! Added bonus – they freeze and thaw really well. So you can save some for later!

Step One.
Prep step! Measure out your ingredients. Melt the coconut oil. Line a muffin tin with papers. Preheat your over to 350°F.
Step Two.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Cut up 3/4 of the peach into cubes, and slice the rest. Set the slices aside for later.
Step Three.
Add the brown sugar, honey, and coconut oil to the mashed banana, stir to combine.
Step Four.
In a separate bowl, mix the salt, baking powder, and cinnamon into the flours with a fork. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the almond milk. Finally stir in the peach chunks and pecans.
Step Five.
Fill the muffin papers and top each muffin with a slice of peach. Bake for 22 -25 minutes and enjoy!
Yield: a dozen muffins

I saw a picture on the internet recently that had replaced Mars’ solar ranking with Louisiana. If you’ve even been in the summer, you would agree that it can’t be too far off!
This cocktail is the perfect summer night (or morning, whatever) cool down. It combines sweet, ripe peaches with the earthy and robust taste of whiskey. You can sweeten it up or not all. You can choose a simple sparkling wine or a sweet champagne.
Cocktails technically have recipes, but I say go with whatever floats your boat – this is a suggestion that you can tweak to your heart’s content!
~~~~~~~~~~
Step One
Prepare your ingredients! Separate the mint, chop the peaches, cut a lemon, slice one for garnish, and get your alcohol nearby
Step Two
Put a few ice cubes in the bottom of the shaker. Add the peaches, mint, and juice of the lemon. Pour the amount of whiskey that is desired, and add any simple syrup that you would like.
Note: You’ll see from my picture that I chose a pretty cheap whiskey. I have acquired a “whiskey snob” taste from my family, but it’s not worth the cost when you’re mixing with flavors that will mask what makes expensive booze good. Save your money on this cocktail.
Step Three
Shake, shake, shake! Pro Tip: Cocktails mix best when you come up with a dance. 😉
Step Four
Pour the whiskey mix into a glass of choice (I used a white wine glass – a champagne flute would be much more classy). Fill the glass with your desired bubbly. Add garnishes of mint and peach.
Sip on the porch under a fan and laugh at the weather – it can’t rain on your parade with this drink in hand!
