Peach Tahini Cardamom Oatmeal with Toasted Coconut
Every summer, I try to post a recipe or two with fresh peaches. They have such a short season, and they’re so good. This week, I came through. Whaddaya think?
Peach-Cherry Oatmeal with Avocado
Oatmeal with avocado? Sounds bizarre, I know. But I’ve done it before (Grapefruit Avocado Oatmeal) and I loved it. I’ve been plotting my next avocado recipe for years. Years!!!
Peach Rosemary Oatmeal
I’m desperately trying to enjoy as many peaches as possible this August. I just adore that flavor and allllll that delicious juice. And considering my never-ending obsession with rosemary, it just seemed like the perfect experiment.
My hypothesis was correct: peaches + rosemary = happiness.
10 Oatmeal Recipes to Celebrate National Peach Month
August is National Peach Month, oatmeal lovers! Did you know it’s my favorite fruit? It is. I mean, mango definitely gives it a run for its money, but as of now, peach still holds the key to my #1 spot. Therefore, I’m really freaking excited to celebrate August, the month of peaches, peaches, peaches. Here are ten of my best recipes featuring los duraznos!
Peach & Almond Butter Oatmeal
When I think about almond butter in oatmeal, I always think of this recipe. The entire combination is absolutely luscious, from the rich almond butter to the juicy peaches.
Peach Basil Oatmeal
Truthfully, I have wanted to make this recipe ever since I made my Strawberry Basil Oatmeal three years ago!! To celebrate the third birthday of that beautiful porridge (July 15, 2013), it seemed fitting to publish its peachy cousin. I think basil pairs well with most fruits, but strawberry and peach are probably my favorite candidates. If you’ve yet to try herbs in non-savory recipes, you are missing out on a whole category of DELICIOUS.
Peach Poppy Seed Overnight Oatmeal
I know. . . I’ve been pumping out a lot of “fancy” recipes lately. Everything involves blenders or fancy equipment or annoying cooking techniques or expensive ingredients.
But this one’s simple. Super simple.
The beauty behind a recipe like this is that you can top it with anything. Sure, I kept it basic for the photoshoot, but a humble peach + poppy seed base allows for a multitude of unique toppings. So often I resort to my banana base, but here is another base that is equally adaptive. (more…)
Spiced Peach & Dragon Fruit Oatmeal
Dragon fruit! Cross this one off my list of fruits I’ve never tried. I decided recently I wanted to buy one after seeing Dani and Sophie posting pictures of them on Instagram all the time.
I’m unfortunately going through “empty out the fridge!!!” mode again; it seems like I was doing that just a couple weeks ago. (Because I was.) Before, it was because of my move to Brooklyn. Now it’s because of my trip(s) to Minnesota, Seattle, and Vancouver. To those of you who follow me on Instagram, be prepared for excessive photos. Traveling makes me camera happy.
Anyway, I wasn’t sure what to pair the dragon fruit with. I didn’t even know what it tasted like! Not wanting to purchase more produce, I considered the options that were already available in my (UNREASONABLY SMALL) Brooklyn fridge: apples, grapefruit, banana, and peaches.
If you don’t know which one I chose, you should probably go back and read the title of the post.

Apricot Cardamom Oatmeal
Remember my angst against apricots?? How they are basically just wannabe peaches? Well, I have discovered one perk they have over peaches: they have a more powerful flavor than peaches, making them more enjoyable in oatmeal. Peaches tend to “disappear” when mixed into oatmeal, but apricots are still pretty in-your-face.
As a result, I used apricots for this recipe even though I originally envisioned it with peaches. Of course, you could use either.
Peach Almond Oatmeal with Pomegranates
Mmkay. Time to be vulnerable.
I’ve been somber lately. Maybe even a little hopeless.
My apartment does not offer great lighting. My window faces almost directly south, meaning the sun never fully shines inside, despite our big windows. I cannot take pictures outside without walking straight onto the bustling sidewalks of New York and lookin’ like a fool. I try taking pictures near my bedroom window during the brightest time of the day, but they still turn out grainy and discolored.
I have a pretty great camera (the top-rated point-and-shoot on the market), but it functions best in natural lighting. It’s not ready for indoor, dimly-lit food photography. Having just signed a lease on my first how-the-heck-does-it-possibly-cost-this-much NYC apartment, I can’t even fathom buying a fancy camera at this point.
Peach Banana Muesli
Week 6 of not having a stove. ?
It’s becoming painful, yo. When so much of your happiness relies on your ability to cook and prepare food, not having a functioning stove is a terrible blow. We’ve been dealing with our electronic company for weeks trying to convince them to turn on our gas. Every time, it’s “You need to do X.” So then we do X. We wait. We call back. They say, “You did X, but you still need to do Y.” We say, “You never told us that, but okay.” We do Y. We wait. We call back. Etc.
FOR SIX WEEKS. ??
