We’re teaming up with food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2011, a season-long garden party. In coming weeks, we’ll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you’re harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Today, we’re exploring peaches.
Peaches are finally in season, so get your hands on some while they last and enjoy them in as many ways as you can (but don’t forget to freeze some for the colder months!). Here are 8 healthy ways to eat the sweet stone fruits that you might not have thought of.

Mmm, love all the peach ideas. The French toast bake sounds delicious. My favorite way to use up lots of peaches is to make them into peach nectar, then freeze it in jars. It tastes like summer all year long, every time you pull out one of the jars. Thanks for the great peach roundup.
