Who else was complaining about how cold winter was and now find themselves complaining about how hot it is? I’m guilty. This heat been extreme and it’s not even summer yet. So how do we beat this 90 degree spring heat? One of my yummy recipes, Peach Melba to be exact! What’s a Peach Melba? A French dessert that includes vanilla ice cream accompanied by candied peaches and a raspberry sauce. Peaches are definitely in season right now so this is a perfect excuse to go to the market and get a few juicy peaches. I made this with my homemade vanilla ice cream. A simple, vibrant, cold dessert to make.
