"Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall / If I can't have you all the time, I won't have none at all."

{"Wasted on the Wayside," Gillian Welch}

Summer is my favorite. I love the sun, the ocean, the late sunsets, the warm mornings, the barbecues, the bike-rides, the peaches. I adapted this recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow's It's All Good, which you should bring home immediately if you don't already have a copy. The recipes are clean, simple, and practical...and super delicious!

Ingredients

• 4 cups sliced fresh peaches

• 4 tablespoons maple syrup, divided

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 cup almond meal

• 1/2 cup quinoa flakes

• A pinch of fine sea salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Make

Preheat oven to 400°F

In a shallow baking dish, toss the peaches with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the lemon juice. In a   separate bowl, mix the almond meal, quinoa flakes, salt, and cinnamon. Add the olive oil and the 2 remaining tablespoons of maple syrup, and mix until just combined. Crumble the quinoa mixture over the peaches and bake until the topping is beginning to brown, which should take 20-25 minutes.
