Crunchy and Peachy Greek Yogurt



There is something about a good walk that lifts the spirits like nothing else. I am blessed enough--spoiled enough--to have spectacular mountain views and eucalyptus trees lining the residential streets behind my building. I take advantage of these streets almost daily--striking out from the whitewashed walls and stress to be alone and calm my spirit. Which is why on a random afternoon walk at work, I was surprised to see two men in business suits emerge from behind a building, arms laden with peaches.

In my office community in Burbank, odd sites are a rarity--unless you count badly dressed tourists who must take 500 million pics with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, or girls with far too many tattoos. I (without dignity) cautiously walked into the wilderness--um, building foliage--where they just came from. Sure enough, there was a peach tree.

Plucking one ripe, fuzzy fruit, I eagerly smelled it to see if it smelled as good as it looked--and I tell you, visions of peach cobbler were dancing in my head. The possibilities were endless.

After going home, I settled for something a little simpler and a heck of a lot quicker--a crunchy Greek yogurt recipe, drizzled with brown sugar with peaches on top. It was a perfect 9 p.m. dinner.

Crunch and Peachy Greek Yogurt
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup walnut
1 peach

1. Instructions are easy.
2. Cut the peach into eighths and set aside.
3. Add the honey to the yogurt, then add nuts.
4. Arrange the peach pieces however you like.
5. Sprinkle brown sugar on top.
6. Enjoy!
