Peaches and cherries are now in season. They are so delicious, juicy, sweet and really cheap in supermarkets too, so I thought I must make a recipe with nature’s candies 🙂 Today’s recipe is a clean eating peach and cherry bake which just whispers, “Seize the summer” like nothing else!
I also took this clean eating peach and cherry bake to enjoy after lunch, and to share with the family for breakfast. The bake got a few “um” and “oooh” noises which I take as positive feedback. Do let me know if you would be interested in a post about how to stay clean while camping, I think I might have some good tips and ideas for you.
Here is the clean eating peach and cherry bake recipe

I have truly fallen in love with this light, slightly zesty, clean eating peach and cherry bake recipe and I hope you will too. I actually have another one in the oven as we speak, but this time I am using rhubarb and blackberries picked from the park behind our house!

This sounds awesome. Would regular eggs work instead of flax eggs?
