Roasted Peaches with Dulce de Leche and Roasted Walnuts

Time for another month of Secret Recipe Club!



















































This month I was assigned to Gloria's blog, Canela Kitchen. She lives in Chile and shares her recipes in both English and Spanish! She's been blogging for a long time so she had tons of delicious recipes to search through. Fall is quickly approaching, so her Pumpkin Ricotta Stuffed Shells were calling my name. We recently discovered our newfound love of zucchini so I'd love to try her Zucchini Lemon Cake! And I know her Chicken in Tarragon Sauce will grace our dinner tables here real soon.

 





















































But peaches. I couldn't resist peaches. It was a must that I make this recipe. Before all of those pretty peaches are gone!

We didn't peel our peaches but I think next time I'd prefer to do that. I'm weird about peels. And PJ isn't big on nuts (but he loved the little bit of crunch the toasted walnuts added!) so we used less. Use however much of each ingredient you like and you won't go wrong!


 
Roasted Peaches with Dulce de Leche and Roasted Walnuts
adapted from Canela Kitchen

*Yields: 2 servings
  • 2 peaches, peeled, halved and pitted
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
  • vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
  • dulce de leche, for topping (we used this kind in the squeezable bottle)
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place halved peaches, cut side up, on baking sheet with edges. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Roast for 25-30 minutes until peaches are soft.

Meanwhile, toast walnuts in remaining butter and brown sugar for 5 or more minutes, until walnuts begin to brown and are lightly toasted (you may want to stir them). Allow to cool.

Serve peaches with vanilla bean ice cream, dulce de leche topping, and toasted walnuts.

Sizzling CHA! French Onion Dip

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CHA! by Texas Pete for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sometimes when I just need to jazz up a recipe or snack, a little hot sauce is all that's needed. Texas Pete is great to use as an ingredient in recipes because of its taste and its texture. It’s not just a condiment; it’s an ingredient. Texas Pete hot sauces have been a staple on southern tables for decades and have been gaining popularity nationwide and in many other countries.

We all know about Texas Pete, but did you know about their newest product, CHA! by Texas Pete?

Texas Pete CHA! too is spreading across the country quickly. Though it was released less than a year ago, it can be found in many supermarkets nationwide. We found it at our local Kroger grocery store, but if you can't find it in your local stores, you can always buy it online at TexasPete.com.



I bought a bottle of their Original Hot Sauce along with their newest Texas Pete CHA! We made their Sizzling Cha! French Onion Dip and boy was it delicious! So easy since you use a french onion packet, and the Texas Pete CHA! adds a perfect amount of spicy. We dipped some tortillas and veggies in it and I've been snacking on it daily! The great thing is that I can easily whip up another batch so quickly and easily. Go find your fave Texas Pete CHA! recipes at CHAddiction.com.



We also made homemade sushi for the first time ever the other day, and used the Texas Pete CHA! with some mayo to make spicy mayo to top our sushi. See, it's great for all kinds of things!



They also have other products, such as their Hotter Hot Sauce, Garlic Hot Sauce, Chipotle Hot Sauce, and Green Pepper Sauce.

What are your favorite Recipes using CHA! by Texas Pete?? Which are you excited to try??


Peace, and bacon grease!
