Cinnamon Peach Bread

 

Cinnamon Peach Bread

It was hard to get a good picture of this bread! I had bought a bag of peaches and a bag of nectarines that were super rock hard, ripe for like 2 days max then started to turn. So I needed to find a recipe that used up a lot. I used both nectarines and peaches in this bread, and I didn't peel them because it was a pain and was just squishing. I also added a little bit of Truvia brown sugar to the batter. Instead of the glaze I just sprinkled on a combo of sugar/cinnamon/Truvia brown sugar. A glaze would have been good too though! I was just impatient.

We loved it, my youngest wouldn't try it. I'd definitely make them again, they were super moist and flavorful. I tried telling my youngest that it's just like banana bread (which he loves) but for some reason he's weirded out with cooking with fruit.

Hello Fresh Chicken Thyme with Zucchini Couscous

 

Hello Fresh Chicken Thyme with Zucchini Couscous

Hello Fresh sent some good coupons and I really needed a break from meal planning so I decided to resubscribe for a week. I know generally meal services like this are super expensive, but when they have good coupons it's 100% worth it. You don't have to find recipes, grocery shop....nothing. They send what you need and you don't have to think lol. Plus it's a good way to try new things you might normally try. We are pretty adventurous but there are recipes I would never normally choose so that's fun.

This was SUPER good! One of my top fav Hello Fresh recipes now. It made a lot of couscous but the chicken portions were kinda small, so I was worried it wouldn't be enough for my husband and teenager. We have a loaf of rosemary sourdough that I toasted with butter, garlic and parm for some garlic bread. It's perfect. The freshness of the lemon with the zucchini is so good. It actually called for way more lemon zest and lemon juice then I added, I thought it was plenty....maybe they gave us big lemons. The sauce/gravy is DELICIOUS, like I need to recreate it even without a subscription.
