ich in Vitamin A, C, E, and K, peaches are loaded with antioxidants and have some incredible health benefits! Peaches may help support healthy eyes, treat stomach disorders, help the body destroy skin infections, help maintain a healthy blood pressure (as they are rich in potassium), improve heart health, and they even include many anticancer properties - who wouldn’t want to include them in their summer party dish??

Her incredible peach recipes range from delectable desserts, flavorful salads to some irresistible main course meals (for the meat lovers).
