Sheena's Corner

Lately my sweet tooth has been acting up. I've been craving for some kind of dessert the past couple of days. Of course, I've turned to buying some fruit to fill the craving but since the holidays are just around the corner. I'm sure you all will be attending a couple, if not few, holiday parties. Nate suggested a simple fruit salad to fulfill a sweet craving but why not throw something together to share at those holiday parties? Here is a recipe swiped from Paleo Food Recipes on how to make a "healthy" peach cake...... ok, it's not cake but that's the name of it. No baking required!

Paradise Peach Cake
-------------------
1/2 cup pecans
5 peaches
1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
3/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
2/3 cup pitted soft dates, such as Med-Jool
11/2 cup fresh berries for garnish 
1 (9") Almond-Pecan Pie Crust 

**Almond-Pecan Pie Crust

1 cup almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1/3 cup chopped pitted soft dates
3 tablespoons water
-- instructions for pie crust here

Instructions

In a small bowl, cover pecans with water and soak for 8 to 12 hours.  
Drain and rinse. Set aside.  
Peel and halve peaches, reserving skin.  
Remove pit and thinly slice flesh. Set aside.  
In a food processor or blender, blend peach skin with pecans, dried and fresh pineapple,spices and dates.  
In pie shell, layer 1/2 of peach slices in a fanned spiral (optional).  
Evenly spread 1/2 of pineapple mixture over peach slices.  
Repeat with remaining peach slices and pineapple mixture.  
Garnish with fresh berries of your choice.  
Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.  

Maybe I'll try this to bring for the upcoming FCF Holiday Party on Saturday, January 2nd. Hope everyone is holding up with the Stay Right Through Winter Challenge so far. Keep up the great work! :)
