Peaches & Beaches / mini vegan peach cobblers

 

Frankly I don’t know how you could miss this summer sun. I can’t really see it right now from inside my office but I can feel it reaching down with those wiggly heat wave arms to try to coax me outside. 

Living in Southern California, I almost feel guilty if my weekends aren’t spent laying on the sand or playing in the waves. Summer also marks the epic return of stone fruits! Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums! 

 

My sweet, sweet babies! Oh how I’ve missed you! 

So in the spirit of sun, surf and stone fruits, let’s kick this Saturday off right with a portable version of a summertime favorite!
