by Miss Allie’s Kitchen
Allie and I clearly love peaches and this recipe speaks to my heart as the sweetest (and prettiest) paleo summer dessert around!

And if you aren’t concerned about keeping this paleo, I think a big scoop of vanilla ice cream to top might be necessary. Just sayin’.

Gimme all da brussels!! When I was feeling sick of my ‘norm’ aka balsamic roasted brussels sprouts, it was time to mix it up a bit, and add a little citrus flair.
