I know you've had 'puzzle gut'. Yes, that's the situation you're in when you want something to eat, but you don't know what you want to eat. Recently I was talking to my Chef friend, Steve of Chefster. How this topic came up, I can't remember. But, I do recall, he said that his young daughter came up with four questions to ask when you're in the 'puzzle gut' mode.
Do you want hot or cold?
Do you want sweet, savory, spicy of a combination of these?
Do you want a little or a lot?
How much time do you have?
I actually thought these were genius questions that help you get to the heart of the puzzle gut matter. And, I applied those questions to this recipe when I was creating it and in my puzzle gut mode. Yes, this 'peach caprese' is what I ended up with, and I must say, it is spectacular and satisfied my cravings plus filled my belly.
Since I totally love love the traditional tomato caprese, I knew I'd absolutely love swapping out the tomatoes for Dole Sunshine's sweet always perfect natural nothing there but the Mother Nature peach slices. It's a real creative change from tomatoes, brings on a slightly sweet touch, but still gives me the feeling of caprese on a grilled piece of artisan bread. Some may consider this a crostini, and that works, too. It's just so refreshing and tasty that you could serve this for dessert too. You might want to swap out the grilled bread for a slice of grilled pound cake!
Remember, next time you have puzzle gut. Ask yourself those four questions. You'll not be spinning in pandamonium, eating more than you should and still not be happy. You'll hone in on what you really want and beat that puzzle gut dilemma!
