My dear friend Jackie who moved to Hotlanta a few years back, posted this on Facebook the other day:

I’m in a serious cooking funk these days. So hard to get up the energy when it’s 95+ degrees out! What are you all cooking these days? (I mean other than fried eggs on sidewalks.)

I replied: grill, grill, grill.  Which is what I do when it’s toooo hot.  But then I realized that I’d never made a single breakfast on the grill.

The next morning, I woke up to 2 ripe peaches just begging to be used up before they went south.  So, I sliced the peaches into rings, put a pot of water up for oatmeal and fired up the grill.

I sprayed the peaches, grilled ‘em and when everything was done, I set up a make-your-own oatmeal bar.  The grilled peaches gave the oatmeal a sort of smokey flavor and made for a wonderful breakfast treat!!  Now I’m dying for more grill-able breakfast ideas.  Got any to share?

    Looks so yummy! A version with grilled pineapple and coconut would be delicious as well.
