This citrus-filled dressing will keep you in summer for just a bit longer. The omega-3 -filled chia seeds add a nice bit of texture and thickness to the dressing.
I have been using Pomora Olive Oils for many months now. I am always excited to receive a shipment and I was super excited to receive some flavored oils in the mail! For this dressing I used the lemon-flavored oil. My hubby also loves the chili-flavored oil (yes it is spicy). If you haven't heard of them before, head on over to their website to check it out!

Summer is coming to an end... but it seems that stone fruit season is still in full swing! This is a delicious dessert that is beautiful and satisfying and includes fresh peaches- get them while you still can!
Honey and Walnut Ricotta-Stuffed Roasted Peaches Serves 2
1 large peach, pitted 1/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese 1 Tbsp crushed walnuts 1 tsp honey, divided Dash ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together ricotta, walnuts, and 1/2 tsp honey.
Use a sharp spoon or paring knife to create a deeper pit in the center of each peach. Spoon ricotta mixture into each pit.
Sprinkle each ricotta-stuffed half with ground cinnamon. Place the peaches on a baking sheet (may need to prop up with aluminum foil) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until peach is softened and filling is warm.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before drizzling with remaining 1/2 tsp honey and serving.
