There’s nothing more delicious than a sweet Georgia peach. With so many ways to enjoy this delectable summer stone fruit, it can be hard to know which ones to prioritize trying. We thought we’d give you our top five ways to enjoy peaches this season.
In our senior retirement communities in Georgia, we have an incredible team of chefs who create amazing meals for our residents all year round. With a menu that adheres to the MIND diet, your loved one can enjoy healthy and tasty meals and snacks 24/7. For those looking to treat their loved ones to a special recipe, we recommend these dishes below!
There’s something really special about the combo of juicy peaches and fresh, creamy burrata. Burrata is a soft cheese closely related to mozzarella, but stuffed with gooey cream. Combining fresh peach slices, basil, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction, and a big ball of salty burrata cheese is the easiest way to enjoy this summer salad. For added flavor, don’t be afraid to add some sea salt flakes, quickly sauteed minced garlic, or even a spoonful of local honey. Get creative and enjoy!
This super simple granita recipe from Martha Stewart can be whipped up in a jiffy, and then fluffed every hour for a couple hours. Easy to make with only a handful of ingredients including pureed peaches, water, sugar, lemon juice, and coarse sea salt, this recipe is a treat that everyone can enjoy. For a twist, consider adding a little chopped basil, fresh cherries, or top with grilled plums!
These summer rolls are a unique and different way to enjoy succulent Georgia peaches! From the Love and Lemons blog, this recipe includes cucumber, mint, fresh peaches, watermelon radishes, coconut basil sauce, tofu, rice noodles, and of course, avocado. A fun recipe to make with loved ones, we suggest making an afternoon out of prepping ingredients and hand rolling these tasty snacks!
When the grill comes out, so should the peaches! Epicurious’s pesto grilled chicken and peaches recipe is one you will keep coming back to summer after summer. The classic pairings of pesto and chicken, and basil and peaches, all come together to create one super dish with unbeatable flavor! While you can purchase store made pesto, we love how simple it is to make at home! We recommend this NYT Cooking recipe for an easy and quick pesto. If you or your loved one is allergic to pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts, pistachios, or even sunflower seeds! Grilling the peaches ignites the juices and brings a smoky char to the dish that makes it mouthwateringly good!
We can’t make a list about peaches without including the classic Italian bellini! This mocktail version of the summer cocktail makes the most of peach flavor with pureed peaches, sparkling cider, and tart raspberries. Garnished with a sprig of mint and you have a refreshing summer mocktail that will be gone faster than you can say “Ciao bella!”
With summer in full swing, we know peach season is almost over. What better way to celebrate the state fruit than with a new recipe? If you try some or all of these recipes, let us know which is your favorite!

Last month, chefs from across Sunshine Retirement Living came together for our annual Chef Conference to cook, learn, and connect with the people who make our culinary teams so special. 💛
From plate presentation and photo-ready dishes to collaboration and leadership, our chefs shared their knowledge and learned from one another. Together, they explored their own “culinary DNA” and reflected on what it means to truly listen to the teams they lead.
Beyond the presentations, there was time to cook side by side, exchange ideas, welcome new chefs, and catch up on life outside the kitchen. Those moments matter. They’re how colleagues across the country become the Sunshine family.
A special thank-you to Spencer Guzman, PhD, MBA,CEC, who leads our Sunshine chefs nationwide, for the hard work, care, and inspiration behind this year’s conference.
And to every chef who attended, presented, cooked, or shared an idea, thank you for making this gathering what it was. Whether you’re new to Sunshine or have been with us for years, your experience, creativity, and dedication make our entire team stronger.
At the heart of it all are our residents. What we learn together comes back to their tables through the meals we prepare and the care we put into every dining experience.
That’s the Sunshine difference.
