Eating In: Grilled Fruit

This morning for breakfast I wanted a quick and sweet element to add to the usual bacon and eggs. Before I switched to the gluten-free life-style, I was whipping up a quick batch of pancakes. There are some gluten-free options for pancakes, but I didn't have any on hand this morning.

I search through the fridge to see what I can find. I found two nectarines that needed to be eaten soon. If you're like me, you get a little excited at the grocery store. I always buy way too much fresh produce. However, this buyer's remorse does lead to some wonderful and unique creations.

I racked my brain and remembered the yummy grilled bananas I had made for a dessert one night. That's it...grilled fruit with syrup drizzled on top!!



I grilled fruit variations before with honey drizzled on top too. However, I figured since it was breakfast, why not try the syrup. It was delicious! I felt like I was at IHOP ordering one of those stuffed fruit french toasts. I loved that this was a healthy low-carb alternative to the former breakfast I mentioned. I recommend you give it a try...try your favorite fruit! It doesn't hurt to try.  Once again this is boyfriend approved (non gluten-free eater). Possibilities are endless!!
