Grilled Peach & Sweet Corn Summer Grain Bowls

Summer always seems like it's slipping by in a hurry when it's here... And these grilled peach & sweet corn summer grain bowls help keep me going.

All the good things about summer...

While summer is here, I always want to make the most of all the summertime foods. 

That includes peaches, sweet corn, sweet and tart cherries, melons, berries, cucumber, zucchini and summer squash, tomatoes, and the like. 

For several years we had a garden and I could pick most of those things in my backyard, but since moving into our new house it hasn't been on our radar to build a garden until next summer (again, whahhhh!), but I did have a blast picking out some of those goodies at the farmer's market last weekend. 

I wanted to create something really fresh, bright and beautiful, which is what led me to these Grilled Peach & Sweet Corn Summer Grain Bowls. 

Just the name gets me super excited.

What goes in a summer grain bowl?

You can basically put whatever summer yummies you want in these bowls, but here is what I chose:

• Juicy grilled peaches and sweet corn
• Tender gilled chicken
• Sweet cherries
• Creamy avocado
• Chewy wheat berries
• The best basil vinaigrette
• A handful of greens or herbs

I just went for what was freshest and sprawling at the market and tossed it on the grill for that lovely charred and caramelized flavor + some protein to make it a meal + avocado because it goes on almost everything + some chewy ancient grains as the base + all the basil whirled with olive oil, Dijon, white wine vinegar and honey to bring it all together. 

I honestly can't think of anything more summery at this moment because it's allll in this one bowl.

And it's delicious.

Also, these bowls make the best meal prep lunches for the week because they're fantastic chilled. 

Raise your hand if you're up for it?!
