Have you ever been in a “food rut?” Like, oats for breakie, sandwich for lunch, pasta for din…rinse and repeat. If you’re lucky you’ll mix up the snack. Either an RX bar or a Larabar…getting real original aren’t we?

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

But food is too fun to be boring! There are SO many options out there, and limited stomach space. So let’s take advantage.

Sometimes all you need to mix things up is to PLAY with your food. Ya, like you’re three years old. Cause we all are at heart.

In the case of this Peachy Caprese Stack, we’re taking full advantage of the playing-with-your-food-thing. We’re building beautiful towers of green, white and orange. It’s like a rainbow tower that tastes good. Like, really good. (Especially when you start drizzling that delicious goo all over it. A.K.A. balsamic reduction).

Sure, these aren’t your traditional “caprese salad” ingredients, but remember, we’re mixing things up. And when you have all these amazing, fresh peaches from your local fruit stand, you need to take advantage.

So here’s to playing with your food. And to being three again.
