Spiced Mahi Mahi With Carolina Peach Salsa

North Carolina Peaches are one of the best things about summer. For just a short time - from around the first of June, through most of August, North Carolina peaches are available.

The other night, I wanted to take advantage of this while also getting my two year old to try some different foods. He's just grown a bit too fond of "mac n cheese" and tater tots!

I also wanted to post this recipe for one Mrs. Brown who frequents the restaurant. Her son and his wife came in the other night, and he told me how highly she spoke of me and reads this blog. So thank you Mrs. Brown, and I hope you will try and enjoy this recipe as much as my family did!!
