Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Drizzled with Honey

I don't want to talk about dinner today, because grilled peaches are on my mind.  This has become one of my favorite treats and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.  If you've never had grilled peaches, you will be pleasantly surprised.  Grilling them makes them warm and soft and extra sweet. Paired with your favorite vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled with honey, seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, they deserve a standing ovation!  I am always left wanting more!

I live in a small apartment in Chicago and don't have the luxury of an outdoor grill, but feel free to take advantage of yours!  I have a grill top that I place on my gas stove and that works great too!
