Snack Attack: Yummy Yogurt Parfaits

YogurtparfaitWe often enjoy yogurt and muesli as a snack at home, so these will be making their way into my kindergartner's lunch this fall. The best part is: she can make this herself with a little guidance.

Yummy Yogurt Parfaits

  • 2 cups low fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 small apple grated (a box grater is fine for this)
  • chopped fresh fruit or whole berries
  • slivered dried apricots, peaches, pineapple
  • your favorite granola or muesli

Combine yogurt with grated apple and set aside.

Start with a handful of granola in the bottom of a wide-mouthed, short glass. Then let kids layer in yogurt-apple mixture and fruit followed by more granola and so on until glass is full. Serve at once or, to take with you, make the parfaits in a sealable plastic container.

Those look prettier than ours, but Izzy has been having yogurt with frozen berries this entire past school year. That had been his daily dessert until the summer, when he somehow decided he didn't want it anymore..I am at a loss for a replacement.

Gorgeous photo!

Can you please, please, pretty please tell me where I can get Greek yogurt?? I had some on the island of Crete several years back and haven't been able to find it in the states since. Thanks!!

Cooking Gear To Spice Things Up

  • All-Clad cookware
    I use the stainless line. I love it because you can put it in the dishwasher. If you like to cook it is sooo worth it to have quality pots and pans. I recommend buying a set on sale and then filling in extras as you need them. (Watch for sales and specials.)
  • Cast Iron Skillet
    Please get rid of all your teflon-coated non-stick plans and get a cast iron skillet. I use mine for searing meat, poultry, and fish and then finishing off in the oven. In fact, get two cast iron skillets—one large enough to hold two ribeyes and a smaller, fried-egg-sized one for making...well...eggs.
  • Food Processor
    Quickly slice/shred veggies and cheese, make hummus or other spreads in a snap, and make pie crust without making a mess.
  • Global Knives
    I am partial to the 18 incher. Yep, I like big knives and I cannot lie. If you like to cook (or even if you don't) you deserve to have good knives. At least one.
  • Instant Hot Water Dispenser
    If you can't afford to have one built-in, this is a great alternative. It's nice to have boiling water at the push of a button to make tea, instant miso soup, or morning oatmeal for the kidlets.
  • Microplane Grater/Zester
    Use this to grate citrus zest, nutmeg, and cheese. You could get a coarser one, but you don't need to. I have one and I use it for everything.
  • Penzey's Spices
    A great resource for all your herb and spice needs.
  • Rice Cooker
    Every family should have one.
  • Silpat
    Silpat is a silicone mat used for baking. They come in various sizes. Items will not stick to it. It is a must for any home baker.
  • Stick or Immersion Blender
    It doesn't have to be fancy, but try and get the highest HP you can afford. I use my stick blender (+ attachments) for making salad dressing (weekly), pureeing soups, making babyfood, and whipping cream.
