A yummy parfait (try it today!)..

Ok, I'll admit it. I'm a sweet freak. No ifs, ands or buts about it. I love my sweet stuff-- Specially when it comes to chocolate!! From time to time i go on a sweet fast. As in no desserts, etc. To help me through this extremely ruff time- i indulge in parfaits. Ok, maybe i don't indulge, but i do eat one or so a day to help me survive..:) I know, this doesn't involve chocolate... so I'm slightly surprised i even get into it, but i do. I really, really do. :)

Here is how i make mine..

First off you have to make some granola.

Granola:

4 cups rolled oats

2 cups quick oats

3/4 cup wheat germ

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup coconut

1/2 cup oil

1/4 cup butter melted

1/2 cup honey

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup maple syrup

Mix dry ingredients together.

Mix the wet ingredients together and stir them into the dry ingredients. Spread out on cookie sheets and bake 30-45 minutes..stirring every 10 minutes.

Ok, so now you have your granola.. Now you also need to make sure you have some vanilla yogurt on hand. If you make your own, I look up to you. I want to be just like you when i grow up! :)

The last thing that isn't totally necessary, but makes it all the more tastier.. is some fresh fruit. Blueberries, strawberries, peaches, etc.

Arrange the 3 however you please.. And enjoy!

 

Hopefully it takes care of that craving you have for that chocolate cake, with chocolate pudding and heath bars that's in the fridge......Ha i wish! :)
