Honey Yogurt Breakfast Parfait

This is one of the ways I have been trying to eat healthier this year
Honey Yogurt Breakfast Parfait
I've been trying to follow a healthier diet. I've been limiting portions and most importantly, sugar. So far, I've been feeling much better overall, though with maybe slightly less energy. I expect that will correct itself as I get used to eating less and eating healthier.

One of the ways I have set out this healthier diet is to make it more routine. I eat the same thing each
day for breakfast and snacks throughout the day. For breakfast, I have been sticking to yogurt parfait made of fresh fruit, yogurt, and honey.


The Tools

  • Mason Jar
  • Spoon

The Ingredients

  • Plain yogurt
  • Honey
  • Fresh Fruit

The Method

The night before, gather the fresh fruit and get it washed and cut up. At the bottom of the mason jar, add two or three large spoonfuls of yogurt. Add in about a tablespoon of honey. On top of that, add in your fruit. I have been sticking with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. In the morning, stir everything up and enjoy.

Happy eating!

Weekly Favorites 12/16/18 to 12/22/18

I took the holiday weekend off from the blog and spent some much needed time with the family. I'm
Weekly Favorites
back and ready to go with a new batch of weekly favorites!


This pasta seems so fresh and light, it's hard not to stop and drool over the picture! I love a good heavy pasta dish much as anyone, but sometimes a light pasta with spring and summer flavors is just what I need!

I love to see what people are doing with their menus, and sometimes they can make a great read, to see how the menu comes together and how everything plays off of each other. It may be worth a trip to Brooklyn, just to get that seared duck with cherry glaze!


I have a great stuffed bell peppers recipe  using beef and rice. I like at what other people are doing with their recipes and see how they differ from mine. I see some tomatoes in these that would be amazing!


I need to use more fresh fruit when I cook. I eat plenty of apples and bananas, but I need to diversify. Figs aren't typically on my radar, but this just might be enough to get me to change my mind!


Lately, we've been making more curry dishes than we typically do. It has renewed my curiosity about the different styles of curry around the world. It seems that each culture has it's own take on it and it's own variety of spices and vegetables that get blended in.


It's funny, this recipe is geared towards getting kids to embrace fish. I don't think we're there yet with our kids. My wife and I make fish on occasion, but not as often as we used to. These Asian flavors may be just enough to change that though!
