I like the heat. Once I graduate in about 6 months, I plan on moving down south, have some fun in the sun, and helping people the best I can. Some people love the snow, or the rain, or the four seasons. If you're one of those of people, that's cool, I totally dig that. I'm a little different though. My love affair with snow is over... and by love affair I mean getting my lunch money stolen everyday for 4-5 months out of the year. So this heat wave up in NY is something that I don't mind, and am actually happy for. The only thing that I miss now is AC. When you want to go to sleep at midnight and you're swimming like a toy boat in sweat, it's not awesome. So there is no way my oven is going on this week. This week is cool dessert week. So I bring you something cool and simple. If you think I'm cheating you a little, well just blame the heat on my brain. I'm a poor college kid. Send me AC money :)I like parfaits because they take about 3 minutes to make, and are super versatile. Cherries were on sale, so I went with that. I'm sure any fruit you have will work, so just take your yogurt, fruit, and some crunch like granola and layer them. It's a nice texture combination, and the presentation gives out super style points. I feel like I could impress a girl with this (but there's probably no fooling some of you), which might be a great idea down the road. When you're hot and tired, give this summer treat a shot.
I don't know the exact measurements for the recipe, and sort of just layered things, so just use your best judgment. Remember, we just make stuff up here.
Cherry Coconut Crunch Parfait 1 cup low-fat, vanilla yogurt
1 cup cherries
½ cup granola
¼ cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
Take out a clean, small glass like a wine glass. Layer yogurt, cherries, granola, and coconut into the glass until you have between two and three layers each. Chill for a few minutes to combine the flavors, and enjoy.
