Fancy Schmancy Breakfast Parfait


Things are getting a little gray here at the old desk. One has to do one's best to keep one's spirits up. The best things in life, I believe, are those things which combine elements of 'fancy' with elements of 'lazy'. I have invented the breakfast treat which fits those requirements.

Ingredients: blackberries and yogurt and dry cereal - mash up the berries in the yogurt, layer them with the cereal in this tall glass. Note: blackberries are great, but they weren't sweet enough with plain yogurt. There should really be a honey jar in my office kitchen. There isn't.


My favorite regular cereal right now is still Mesa Sunrise, and not just because of the silly name. I have also been enjoying the gluten-free granola from Bakery on Main Street - it was on sale at Whole Foods for $5.99. They have a few flavors - I have been munching on the "Extreme Fruit and Nut" flavor, which has hazelnuts in it. YES. PLEASE. It's actually too good, which is why I've switched back to regular cereal. I tend to eat all the best granola nuggets right away, leaving a bag full of sesame seeds by Friday morning.
