Usually my daily breakfast routine (as well as afternoon and midnight snacks) consists of either cold cereal or fruit and yogurt parfaits. During the summer months I take full advantage of all the fresh fruits (mostly the fresh berries) and gobble up parfaits all day long!
Since the fall/winter months have rolled around I decided to come up with a fruit and yogurt parfait suitable for this time of year. Utilizing fall fruits like apples, grapes, and cranberries; a homemade yogurt (more on this to come) and the Pumpkin Spice Granola from a few days ago, this is the perfect fall parfait!
Oh and before I forget the winner of the $25 Sam’s Gift Card and Chex cereal (chosen by random.org) is comment number 48, The Griggs. Please contact me within 48 hours to claim your prize. Thank you to all who entered!
Note: This recipe could easily be doubled or tripled and served in a trifle bowl, making a beautiful addition to a holiday brunch!
