…and not cooking

Sometimes, when it is hot, you see all these recipes in the paper about not cooking, and making something light.  It’s been hot, the last few days, and I have been mostly eating nuts and berries.

Granted, a whole pint or two of blueberries, but since I am the only one home at the moment, as sweetie and daughter are in L.A., with their own private hell heat, I only have to cook for me.

I was all set to cook something with the onions I picked up at the farmer’s market, as well as some potatoes. I was going to make a veggie shepherd’s pie, and I may yet do so, but the kitchen gets too hot, and I have all the yogurt I made the other day, as well as the strawberries, and granola, and that can make a parfait without any cooking at all.

And come on, I don’t need to document how I did that, do I? :) I just looked up to see if there was something special I was supposed to do, other than layer the yogurt, berries and granola.

Nope. Here is the example I found:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup granola
  • 8 blackberries
  • In a large glass, layer 1 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup granola and 4 blackberries. Repeat layers.
  • OK, so they ask for blackberries, instead of strawberries, but close enough.
