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.
