Open All Night

well, your ever loving green eyed chef, could not get to sleep last night.......I think because I have my fantasy football draft tonight(yes, I have a sport hobby outside of cooking)and it is quite stressful since it is basically the beginning of what always turns into another losing football season for me.

Anyway, around 2:30am I started craving a fruit and yogurt parfait from a local fastfood eatery but was too lazy to get dressed and drive myself there. So I looked in the fridge to see what I had and then looked through rachaels meals and found myself this quick and easy little gem.........Yogurt Crunch


Ingredients
6 cups vanilla yogurt
4 firm granola bars
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 pint strawberries, sliced with stems removed

Directions

Pour yogurt into a bowl. Add granola bars to a plastic food storage bag and crush. Add to yogurt along with nuts. Stir to combine all ingredients and transfer to cups. Top with strawberries and serve.

The verdict.......this quick and easy item(took less then 10 mins to make), really hit the spot and is pretty healthy to boot. Now I listed the entire recipe, but since I am cooking for one, I cut the ingredients down to about 1/5 the amounts.

For the granola bars, you could use whatever flavor you want, I used oats and honey and I also used toasted walnuts for the chopped nuts.

I also put the strawberries in the bowl first and use the yogurt mixture as a topping instead of what Rachael recommends.

But again, this was a great little item and can be used really for breakfast or dessert.

Until Tomorrow....................
