Yogurt Parfait w/ Raspberries

-
~food that is pretty always tastes better~


I know that Yogurt/Granola/fruit Parfaits are nothing new, but I always feel more at peace when there is a pretty picture at the top of my blog ☺and those are some of my favorite colors, and red raspberries are in the top 5 of my favorite fruit list. AND this is what I enjoyed for my lunch today. I was trying to clean out my fridge before we leave and was lucky enough to actually have something good in there.
The Granola is homemade and the yogurt is just plain, but I added vanilla and SomerSweet to give it life and flavor. It was yummy!
And the yellow tulip was picked for me by my sweet daughter last night ☺and given to me with a sweet note that she wrote. She amazes me that she knows just when I need things like that! Today she told me after cleaning up her super messy room. "Whew, Mom my legs hurt! Now I know how YOU feel when you have to pick up my stuff!" Haha, she is "sugar and spice" and I think that's NICE!! ☺


                                                                          Enjoy!!

    You shouldn't be doing this to people who do not have raspberries available! Your desert looks divine! Happy Easter!

    Your parfait looks delicious and your photo is gorgeous. I also have to have a pretty photo at the top of my blog in order for the world to feel right!
    Raspberries are in my top five, too. I've been eyeing them at the store for months, but they're still almost five dollars for a container that has about twelve raspberries in it! I can't bring myself to take that plunge, but with summer right around the corner, hopefully I'll be able to indulge soon!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
