Lately I’ve been ditching my normal routine when it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping. I was stuck in a rut, particularly when it came to breakfast options. I decided to think about what I would order for breakfast if I were to swing into McDonalds (one of my favorite breakfast spots, don’t judge me). Yogurt parfaits and croissant breakfast sandwiches. Yummy…
I’ll get to the croissants later this week – I’m going to try my hand at making croissants by hand. That should be nothing short of interesting.
ANYWAY, I got all the ingredients for the yogurt parfait during my shopping trip yesterday afternoon and I put them together last night.
I layered frozen fruit and vanilla yogurt twice in four dessert glasses, covered them in saran wrap and let them sit in the fridge overnight. Then this morning I took one out and topped it with a generous helping of granola.
I think the granola was my favorite part. This particular kind of granola was the only one I could find at Walmart that didn’t have any type of nuts in it. (No nuts in this house!) It was really tasty! And it’s organic, no less.
It was amazing. And much better than my usual bowl of cereal. (And yes, I often feed Micah breakfast in just his diaper. Why not?)
Lunch is my rut. For both me and Lydia! I feel like we're always eating the same stuff… or leftovers from dinner the night before. Food is one of the ONLY things that makes me miss my old office job. In-building cafeteria, several places within walking distance, or if those wouldn't do I could drive to a whole slew of restaurants in the area. It was great for all my pregnancy cravings!
