Berry Plate for Breakfast, Lunch or Snack, or as a Salad with Dinner

I love berries during the summer months. If you can pick them in the wild, they are free.

Serves 4:

8 learge strawberries

2 cups rasperries

2 cups blueberries

Yogurt for dipping.

Toast Treats

Sometimes we have an over abundance of breads and condiments in the pantry, but not much else. This has led me to making  ‘treats’ from what is on hand. These are for snacks, or can be used for breakfast and lunch if you add a bowl of fruit.

 

Toast

Appropriate fillings

• Cinnamon and sugar
• Peanut butter
• Peanut butter and jelly
• Peanut butter and fluff
• Butter and jelly
• Cheese and meet
• Sliced banana and peanut butter
• Thinly sliced apple and peanut butter

Each treat will consist of two pieces of toast and your chosen filling. Make the sandwich and cut into one of the following:

• 4 squares
• 4 triangles
• 4 strips

NOTE: You could also use a cookie cutter to cut out the center for your child. You could then eat the outside yourself.

Yogurt Toppers

I usually only eat one kind of yogurt. I am aware that this is a pickyness factor for me. I like Dannon Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt. I buy the large containers when I can, which is generally cheaper than buying multiple smaller containers.

I do many things with this yogurt. Besides eating mixed with mellons and using it in smoothies, I also put toppers on it. Here are some yogurt topper ideas for you:

• Mixed dried fruit
• Granola
• Fresh berries
• Fresh fruit
• Crushed pineapple
• Tuna and diced apple
• Tuna, diced apple and diced celery

How about sharing your yogurt topper successes with us in the comments section. Thank you.

Berry Parfaits

I love Parfaits. I like to pretty them up for the children, to turn them into special treats.

• I put them into the sundae cups for a nice treat.
• I have real tea spoons with long handles that I place in the cups.

Berries are very healthy, and should be a part of everyone’s diet, with the possible exception of babies. My daughters and the daycare children love these, as do I.

• You can use any type of berry that you like, and you can mix and match the berries.
• You can choose between low-fat vanilla yogurt and whipped topping.
• You can also add toppings such as cherries or granola.

All you do is:

• Put a tablespoon of yogurt in the bottom of the cup.
• Then layer yogurt and berries until you get to the top.
• Finally, you can add your choice of topping.

These parfaits are great for:

• Daycare children to make.
• Hot summer days.
• Party treats.

They make great:

• Snacks.
• Breakfast ideas.
• Desserts.

Enjoy!
