I'm going to be bold and declare that I'm totally winning. We are having dinner every Monday night together, and we're not pounding tons of unhealthy snacks on Monday afternoons. Admittedly, most of the season is still ahead of us, but I think we're off to a really good start.
This week was super easy. We had yogurt parfait with homemade granola. It took 5 minutes to assemble, and in martini glasses, the kids think it is fantastic. I'm pretty sure that if I put it in a plastic bowl they wouldn't eat it. Score one for marketing.
If you've been eating parfaits prepared by Starbucks or Panera or whoever, try making them at home. You won't believe how much better they are when the fruit isn't half-frozen, the yogurt is actually good, and the granola isn't half flax seeds.
The recipe for the granola is one of my first blog posts. If you need to buy the granola at the store, I won't tell. Just don't pick the one that is half flax seeds, because it isn't healthy if you can't choke it down.
