Pitiful Parfait



I woke up with the greatest of intentions. I had purchased plain fat-free no sugar yogurt, blueberries, and Kashi cereal. My goal was to turn these 3 items into a delicious, healthy, protein-filled breakfast parfait. I got out the fancy glasses and carefully made beautiful layers. I was so proud of the finished product.

TT7 took one bite and said “This tastes terrible!” What?!? After all the effort I went through to plan and prepare it she had the audacity to not want to eat it?!?!?! Talk about annoyed and frustrated. OMGosh, I was pretty ticked.

So later I tasted it for myself and it was…GROSS. Completely bitter tasting. So I learned one more thing on this journey- plain yogurt needs some sort of sweetener. (Yes, it’s okay to laugh at me!)

I added Splenda and it was delicious. I took a sample of the new and improved version to TT7 for lunch and apologized. She loved it.

I’m telling you this road to healthy eating isn’t easy, but totally worth making it through all these mistakes. I’m thinking of writing a book to keep track of all the craziness that happens when a fast food family learns to eat and prepare real food. There’s funny stuff going on at our house these days…
