Breakfast Parfaits

This morning Kaleb and I made fruit and yogurt parfaits.

Here is the recipe it's super easy and fun to make with your kids!

                                       

First Kaleb gathered all ingredients, we Chefs call that "Mise en place"...

Next Kaleb made the cinnamon toast...
If you are doing the gluten-free thing, you can omit the cinnamon toast from the recipe but I recommend you stir the cinnamon in the plain yogurt because cinnamon is a healthy natural pick me up.

There is always time to have a whip cream fight...

Kaleb added vanilla to the strawberries it slightly macerates them and makes the acid jump out...

I suggest refrigerating the parfaits for an hour but you can eat them right away...

I let Kaleb add whip cream...
