Blueberry Yogurt Granola Parfaits

Should you be lucky enough to find yourself blessed to have a very few simple ingredients in your fridge, you can also be lucky enough to find yourself munching on a little homemade yogurt parfait.  The possibilities are endless and there really isn't even a recipe because it's entirely up to you.  You can be fancy and make layers of yogurt, fruit and granola, like I did here, or you can be completely low-key and rock the parfait like my hubs does every day - just dump yogurt in a bowl, pile on a handful of granola and add some fruit (or more often in his case, a handful of chocolate chips).  

I almost hate to admit this, but I really don't like yogurt all by itself.  I'm also not always a fan of fresh fruits - I'm very picky that way.  

I'm hopeless, I know. 

That is why when I find something I actually like, it is always a huge and very pleasant surprise.

That said, for some reason, I really, really like eating parfaits.  I don't know what it is about the combination of these textures, flavors and ingredients, but it is just so good - and the kiddos love it too.  Besides, they can even easily build their own parfait in a cute bowl or cup.  Any time I can get the kids involved in the prep work is a good thing!

One last idea - if you want to be a rock star in the possibility of a breakfast in bed option for a loved one for a birthday or any other upcoming lovey-dovey holidays, well, let's just say that you can really make this colorful and pretty and fancy looking - all without doing any cooking at all.  I'm just sayin'.

Oh! And, if you are having a brunch, you wouldn't believe how cute a tray of some little clear plastic cups with pre-assembled parfaits looks and can make your life so much easier!
