Sometimes the mood for dessert strikes me but I either don’t have time to make something or I don’t have the stuff on hand to make anything elaborate.  This is a very simple dessert to throw together at the last minute.

Yogurt Parfait

4 oz yogurt, any flavor
1/3 cup fruit, I particularly like strawberries
1/3 cup cereal

Take a small individual ramekin or glass dish.  Layer yogurt, fruit and cereal.  Serve.

I use my crock pot a lot. Its nice to come home and have dinner already made. Having dinner already made when I get home prevents me from stopping for fast food or snacking before dinner.

6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
