Parfaits

In another desperate attempt to get both kidlets to eat their breakfast before lunch time we debuted the parfait. Yummy. And with the cherry on top it looks like a treat not a chore to eat. It has homemade granola, Balkan yogurt, homemade marmalade, fresh Okanagan peaches and an enormous cherry on top. Eden was fooled for a while and to my great surprise actually ate the granola. Unprecedented grain consumption on her part.
Arlo really likes granola and yogurt but she was so distracted by the peaches and cherries that she dug them out and left most of the rest behind. The next morning they didn't want anything to do with a parfait. These kids are hard-core pancake lovers. I know this will sound like blasphemy to some but I can't think of a worse breakfast than pancakes. Yeuch. The extra work of making them in the morning means I like them even less.
This is the girls making their parfait protest faces.
"We will not stand for this treatment any longer!," shouts Eden.
"We will not get out of bed for less than 10,000 pancakes a day," demands Arlo.

I know parfait is cruel and unusual punishment for such delightful kidlets but that's how I roll. I am just a half step removed from being Miss Hannigan.
