1 c vanilla low-fat yogurt


Alternate layers of fruit and yogurt in 2 bowls or glasses, beginning and ending with fruit. Top with granola or almonds.

Dutch Baby

This was a breakfast treat for me when I was growing up... I loved it!  I made this a couple of weeks ago and was sloppy about my preheating/pan heating, but it didn't come out puffy, so make sure you follow the preheating to a T!

1 1/4 c. all-purp flour
1/4 teas. salt
1/4 teas cardamom seeds, crushed (optional, but so wonderful!!)
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. milk
1/4 c water
2 lg eggs
2 T butter
Fresh berries (opt)

Preheat oven to 425. Whisk together flour, salt, cardamom, sugar, milk, water and eggs in a large bowl. Let stand, covered, 20 mins.

When oven is 425, heat a 12" cast iron skillet in the oven for 10 min. Remove from oven and immediately melt the butter in the skillet. Immediately pour in batter; bake until puffed (about 25 min). Cut into wedges. Serve with fresh berries. Yummmmmy....
