It's All Greek To Me!

Greek Yoghurt Fresh Fruit Parfait

That's what's for breakfast today!  That was the starter course today as I shared breakfast with a lovely guest from Mount Airy North Carolina (you may recognize the name from the Andy Griffith show, it is Andy's home town).

She asked me if I had tried this very healthy and delicious all natural Greek Yoghurt.  I had not tried it and to my surprise she bought some last night and gave it to me to sample.  So what better way to sample than to serve it for breakfast?  So this morning, since it was just she and I, I sat down to a wonderful breakfast with our guest!

I am really bad about getting photos of breakfasts, I mean when I cook 'em I serve 'em up hot, there is not time to stop and take photos.  We always serve a ton of fresh fruit (locally grown and hand picked if possible) so today I quickly grabbed my camera before she came down for her cuppa and snapped a few images.

This parfait was layered in the following way:
  • vanilla Greek yoghurt
  • banana slices, blueberries
  • Cascadia brand muesli (no raisins)
  • strawberry fruit at the bottom Greek yoghurt
  • a handful of blueberries
  • a strawberry sliced and placed upright
  • a few full pecans
It was just perfect, not too sweet but with a ton of flavor. (Shhhh, okay so the main course was not quite as healthy but who doesn't love waffles?)

This innkeeper at The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast is blessed to meet so many wonderful guests.  I say it all the time, you are sick of hearing me say it, but variety is the spice of an innkeeper's life.  We have so many amazing guests, for this we are truly grateful - it really is more than just a business.  We hope we can bless you during your stay with us as well.
