Well, my recipe for the day flopped. I made a healthier version of blackberry crumble. I had to rename it blackberry sludge.\u00a0 I think I know where I went wrong and will try again, but in the meantime, here is a recipe I posted in the early days of my blog.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy and\u00a0 requires no baking — which is important on days like today when the temperature is forecast to be in triple digits.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Fresh Fruit Parfait<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a01 cup part-skim milk ricotta cheese<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/2 tsp. almond extract<\/p>\n
\u2022 Stevia, or other sugar substitute to equal 1 tsp. sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 TB skin milk<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 cup sliced oranges<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 cup seedless red grapes<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 medium apple<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 bananas<\/p>\n
Blend ricotta cheese and other non-fruit ingredients in a blender.\u00a0 Cover and refrigerate.\u00a0Peel, cut and dice the apples, slice the bananas, and mix with the sliced oranges and the grapes.<\/p>\n
Prepare six parfait glasses.\u00a0 Place a tablespoon of cheese mixture in the bottom of each glass.\u00a0 Add a layer of fruit mixture to each glass.\u00a0 Top with another tablespoon of cheese and keep layering.<\/p>\n
It looks pretty and tastes good.\u00a0 The glycemic index is just 46 and there are about 145 calories per serving.<\/p>\n
And look for an improved blackberry crumble recipe next week!<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
