Another Breakfast for Kids Idea

This worked out pretty well this week, too. Take a giant dollop of that yummy Greek yogurt, add some lite whipped topping, a smattering of a liquid sweetener (anything from agave to corn syrup), fresh fruit--I used pineapple--ground flax seed, and wheat germ. Put that in a blender and blend until smooth. Add powdered sugar if added sweetness or a thicker consistency is desired. Pour into a crust you've made from graham crackers and a little butter, having baked the crust for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees, before cooling. Top with more fresh fruit. Let that set in the fridge--or you can "soft-freeze" it for a short time. Makes a nice pie or breakfast dish to which you can add nuts, uncooked oatmeal, cinnamon, dried fruit, or a cereal for crunch.

I'll be trying some new ideas with cakes tomorrow, so I'll keep you appraised. Happy baking!
