Excuse Me Ms. Bride - Please Don't forget!

From a very early age, we are taught that the most important meal of the day is breakfast and as we get older, busier, and maybe even on your wedding day, you may tend to forget that very important fact.

There are two little pieces of advice that brides tend to giggle just a bit when they see it on my timeline and that is:

#1 Eat Breakfast
#2 Drink plenty of water

Brides tend to wake up and hit the ground running on their wedding day and before they realize it, it's late in the afternoon, they haven't eaten a bite, they may end up overheated because of lack of fluids, possibly sipped a bit of champagne with your girls, in a crowded room, wearing a very heavy and possibly warm dress and you may end up feeling a bit woozy and by that time it is hard to recover. So that is why I actually include "Eat Breakfast" or "Eat Lunch" in my timeline and 9 times out of 10, as the ceremony time rapidly approaches, my brides thank me for building that into the day's activities.

So when I came across this recipe today for a breakfast parfait, I thought it sounded very refreshing and appetizing, so I thought that I would share.


Peach Breakfast Parfaits

Ingredients
2 6-oz. cartons peach yogurt
3/4 cup granola
4 medium peaches, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
Raspberries and/or peach wedges (optional)

Directions
1. Divide half of the yogurt among 4 parfait glasses. Top with half of the granola. Divide chopped peaches among the glasses. Top with remaining yogurt and remaining granola. Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 3 hours. If you like, garnish with raspberries and/or peach wedges. Makes 4 servings.

All the best & 'til next time,
