Butter and Sugar

Peach Yogurt Parfait, originally uploaded by jasonrr.

This week was pretty rough. My family’s beloved dog Rex had to be put down due to cancer. He was only sick for two days, and it was really a shock. We will all miss him so much. I said that I would come go over to my mom’s for dinner but I knew she wouldn’t want ‘real food’ so I made this. Sometimes food can make things a little better.
J and I also ate this later in the week, and that’s when this photo was taken. All things aside, this was really good and comforting, and peaches are currently in season in the northeast.

1 White Peach per dish, sliced
1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt per dish
2 tablespoons granola (recipe below)
1/2 tsp honey

I layered each element and topped it with a bit of honey to sweeten the yogurt.

For the granola:
1 cup whole oats
1/4 chopped pecans
4 tbsp honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cinnamon

Combine these until the oats are covered with honey and butter. Spread in an even layer and bake until golden at 350. This will take about 20-25 minutes. You will want to keep an eye on the pecans to prevent them from burning.
