A delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Albeit a bit girly.  This was a perfect way to start the day after a long week.  I have long been a fan of parfaits (made with some mix of berries, usually of the straw and blue varieties, vanilla or plain yogurt, and granola on top), but sometimes they are too sweet for me.  When, the other day, I saw a coworker put together this concoction, I was like, you're brilliant!  She adds splenda but I think it's just fine without.  Ingredients are simple:

1. One yellow nectarine or peach (banana works in a pinch)
2. Big dollops of cottage cheese
3. A sprinkling of Smart Start cereal, which is always delicious.

There is something about the combination of soft sweet fruit, creamy cheese curds and crunchy cereal that sends the pleasure receptors in my brain a-tingling.
