I wasn’t too happy to have to set my alarm on a Saturday but I needed to get in a 3 mile run before I have to be at work by 11 am.
I got up a little after 7 am, and enjoyed yet another Fig Newman – for some reason I was STARVING this morning.
I set out for a 3 mile run but ended up running 3.85 miles – I forgot to turn my Garmin on so I went back and redid some of what I had already run to see how far it was. Can someone say Type A? Jack Frost paid a visit to the area last night and it was chilly – I had a hard time regulating my breathing, but once I warmed up, it wasn’t too bad.
Last weekend I bought a bag of cranberries from the farm down the road (also where I bought the Spaghetti Squash I have been enjoying).
I found a recipe in the November issue of Cooking Light magazine that sounded amazing – sadly the recipe isn’t online but it included sugar and apple cider. It is a great cranberry sauce and if you want to find it, I recommend you pick up the magazine – its on page 69!
This morning I mixed some of my cranberry sauce with some pomegranate arils and started layering it with some Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt and Granola plus Grape Nuts.
Check out this Candy Cane Parfait!
This was delicious. The granola sweetened the tart cranberries (I used less sugar in the sauce then called for) and the vanilla added a great flavor. You may be seeing this breakfast again in the next 3 days.

I love Hanson Farm! Their produce is always very fresh and their prices are CHEAP. The parfait sounds delicious. Your description of the sweet vs. tart has me intrigued. I’ll have to try this
Just wanted to say – your breakfast parfaits have inspired me to make my own. Keep up the good work with the running AND the food ideas!
I love using cranberry sauce in my parfaits too! I highly recommend it with crumbled up muffin and plain Fage.
Pretty parfait! I’ve never tried to make my own cranberry sauce. Now that I think about it….I’ve only eaten it from a can!
