Peach & Raspberry Parfait

Posted by peppertree on July 4, 2009

We went on a week-long cruise to Bermuda recently (this explains why I haven’t been posting lately!), and when we got back home, we vowed to start eating better. ;D Eating at an endless buffet 3-plus times a day really takes a toll on you! So I decided to buy alot of fruit at the grocery store, and thought we could enjoy said fruit in a dessert (hey, it’s LITE vanilla ice cream!). This took no time to make, and it was so tasty! There was alot of fruit left over, so the next morning, I had some in my cereal, and Liam had some over his mini-waffles. Good stuff!
