Raspberry-Pomegranate Parfait

Start with fresh pomegranate and extract the juice.  I used a ricer: Good Grips Ricer Mix raspberries, the pomegranate juice, a bit of vanilla and a smidgen of sugar. Muddle the ingredients and spoon a portion into a clear glass. Add Greek youghurt to a piping bag (I prefer vanilla or honey) and carefully add a layer atop the raspberries.  Continue alternating layers of fruit and youghurt until the glass is full. Top the arrangement with sugared raspberries and a sprig of mint.

Serve chilled. Sweet citrus flavours are an excellent complement to the raspberries.

Tarte aux Fraises with Greek Youghurt

This one's not quite the classic strawberry tarte.  It has a graham cracker crust, but the filling is made of Greek youghurt, coconut oil, sugar and vanilla.  It's egg free, much lighter and more tangy than the traditional crème pâtissière - a nice alternative for those with egg intolerances.

Making the design isn't complicated at all.  Escargot it! - just make a slight overlapping cicrular pattern.

C'est délicieux!

Veggie Bars

First, bake the crescent rolls - flat.

Mix ranch dressing powder in unflavoured Greek youghurt.

When cooled, spread the crescent rolls with the youghurt mix and top with fresh veg: alfalfa sprouts, broccoli, carrots, green onions and tomatoes.  Top with pistachios.
