Helpful Hints:
|
This is a recipe that you really don’t have to measure ingredients. It’s a good time to practice using your measuring skills though. Fill a measuring spoon with yogurt. Use the flat side of a knife and scrape the knife across the measuring spoon to level off the yogurt. This will give an accurate measure. Use a rubber spatula to scoop the yogurt into the cup.
We are using the Food Guide Pyramid as a pattern for making for this snack. Cereal is in the Grain Group at the base of the pyramid. Strawberries are in the Fruit Group. Yogurt fits in the Milk Group. Peanuts are in the Meat Group because they have protein. Chocolate chips are at the very top of the pyramid — the “sometimes” foods. Do you know which food group is not in this parfait? (The Vegetable Group)

Safety Tip:
|
Before you start to get out ingredients for a recipe, wash the work area with a clean cloth, soap and water. Wash your hands in warm water with soap, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds. That’s about as long as it takes to sing the “ABC’s” or “Happy Birthday.” When you cook, don’t lick the spoon or your fingers. It’s important to keep from spreading germs!
