My final #JLBrunches (and goodbye party!) may just have been my favorite set up to date! I stepped out of my comfort zone with the styling, using different flowers than I normally wouldn't use. But still used my favorite color (yellow!), and topped the flowers on stacks of books. I love weaving in cheese cloth to add texture. I broiled a few grapefruit. And made a yogurt parfait bar! Read on for recipes and the how-to!
Yogurt Parfait Bar and Fruit Board Tutorial;
Components;
- Yogurt, I LOVE Siggi's. I set out a bowl of Vanilla, and a bowl of "Touch of Honey". I also provided a vegan yogurt, Kite Hill, for my vegan friends!
- Something CRUNCHY! I love Purely Elizabeths Granola! I set out two flavors. I also put out walnuts and a little bowl of chia seeds.
- I am so inspired by Cezanne and Matisse and their still lives. So I wanted a LOT of fruit. I set out and sliced stone fruit, plums, nectarines, peaches, and apricots. Blueberries, strawberries, cherries, and bananas, Papaya, Pomegranates, and figs.
- I also set out whole, unsliced fruit for the display.
- I arranged all of the fruit and components on cheese board and plates.
- I set out bowls and plates so my guests could put together their own yogurt and fruit parfait!
- The best part about this is it can be vegetarian or vegan, and you can use whatever fruit is in season!
