School has been in session now for a month and a half and this house fallen into the breakfast blahs. When I go grocery shopping and ask what everyone wants I am met with blank stares and "I dunno know".
Here are two tried and true recipes that can be made ahead for an easy morning breakfast that even the kids can serve themselves.

Vanilla Bean Yogurt
Parfaits
16 ounce Plain Greek Yogurt
4T local honey
1 Vanilla bean

(feel free to mix up the fruit especially when the tree ripened peaches are
available)
Fresh granola (this can be homemade or store bought)
Mix yogurt, 3T honey, and contents of vanilla bean and
refrigerate for approximately one hour.
In separate container mix berries and 1T honey. In four glass dishes layer yogurt and fruit
and top with granola.

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
