Hi there,

Well, the big day is drawing close and I still haven’t posted a dessert recipe. The reason for the long delay is that I have been trying to think of what would be a good dessert in the context of a small, intimate Thanksgiving celebration.

I bought a yogurt maker a few months ago and after making the last batch of yogurt, I had the ah ha moment. How about a yogurt parfait that would taste like apple crumb pie. I have fond memories of parfait. When I was a little girl, my grandmother loved John Wayne. One of the things we would do together would be to go to the latest John Wayne movie and after have Creme de Menthe Parfaits. So Grandmom, this one is for you and the Duke.

servings
Prep time

30

minutes
Cooking time

15

minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 jars 4 Oui Vanilla Yogurt

  • 4 heaping tablespoons 4 Stonewall Kitchen Apple Cider Jam

  • 4 cookies 4 Amaretti del Chiostro Cookies

Preparation

  • Layer half of the yogurt in the bottom of a small jar
  • Layer 1 heaping teaspoon of the Apple Cider Jam
  • Layer remaining yogurt on top of the jam
  • Crush 4 amaretti cookies and put a little on the top of each jar

Notes

  • Although I make my own yogurt, I think Oui is a delicious product and you will have the benefit of getting a pretty glass jar to use.

I hope you enjoy this smidge healthier dessert and use it as a jumping off recipe to create your own parfait dessert.

And, as a close to this Thanksgiving Edition, I would like to send you over to D. Wallace Peach’s hysterical post from Sunday about cooking turkey. Here is the link: https://mythsofthemirror.com/2022/11/20/talking-turkey/. Keep Smiling!

  5. Bern, your parfait recipe sounds so simple yet so delicious! And thank you for sharing that memory of you and your grandmother. It’s a great story!

    And your animated graphics are fabulous! Such a wonderful post in so many ways!

    Happy Thanksgiving to Bern, your family and all your readers whom I’m sure enjoy these recipes, stories and photos as much as I.

  7. Dorothy's New Vintage Kitchen – I'm a writer, cook, gardener, photographer, poet, quilter, and accomplished daydreamer. I'm also a wife, mother, grandmother, sister. cousin, aunt, and friend, no particular order on any given day. I've been a writer all my life, newspaper reporter and columnist, radio news writer, and magazine contributor, and poet and short-story writer as the spirit moves. Now, I turn my attention to my cookbook, the blog, and a cooking column "Memorable Meals," which runs in our county newspaper. Besides my family, I love dogs, cats, good coffee, and my never-dwindling pile of books I intend to read. Our family ran a small Vermont Inn for 18 years, with our focus on local, organic ingredients. After many years of daily serving up of our local delicacies, cooking classes, and catering, we are now only open for special events, and the odd cooking class as the spirit moves me. We also host musicians and artists, having helped produce a musical festival and other musical events for nearly 20 years. Many incredible artists have found a place at our table. Wonderful experiences, we will treasure always. My family and friends are my practice subjects. With a family that includes nut, peanut, tree fruit, and vegetable allergies, gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, vegetarians, vegans, heart conscious, and a couple of picky eaters, there has to be a few quick tricks in the book to keep everyone fed and happy! Personally, I do not eat red meat or most dairy (usually) for health reasons, making the occasional exception at Thanksgiving and Christmas or our anniversary if the duck is locally raised. I do eat fish and seafood, so I try to come up with alternatives and substitutions when available. I serve local organic eggs and cheeses to my family who can tolerate dairy (My husband recently had a heart attack, and I need to watch my own cholesterol so I am careful, but have been known to let a little piece of really good cheese accidentally fall on my plate!). I believe strongly that eating in a way that is good for our planet is also good for our bodies! I cook by the seasons and draw on inspiration from the strong and talented women in my family who came before me, as well as the youth in the family who look at the world with fresh eyes. Food links us all, whether sharing a meal, cooking it together, or writing about it for others to enjoy. I love taking an old recipe and giving it a modern spin, especially if I can make it a littler healthier and use foods that are kinder to the Earth and to our bodies. I believe strongly in sustainable, delicious eating of whole foods, and the wonderful flavors we have at our fingertips! And finally, I love conversing with all the talented cooks and chefs out there who dot the globe! It's a wonderful, world full of culinary pen pals, and I cherish them all! XXXOOO Dorothy
