The Perfect Breakfast: Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait

Zesty Strawberry Rhubarb Compote Parfait

It’s rhubarb season, strawberry season AND hot summer days season. Normally I have the luxury of enjoying fresh rhubarb back home in Maine — straight out of the garden. Thank God Whole Foods in Boston delivered; you can buy individual stalks when in season. My mom and I originally found this strawberry-rhubarb compote recipe from Skinny Taste a couple summers ago. The tartness of the rhubarb is perfectly balanced with sweet and juicy strawberries to make a sauce. This time, I added in lemon zest and a juicy ripe peach. Layer over your favorite yogurt and granola for a Zesty Strawberry Rhubarb Compote Parfait — the perfect on-the-go breakfast! (Or hey — even dessert.)

Poached Berries

Poached Berries are great — so easy to make, full of flavor, and can be made ahead of time. Another recipe my mom showed me (thanks, Mom!). The berries are especially tasty because by poaching them, you remove the hassle of washing each serving and decrease the time fresh berries will perish; instead, everything’s done in one step and viola! fresh berry sauce for days. Based on my new obsession with chia seeds and breakfast bowls, poached berries paired with overnight oats and chia seeds seemed like a natural combination. Poached berries are perfect to top oatmeal for breakfast or Greek yogurt for a snack or dessert. Try this berry sauce for yourself and discover the enormous flavor behind poached berries!

It’s rhubarb season. Normally I have the luxury of enjoying fresh rhubarb back home in Maine. In Ithaca, I bought some rhubarb at the Farmer’s Market last weekend. While my family usually makes a simple rhubarb tart (a household favorite), my mom and I found this Strawberry Rhubarb Compote recipe from Skinny Taste a couple summers ago, when the rhubarb was abundant and seemed to eternally grow. The tartness of the rhubarb is perfectly balanced with sweet and juicy strawberries to make a sauce that perfectly pairs with yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, shortcake…the possibilities are endless! This compote is a necessary addition to your rhubarb repertoire. Continue reading “Ravenous for Rhubarb” →
