I seem to have a theme going, here. Spring. It is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year in the high desert. I’m sure my loved ones wonder why in the world we are so grounded in this dry, little, desert town in the middle of nowhere. Well, as The Little Prince declares, “The desert is beautiful.” This desert has so much spirit and life and a view with no bounds.
In French, parfait means perfect. How fitting to indulge in this perfectly delicious fruit parfait on this perfectly lovely (and quite lazy) spring morning. My mom recently sent us a fabulous and fun cookbook called Crazy Sexy Kitchen by Kris Carr with Chef Chad Sarno. My hubby and I have both been inspired by these beautiful and creative vegan recipes lately. Today, with that stream of light through the kitchen window and some self-imposed lazy time, I set out to create my own version of the Mango-Raspberry Parfait with Vanilla Creme.
I love Spring, short as it is in this high desert of ours. There is something about that stream of morning light from the kitchen window on a quiet Saturday morning that sparks a feeling of “spring fever”. This beautiful but brief period of time, when the desert is green and blooming with new life, fills me with energy. And that stream of light through the kitchen window makes me feel like indulging in a few of my favorite greens.
