It *is* September but it's still plenty hot here in DC, so as long as you can find summer produce...it's still summer in my opinion! This recipe was inspired by fresh figs I found at Trader Joe's, as well as some beautiful local thyme I had picked up at Whole Foods. It's quick, easy and the flavors combination is amazing!

There's really no prep necessary - as long as you have all the ingredients, you can throw this together for a delicious and quick breakfast or snack. I used plain skyr yogurt (Siggi's!), but regular Greek yogurt would work as well. Ricotta would also be amazing, and could then it work for an appetizer as well. Just spread out your yogurt base, add sliced figs on top, then drizzle with honey and scatter thyme leaves and walnuts on top. You can see I used a lot of thyme!

Bon appetit 🙂

And yes - it comes via sous chef Pedro!! Idea to execution, this recipe was all his 🙂 The theme was initially fall inspired, but the pomegranate and pistachio gave me all the Christmas feels. Even though the weather feels too warm here in Washington D.C., the cookies, decorations and *thoughts* of snow are enough to get me a little excited.

Anyway, moving on to the creation of this lovely parfait.  This parfait was initially intended as a dessert, but I requested it to be moved to the morning since I was a little full that night we cooked. At first I didn't think the pistachio would work but it totally did and was such a festive holiday touch. We had some granola on hand that I had made earlier in the week, as well as some pomegranate that Pedro had de-seeded so we used both of those. I normally wouldn't bother to put them in a fancy glass but I'm so glad we did because it turned out so colorful 🙂 Plus, it was good to change things up with some yogurt. Love me some Fage.

So much magical holiday spirit!

These were totally a 5 minute creation once the prep was done - do it the night before! You could also buy pomegranate seeds already prepped, as well as use store bought granola and shelled pistachios. Then all you have to do is layer up! A bowl with toppings would also be great (I suspect this would travel well to work), but the layers are great to mix things throughout. Try it out and see what you think!
