Do you like having dessert for breakfast? Then I have the dessert…. err…. breakfast for you!! Brown Cow Maple Yogurt with Homemade Granola. This little tasty treat has become a staple in the Cooper Household. And while I say that we are having dessert for breakfast, the fact is that this breakfast is super healthy, especially with our homemade granola, because we know exactly what is going in it! Yum! AND this breakfast keeps me full until lunch.

The funniest thing about the yogurt is that I had been picking it up at Kroger and it appears as though someone else realized the tastiness, because sometimes I go in there and there a no yogurt containers left! Someone has beaten me to the deliciousness!

And if I am being honest, this combination ends up in a bowl in front of me for a snack, for lunch and maybe, just maybe for that sweet tooth desire when it is time to settle in for some evening TV watching. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and THIS is the perfect time of the year for maple yumminess!
