BLUEBERRY LEMON PARFAIT
I adapted this recipe from one I found online that used blueberries, lemon yogurt, and crushed gingersnap cookies. I couldn't find lemon yogurt and I needed some cake in there! A great and easy summer dessert. Variation: If you don't like yogurt, try this with lemon pudding! Or change it up and use lemon pound cake with white chocolate pudding!

BLUEBERRY YOGURT PARFAIT
The beneficial phytonutrients in blueberries are anthocyanins, a type found in other fruits and vegetables with red, blue and purple pigments. Scientists use a test called the O.R.A.C. (short for oxygen radical absorbance capacity) to rate the antioxidant capacity in foods, and by this measure blueberries always come out on top. So if red wine is off limits and beets just aren't your thing, try adding a half cup of blueberries to your cereal or yogurt in the morning, throw a half cup of frozen blueberries into your smoothie - or try any of this week's recipes. This beautiful parfait tastes so much richer than it is. You can serve it for breakfast or for dessert. Look for organic yogurt that has no thickeners or gums added to it.

Steps:
- Combine the blueberries, sugar, lime juice and balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for five to 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced and the blueberries have cooked down to a jam-like consistency. Allow to cool. You should have about 1 cup of thick, jammy sauce.
- Spoon 1/4 cup thick yogurt into the bottom of each of 4 tumblers or parfait glasses. Top with 2 tablespoons of the blueberry sauce. Make another 1/4 cup layer of yogurt on top of the blueberry sauce, and finish with another 2 tablespoon-layer of blueberry sauce. Cover tightly and chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the top.

Steps:
- Combine blueberries and blueberry preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until blueberries start to soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for 15 to 20 minutes (sauce will slightly thicken).
- Beat cream in a large chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla extract and sugar gradually, continuing to beat on low speed until soft peaks form. Slowly increase speed to high as cream starts to firm up. Beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl one time during mixing.
- Spoon equal layers of lemon curd, followed by blueberry sauce, and whipped cream in small dessert glasses. Repeat this layering one more time, and garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint.
- Move glasses to the fridge, and chill for 30 minutes or longer.

LEMON AND BLUEBERRY YOGURT PARFAIT (LOW FAT)
I am playing around and trying to find some new lower fat recipes to put into my rotation to keep me from getting bored. This turned out to be lush tasting and something that I could happily eat both for breakfast or for a fairly diet friendly dessert. I use fat free Greek yogurt in this because I enjoy the thick creamy texture with such little fat. Also, I am lactose intolerant but have found that I don't get any reactions when I eat Greek yogurt. I have used both Splenda and sugar in the blueberry stage of this recipe and both worked well
