Good morning all!
I had meant to post something new a couple of days ago, but there have been a lot of stressful changes at work this week, so I've been giving myself a pass in terms of how much I've been requiring myself to get done over the last few days.
I've been thinking a lot about layers this week. Layers of bureaucracy, layers of management, layers of emotion, layers of music. I'm part of an amazing choir that meets every Tuesday at a bar here in Toronto. Every week, our fearless leaders teach us two songs, we drink beer, catch up with good friends, make new friends, and laugh A LOT. No matter how shitty your week was, you know you'll have at least one night in your week where you will feel pure joy and love. We divide into three groups - lows, mids, and highs - then we layer each part and finally, finally record it and post what we did that night on Soundcloud.
So, how does me being inspired by layers translate to food? I have a favourite dessert/light breakfast/snack that is a staple in my food rotation and I thought I'd share the goodness! I offer this picture as an amuse-bouche:
Excited yet? As a single gal, I'm going to offer this up as a single-serving recipe.
1 square (12.5g) Lindt 70% cocoa dark chocolate (or the equivalent of whatever dark chocolate you like). Dark chocolate is the way to go on this one as the rest of the ingredients are so sweet.
3/4 cup lemon-flavoured yogurt (I used Liberte brand)
1 cup blueberrries (I used blueberries this time, but raspberries are particularly lovely. Blackberries or strawberries would also be wonderful)
Chop the chocolate (as in the picture above). In a bowl, layer fruit and yogurt as you like, then sprinkle with the chocolate. Feast!
I also do this with granola instead of the chocolate and call it breakfast. I like a nice thick Greek-style yogurt as it feels more indulgent and satisfies me more.
Have a great week guys!
Michelle xoxo
