Yogurt, cherries and oats

Since I have always appreciated the untampered texture of yogurt, I have never yet combined yogurt and oats in quite this way (or mixed them quite as much). After having actually tried it, however, I wonder why I never did it before. When the mixture has chilled overnight, the oats absorb into the yogurt and soften, and the overall texture is smoother than if the oats were by themselves. The cherries add sufficient sweetness as to preclude my using artificial sweeteners at all (I call that a win).

Low fat strawberries and cream crepes

I work at Max Brenner, where they make filled crepes by folding the crepes into fourths as they are being filled. At the same time, I was buying tons of Nanna's waffles on special and cooking sheets of them in the microwave. I noticed that the sheets of waffles were rather similar to crepes, realised I also had yogurt and strawberries. And that Max Brenner makes strawberries and cream crepes. And I put two and two together. One pack of waffles, a punnet of strawberries and half a tub of chobani result in two reasonably sized servings.

Lower calorie McDonald's Sundae

After buying Walden Farms sugar free syrups, I went through a stage of wanting to replicate McDonald's ice cream sundaes that aren't so laden down with calories. It was a good idea, but unfortunately, didn't really go to plan. The reason being that the syrups have a lot of water content in them (even the chocolate syrup) and as a result, go icey when they come into contact with ice cream. I should have just stuck to yogurt!
