Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

In the previous granola post, I mentioned McDonald’s fruit and yogurt parfait. Well, I have been eating my homemade fruit and yogurt parfait’s this week like there’s no tomorrow.

I used the granola in my previous post for the granola in this parfait. So, so perfect. Oh, and by the way, you don’t have to put it in a parfait glass. Believe it or not, you can actually put this in a bowl.  No one will know unless you tell them. As a matter of fact, right after I got through photographing this beautiful creation, I turned the glass upside down and dumped everything into a regular old white Corelle cereal bowl. Don’t tell the parfait police.  ince I am being so daring, I’ll even admit that I put this parfait together in a plastic cup and ate it with a plastic spoon on my way to work twice this week; but only at stop lights and in the parking lot, and not while I was talking on my cell phone or driving.

What would you call this if it is in a bowl? And what makes a parfait a parfait? Are there rules? Do I really care?
