For Two
The weekends are a marvelous time to sleep in and stay warm in your bed. What better time to make a Delightsome Breakfast for two to share in your bedroom. We could take our time and put our favorite, romantic movie, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ on – just a few days ago we celebrated the 200th anniversary of this amazing story -
I have been wanting to create this beautiful dish ever since I saw it in the cookbook, Modern Hospitality: Simple Recipes with Southern Charm
Fresh Fruit and Granola Tarts
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
6 tablespoons chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cane syrup or maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1 1/3 cup blueberries
2 large bananas, sliced
1 1/2 cups whole milk plain yogurt
2 teaspoons honey (optional)
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
Preheat the oven to 325°
Combine the oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, salt, syrup, and butter in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture evenly among three 41/2-inch tart pans with removable bottoms. Press the mixture into the bottom, but ont the sides, of the tart pans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and using the back of a spoon, press some of the granola into the sides of the tart pans. Return to the oven to bake for 3 to 5 minutes to set the crust.
Let the tart shells rest 3 to 4 minutes, then, using an oven mitt to prtect the hand holdiing the tart pan, carefully remove the tart shells fromt he pans and place on a rack to cool.
Toss toether the strawberries, blueberries, and bananas in a medium bowl.
To serve, place each tart shell on a small plate. Spoon the fruit mixture into the shells. Top each witn a 1/4 cup yogurt. Drizzle with honey, if desired. Serve garnished with orange zest.

Well, plans didn’t turn out like I’d thought – we ended up watching some Princess Bride – another lovely, funny story. Dearest’s verdict is that he really liked these tarts! It’s Groundhog Day – here in Georgia General Beauregard Lee saw his shadow thus forcasting for us six more weeks of winter. So much fun!
I hope you’re having a blessed weekend.

Time to Shine ~ A Diamond in the Stuff
I am living my dream. Blessed with a wonderful husband I call Dearest and three amazing children, plus an awesome son-in-law, I find joy in creating a Delightsome life for us all. Now an 'Empty Nester', I find my passions in decorating, gardening, crafting, cooking and woven throughout the fabric of my life is my faith in God and my LORD Jesus Christ. 
Oh wow this looks delicious! I was going to say I will be right over but my hubby is making us a late brunch right now! We are having black bean & scrambled egg burritos!
I am going to have to check that book out!
Oh, I love black beans! this sounds terrific! I hope you have a blessed weekend,
Kathy
What a delightful looking breakfast! The granola tarts are beautiful — I often do a yogurt/fruit/granola parfait kind of thing, but I may have to see if I can find some little tart pans to try that out — wait a minute! I wonder if I could shape the granola in those little pancake shape thingies — the metal ones that you set on a griddle? I have a set of heart shaped ones . . . .
Oh! Heart-shaped would be perfect!
Kathy
What a lovely breakfast – who wouldn’t feel “special”!
OMG These look so good!! I love how simple yet beautiful they look. You just sold me the book!
Blessings,

It’s wonderful to spend time together as a couple and make every day special. We just watched the old Pride and Prejudice…it’s one of our favs! Enjoy your weekend my friend!
We thoroughly enjoy this time in our lives, we just came back from cleaning out a flower bed in the front of the Old Presbyterian church. We rent their fellowship building for our services. We enjoy working in the garden together.
Have a blessed weekend,
Katy
