It's a 3 layer dessert...the creamy layer: yogurt, whipped cream, custard, pudding, mascarpone, or ice cream---the strawberry layer: fresh sliced berries, macerated berries with syrupy juices, or a quick strawberry compote--and finally a crunchy layer: granola, toasted nuts, crushed cookies, ladyfingers, cake cubes, cereal, or even toasted coconut. Because they are so popular, special tall glasses were invented for serving parfaits so that they are also a visual treat. Of course you can use any berry you like...but strawberries are at the peak of their season and fresh strawberries provide about 50 calories per cup yet deliver high amounts of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and polyphenols.

The French settlers brought their recipe into Louisiana, an area of the United States where both sugar cane and pecan trees were plentiful. During the 19th century, New Orleans chefs substituted pecans for almonds, added cream to thicken the confection, and thus creating what is known throughout the Southern United States as the praline. A trip might be in order to truly appreciate the pralines American origins. Learn about the history of pralines on a walking tour in New Orleans' French Quarter, the birthplace of pralines in the United States.

Muscles tighten, headaches creep in, and focus slips away. Dehydration can also increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Even mild dehydration can leave you sluggish and out of sync. The body relies on fluids to regulate temperature, digest food, and keep joints moving smoothly. Elevate your hydration by adding lemons, strawberries, or cucumbers and let them steep in your water. This not only enhances taste but also makes drinking more enjoyable. and don't forget to keep your pets hydrated too!! Fresh water every day is essential for them too!!
