A Jessica Siegel & Kid-Friendly Recipe
Serves 1 or many

Kids and adults will love this naturally sweet treat that can double as a dessert or a snack. The organic nectarines are excellent right now, but you can substitute organic peaches or conventionally grown nectarines or peaches if the organic is not available. You will need: A colander  ♦  A cutting board  ♦  A knife  ♦  A clear 12-ounce cup  ♦  A 4-cup measuring cup  ♦  A tablespoon Ingredients: 1 ripe organic nectarine - Fresh raspberries, preferably organic - Breyer's light vanilla bean ice cream - Kashi Seven in the Morning cereal Instructions: Peel any stickers off the nectarine and wash it under cold running water. Place about half of a package of raspberries in the colander and wash them under cold running water. Allow them to drain. Place the nectarine on the cutting board and use your knife to cut it in half along the ridge that goes all the way around. Be sure to cut carefully and all the way through to the pit. Use both hands to gently twist the two halves apart. Remove the pit from the fruit and slice each half into 4 wedges. Cut each wedge into about 4 pieces. Use your measuring cup to scoop up 4-cup of nectarine pieces and place them in the bottom of the cup. Use the same measuring cup to scoop 4 cup ice cream and place the ice cream in the cup on top of the nectarines. Fill the same measuring cup with the washed raspberries and place them on top of the ice cream. Use the tablespoon to measure out the cereal and sprinkle it over the raspberries. Scoop another 4 cup of nectarines, then ice cream, then raspberries, then nectarines into the cup. Measure one more tablespoon of cereal and sprinkle it on top of the fruit. Eat your parfait right away so it doesn't melt. * Children should be supervised by an adult.
