Happy Friday everyone! Nice to have the weekend here!I created this recipe for a little project I’m working on, that I’ll write about later and what a hit these were with my family. Fresh, cool and delicious for the summer!
I have been crazy for this Farmer’s Market in Mesa lately. I walk out with bags and bags of fresh produce for pennies, it’s awesome! If anyone is in Mesa, go to that Superstition market on Greenfield and Main, I love it! I bought 2 packages of strawberries for a whopping $1! Now who can pass that up!
And how cute are these little glasses. I was at Walmart and snatched them up. They were only 2 bucks. I think I’ll always be a bargain shopper!
I assure you the whole family will love this treat. Great for breakfast or just a midday snack. Hope you all enjoy!

These women are the best, I am grateful everday for them! Happy Birthday Cutie, had so much fun yesterday!Have a Great Weekend everyone!! Anyone else going to take the kids to see Wall-E?
These are so yummy. I am serving them to all our company that will be here for my daughter’s baby blessing this weekend. I am sure they will be in love as I am. I am also serving your Crockpot Green Chili Pork Tacos for the main dish. Thanks for planning my menu for me!! 🙂
I love the Superstition market! They have the cheapest fruit and veggies! Whenever I go to Mesa I have to stop at that store!
Mmm, looks perfectly summery!
What a pretty and tasty dessert. Plus, I love that they are a bargain shopper’s dream!
Mmm…I love strawberry shortcake. It reminds me of a dessert my Mom would prepare when I was younger. I love that you turned the shortcake into a parfait. What a great idea!
I love these! What a perfect little dessert!
Strawberry Shortcake is always good but with honey and yogurt…WOW!
This looks so delicious. Really want to try this one. Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite!
strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite summer time desserts 🙂 your parfait looks scrumptious!

HI Jen!
We had lots of laughs that day! You and Kim are so much fun. I am so lucky to have you two for my daughters! Your picky palate dishes are simply scrumptious! You bring lots of joy into the lives of others with your talents! Keep it up girl! Love you…Mona
That looks cool and fresh and good!
What a fun lunch we had for mom’s b-day…I’m SO glad we did it! Lets make these treats for Sunday dinner, huh??? Oh wait, we’ll probably have birthday cake, never mind…maybe next time!

Happy b-day to your mom!
Love the idea of combining strawberries and vanilla yoghurt!
Definitly some good genes in your family! Your sister looks like a model, your Mom looks like she’s your sister, you’re gorgeous,and grandma looks great!
Happy birthday Mom!
The parfaits look delicious! Such a creative way to use strawberries.
Yummy parfaits. What a beautiful picture and beautiful women! Today my 2 children went to see WallE with the swim team. My 10 year old daughter said it was boring and a few moms said they fell asleep (But don’t tell anyone:)
My six year old son really liked it so I guess it is more for younger children. Have a great weekend!
Jenny I smiled so much because I am such a bargin shopper too. 😀 These look such beauties and so yummy!
Hi Deborah, sounds like you are enjoying your strawberries, I’ve got another package in the fridge to use up.
HI Shannon,
Hope the family enjoys! I’ll have to check out those steaks!
Thanks Zen!
Hi Kimberly, How fun, where on earth is a U-pick farm? I want one!
Yummy! I think I might have to try these with the strawberries we picked at a u-pick farm recently. I too LOVE farmer’s markets! Fun stuff!
You are all gorgeous-looking on that picture. And the strawberry yogurt parfait is just as beautiful! 🙂
Yummy treats, Jenny! These look sweet and berry-licious!
I think I’ll make them this weekend to go along with Prudy’s steaks!
🙂
These sound delicious. My in-laws brought us a huge bucket of strawberries, so I’ve been eating them like crazy lately!
Thanks My Sweet and Saucy,
Nothing like a great deal on strawberries! So nice for summer too.
Shanda,
What a cool job your husband has! Your kids probably have the coolest stuff from all the movies!
Strawberry shortcake is such a great dish to serve for the summer, go to that Superstition Market off of Greenfield and Main to get your strawberries, it will save you lots.
I am cracking up.
Kennedy’s baptism is tomorrow and I was planning on making strawberry shortcake for a summer dessert.
I probably will just buy pound cake or the little cakes, because I don’t have cute dishes. I needed cheap strawberries though. I think I am also going to make some quick no bake cookies for the chocaholics.
I want to go see Wall-E if we have time. My husband is an animator for pixar, so it’s fun to see what he does for these movies.
Great looking dessert! Can’t believe you got those strawberries for only $1!!!
Thanks Prudy! I loved that parfait from the PBO! Have a great weekend!
Hi Hallie,
I bet your kids would love to go!
Hi clumbsy cookie,
I know, what the heck was I thinking not including chocolate, peanut butter and bananas in this?!!
Hi Pasty,
So glad to have you here. Hope you’ll find some fun new ideas for your family!
Hi Sharon,
Isn’t it the best to find great produce for a good deal. I love it!
Hi Binks family,
I know, I totally wish we lived closer! My dad is a lucky man isn’t he!!
Hi Krissy,
Send me an email and I’ll go and I’ll see if I have any of those cookbooks left. It is a great book. Thanks for vising Picky Palate so often!!
Jenny, These look super scrumptious. I’m so happy for the winners of your contest, but I’m dying to have a copy of your ward cookbook. Is there even a remote chance of buying one??? They look darling and if you were the one that put them together I’m sure they’re loaded with wonderful goodies to try and make. I love your blog!! I’m embarrassed by how often I look at it. Have a great weekend. P.S. What an adorable picture of your Mom and all of you. Cute! Cute!
Krissy
Uncle John is lucky to have such a pretty wife and pretty daughters! Tell your mom Happy Birthday for me! She was always so much fun to be around at the family gatherings when we were growing up, wish we all lived close so we could get together!
These look yummy & healthy! I just picked up a pack of huge, fresh strawberries on the cheap too so I might have to try this out.
You’ve got a great looking family! 🙂
Jenny,
I was just introduced to your blog today. I have really enjoyed reading your postings & recipes. I can’t wait to try some of them! I love to cook & am willing to try anything new. (And I am lucky enough to have a husband that will EAT anything new!) 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas & I look forward to reading more!
Jenny,
I was just introduced to your blog today. I really enjoyed reading the recipes you have to offer! I love to cook & am willing to try anything new (and my husband is willing to EAT anything new…. aren’t I lucky?) I can’t wait to try some of these recipes. I’m thrilled to find new ideas!
What’s the matter with you? There’s no chocolate in this recipe… Just kidding, it’s great! can’t wait to read about that project. Oh and you do have a cute mom!
Wonder if I can talk my 14 or 18 year old into going to see that movie with me?
If not, can I go with you?
Hallie 🙂
What a gorgeous family! Happy Birthday to your mom. The parfaits look great, too. My kids got really into the yogurt/granola bar/ fruit parfait after PBO 2004.
