I went in to make breakfast this morning and found my blueberry grk yoghurts were gone, and in their place was KEY LIME extra thick and rich greek yog.
I was not happy, I made this monstrously weird parfait, with a variety of fruit and nuts and trying to disguise the key lime yogh. Using things I had not planned on using!
The guests liked it.
DH was lucky he was not around this morning, or I would have worn him out! He said on I.M. "Um, maybe I took them...".
Way to use what's on hand!
Question regarding parfaits - do you find the guest prefer a premade parfait over a buffet style with yogurt, fruit and granola all available?
I was actually wondering this morning if people would like parfaits and then I saw your post. (9 days until we take ownership!)

We make and serve everything, no buffet. A buffet is too much work to set up and keep stocked. Of course, it depends on how many rooms you have and what the style of the inn is.

6 rooms. Continetal breakfast only. (no restaurant license.)
The Current owner does a buffet with bread or muffins, fruit, yogurt and cereal. We are going to expand a little with granola. I thought parfaits might be fun on a Sunday or holiday to make it look special, but wondered if people prefer to make their own.

Make them up and set them out on the buffet, if possible. See how it goes.
Here's a tip if the buffet has a 'start' area (like where you pick up the plates) - put the cheap items first and the expensive items last. (ie- bread first, fruit last).
I have been using dessert cups from Libbey called Just Desserts. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17095790 12 to a box, they come with their own spoon. (kinda cheapo spoons but they work with these cups) The cups hold about 5.3 ozs so a big savings over using big bowls. I didn't get the flared ones, I got the straight sided ones because they have to fit in the dishwasher.
