Surprise!!! Happy Virtual Baby Shower, Caroline!
I am super pumped today to celebrate Caroline and her soon-to-be second bundle of joy due in a few weeks! Caroline is the talented author behind the gorgeous and delicious food blog, Chocolate and Carrots.
Caroline is a true gem. I met Caroline at BlogHer Food Austin back in 2013. I was just getting my feet wet on the blogging scene when we started chatting it up at the Zip List party. We talked about everything under the sun, especially the in’s and out’s of Charleston because I was headed there on vacay after the conference and that’s where she is from!
Caroline is as nice as the day is long and her warm personality shines through in her food. Um, hello, Snickerdoodle Donuts, Asian Turkey Meatball Soup, and Slow Cooker Apple Chicken Sandwiches. I am getting hungry just thinking about all of these delicious treats! Plus, her photography is simply stunning and so inspiring!
So today, a bunch of two-snaps up food bloggers and I are throwing Caroline a virtual baby shower full of citrus love! Since we are in the prime of grapefruit season, I thought a simple, yet flavorful breakfast parfait would be the perfect dish for a busy mom. Quinoa, honey granola, Greek Yogurt, fresh grapefruit slices, and mint piled high is the best way to start the morning. Plus, these can be made ahead of time so there’s no fuss!
Make sure and check out the rest of the baby shower spread from some fabulous food bloggers!

“In conclusion, our Quinoa Granola Parfaits with Grapefruit offer a harmonious blend of flavors, providing a refreshing and nutritious conclusion to your delightful breakfast experience.“
This looks like such an awesomely healthy breakfast! And like you said, perfect for the busy, citrus-craving mom. 🙂 I recently bought a grapefruit for the first time and have yet to eat it (I admit to being a little leery of it). Now I’m excited to try it out after reading all these grapefruit posts!
HA! I totally was leery of it too. I will say it takes some getting used to, but in a parfait, it’s a win-win situation! Thanks for putting this baby shower together!
Aww such a nice event! Annnnnd such a nice recipe!! Love it!
Ahh so much fun!! Congrats to Caroline on her 2nd baby! This citrus breakfast is a perfect way to celebrate.
For some reason I never think to pair grapefruit with yogurt but this parfait looks so good and refreshing! What a pretty breakfast treat.
Lauren, this is such a happy surprise! Thank you so much for the beautiful and citrus inspired baby shower! I’m embarrassed to admit how much grapefruit I’ve consumed over the last few weeks. It’s one of my favorites right now, making these parfaits absolutely perfect! I never would have thought of mixing in quinoa, either! Such a beautifully balanced breakfast to start the day. Plus, I’m ALL for the make-ahead meals these days.
Thank you again for all of your wonderfully kind words and for the beautiful surprise! I can’t believe baby #2 will be here so soon! 🙂
You are most welcome, Caroline!! xoxo
Now this would get me out of bed in the morning (PS. Congrats Caroline!)
I pretty much love anything with pink grapefruit. I am totally digging the idea of using quinoa in a yogurt parfait. Brilliant! Congratulations, Caroline!
Yogurt parfaits are my favorite breakfast, lunch or snack. But I never would have thought to add quinoa to one! Love this idea and I bet that nutty, soft flavor is perfect here! Can’t wait to try it out. xoxo
This parfaits are perfect for anytime and especially a baby shower. Love Caroline.
Love these! Parfaits are the best and I love that you put quinoa in it!
These photos!! That grapefruit!! Girl. You’re good.
So totally sweet for the sweetie on the way!! Adore!
What a great way to start the day! Love everything about these, especially the use of quinoa in a parfait. Sounds perfect!
Delish! Great recipe for a shower!!
Mmm this is perfect for a shower!
Yay! Happy day, Caroline! This parfait looks dreamy!
This is so pretty!!! I want this for breakfast!
These parfaits look absolutely delicious…Now, if I can just find the perfect grapefruit!
Hey there pretty breakfast thang! I’m coming for you. 🙂
