It may be difficult to believe that a strong flying ace would name his business “Mimi’s”. However, that’s exactly the case with Arthur J. Simms who opened Mimi’s Café in 1970s. During World War II, Simms flew all over France for spy missions and assisted in liberating a French town close to Versailles. After WW II, Arthur Simms operates the commissary at MGM Studios, making big-time celebrities such as Clark Gable, Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney richer. Later on, Simms joined forces with his son, Tom, in some of his restaurant business enterprises such as the “French Quarter” in Western Hollywood. This restaurant is actually the archetype for the French-style Mimi’s Café. The first Mimi’s Café was officially launched in 1978 in Anaheim, California. Now, there are more than 40 chains, all of which serves this wonderful onion soup that you can easily learn with this simple recipe.

McDonald’s Yogurt Parfait

Sunday, August 22, 2010
Posted by miemhai

 

This McDonald’s recipe is very simple to make. Aside from that, it’s also very yummy and low-fat! The yogurt used in the original version is very creamy and sweet, much like Yoplait. Because of that, this version will use that brand. However, you can use any vanilla yogurt brand you like. If you’re going to use Yoplait, however, you will be needing two Yoplait containers (6-oz) for each serving. For the granola ingredient, you should use the kind with a lot of oats in it. This recipe should have that sweet (like maple flavor) and crunchy. Using puffed rice bits is also advised. You may even make this recipe ahead of time, about one or two days before. Just simply put it in a covered container and put it in the fridge. Just make sure you don’t put the granola topping until you will going to serve it, or else the granola topping will get soggy.

 

Serves: 3


Ingredients:

4 c low-fat yogurt, vanilla flavor (or 8 containers of Yoplait, 6-oz)

½ c sweet and crunchy granola

1/3 c thawed blueberries

2 boxes of thawed and sliced strawberries with added sugar (10-oz)

 

Procedure:

1. Pour half cup of yogurt to a parfait cup or a tall glass.
