Its Too Hot To Cook: Strawberry Banana Parfaits

 Happy Friday everyone! Here's another its too hot to cook recipe but dessert style! Sometimes you gotta step away from the hot oven and make a simple and classic dessert that's cool and wont make you sweat in your kitchen. Ive been trying to use more agave nectar so if you have some definitely try it out in a few of your recipes that call for sugar! I hope you all enjoy the weekend and I'll see you around very soon =]
