Let me start off with a surprising truth for y’all. Until today I had never tried Tapioca. {Gasp!} I know, I know and I call myself a foodie, right? My husband is a fan and so is my Dad and I enjoy similar puddings like rice pudding but I had never really been interested in tasting Tapioca. But since today is National Tapioca Pudding Day I figured today was as good as any to give it a try and I purchased a container of Kozy Shack’s® Tapioca Pudding.
And you know what? It is delicious. Yummy in my tummy. 
  Oh, sweet Tapioca where have you been all my life?!
Tapioca is smooth and creamy and cool and sweet all in one. Seriously the perfect summer treat! I could eat the whole container just as it is but I decided to jazz it up and make a simple Tropical Tapioca and Fruit Parfait for dessert tonight.
You start with a couple generous scoops of tapioca, add caramelized pineapple, fresh mango, toasted coconut, and crushed macadamia nuts. How refreshing and tasty does that sound? 
I am lovin’ this summer treat and I know I will make many more Tapioca Parfaits this summer!  We are so blessed to have Ashton home and I treasure every moment with my two sweet girls and hubby! 
Remember life is short- eat dessert first! 

Kozy Shack® is hosting the Summer of Pudding – a three- month celebration dedicated to enjoying the simple moments in life and making moments even more delicious with Kozy Shack® Pudding.

📦 Unpacking forever and ever....
Everyone keeps asking if we are settled yet. Nope. Still sorting, unpacking,  donating, rearranging, organizing, and eating a cookie every now and then.
