I was recently in Chicago for a culinary conference. I went to breakfast with one of the publicists from my TV show, Healthy Decadence. Though I normally read every word on every menu presented to me (a definite foodie quirk!), I was a bit distracted preparing for a TV appearance. When the waiter came along and asked Anna what she'd like, she said, "The Vanilla Strawberry Breakfast Sundae." Intrigued (and surprised I had missed it), I couldn't wait to see her plate. It was quite disappointing really, but it set my wheels turning. It sounded (sounded, in this case, being the operative word) like something I'd want to eat. So being true to my near obsession with chocolate, I tweaked it, and then added some chocolate. My friends and I have since eaten this three-minute-throw-together breakfast over and over.

If you prefer not to eat artificially sweetened yogurt, you don't have to. Substituting a low-fat (I haven't seen it in fat free), naturally sweetened one adds 70 to 80 calories and 2 grams of fat to this dish.
