This simple beginner recipe is a terrific introduction to bread baking. Conveniently, it makes two loaves, so you can serve one right away and freeze the other for later. If you freeze your bread, let it cool completely before slicing so that it stays nice and moist.
A healthy breakfast should provide eight to 10 grams of fibre to get you on target to meet daily requirements. Here's a tasty way to get some of it — in muffins you can freeze. By the time you arrive at school or work, your portable breakfast will be thawed. Or reheat a muffin in the microwave.
Even something as familiar as granola is dramatically more delicious at the inn. Serve with homemade vanilla yogurt topping or store-bought.
A glass of this traditional warm, spiced red wine is a great way to greet guests. Prepare it just before they arrive, to fill your house with the heady scents of the season.
Flecked with colourful fruit, this crunchy granola is great any time of day. However, top it with ricotta, yogurt or milk and it's a perfect breakfast.
