Even something as familiar as granola is dramatically more delicious at the inn. Serve with homemade vanilla yogurt topping or store-bought.
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.
Dogs will lick up every last crumb of these crunchy peanut butter-flavoured biscuits created by Nicole Young. Plus the fresh mint and parsley help freshen their breath, too. For a small dog, use a smaller cutter.
Nothing beats a home-style crumble at the end of a Sunday meal. Serve warm with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Vegetables and cheese turn a meat loaf into a one-dish meal. Make use of the hot oven to bake potatoes, too.
Classic cookies are always a summer weekend favourite and easy for even a non-baking guest to make. Save some to bake into another treat, Fudgy Cookie Brownies, for a completely different sweet.
