Granola and Raspberry Parfait

PB040148

Making granola is very simple. Mix rolled oats, honey, spices (eg cinnamon) and dried fruit onto a baking tray and bake in the oven until crispy. Then serve on top of yoghurt and some kind of fruit (I chose raspberry jam) and you’ve got yourself a treat!

Butternut Squash Bread!

This bread is baked out of Butternut Squash, Carrots and Apples. Odd you say? Tasty I say!

Served just with margarine or a bit of honey is perfect. You could even add some cheese (if German cheese was nice)
