"When we visit our daughter at Amherst College in Massachusetts, my husband and I stay at The Lord Jeffery Inn," says Caroline I. Cameron of Washington, D.C.."The granola at breakfast is terrific.

This granola can also be enjoyed as a snack with the addition of chocolate chips. You could sprinkle it over ice cream, too.
