Ooh La la Parfaits!

 January has come in with grey skies, it's winter but who says it needs to be boring? We're biding our time to May when we open again ~ so in the meantime...


Want to dazzle your guests or your family or maybe just treat yourself?  Breakfast parfaits are super easy....


Here are a few tips -

  • Check Pinterest for overnight oat inspirations - oats are add a great nutritional component to the start of your day.  Super easy to make AND a great breakfast BUT also a great lunch.  Make ahead to save time in the morning!
  • Use fresh fruit - OR - use frozen fruit and make an easy compote to top your parfait
  • Other fun toppings are brown sugar and pecans, peanut butter and bananas, candied pecans and butterscotch topping or even your favourite jam or jelly - use your imagination!
  • Best of all - make breakfast an experience - use that special glass or parfait dish that you've tucked away!  Presentation is half the fun and...you deserve the best!

Pina Colada Parfait

Our Pina Coloda Parfait was inspired in the dead of winter as we reminisced about our days in the sunny Caribbean, toes in the sand with a frosty drink in our hands.
This addition to our 2022 breakfast menu was an immediate hit with our guests. Super easy to make and will be a real crowd pleaser in your home!


Ingredients - yield is for 2 so double up if you have more people
> 1 slice fresh pineapple cut just less then 1" thick 

> 1 tbsp brown sugar

> 1/2 tsp butter

> 1 tsp rum 

> 1/4 cup shredded coconut

> 1 tbsp yoghurt


To Make:
1. Cut pineapple into 8 even pieces - add to pan with melted butter - keep pan to a medium heat, not too hot

2. Sprinkle brown sugar over pineapple, stir and heat until brown sugar is melted

3. Add rum, stir and take off of heat

4. Arrange 4 pieces of pineapple on each plate, half moon 

5. Put yoghurt in centre of the plate

6. Sprinkle coconut over the plate 

7. Drizzle brown sugar over the pineapple 

8. Enjoy!


Check in next month for another yummy recipe AND for what's NEW in 2023!  You're going to love it!

 

february 2022

I don't know about you, but January seemed to hang on forever and yet here we are, finally into February.  Of course February is the month of love but like many of you, February also has meant a trip to the sunny and may I add warm south.


Mexico has been a favorite for Bob & I and we've been fortunate to travel there quite a few times.  For me, aside from the sun and pool and the amazing people, Mexico means great food.  Even at home we often enjoy something Mexican and with great resources on the internet now, it's even easier than ever to find yummy recipes to experiment with.


So in light of my dreaming of being in Mexico I thought for this month I would share a recipe that we've tried and love.  What I love especially is that you make this the day before and that makes your morning that much more enjoyable.  


This Mexican Breakfast Casserole is an amazing and packed with cheesy eggs, spicy chorizo and peppers. Make this hearty, flavorful breakfast or even for brunch any day of the week! 


Ingredients for overnight breakfast casserole

  • olive oil
  • onion
  • green pepper
  • garlic
  • chorizo
  • homemade or packaged taco seasoning
  • corn
  • black beans
  • plum tomatoes
  • corn tortillas
  • shredded cheese (Mexican style)
  • eggs
  • milk


Look to the right hand corner for the prep details - remember you can be as creative as you want to be!  Enjoy

Happy New Year!

What a year 2021 was for all of us!  For Bob & I opening our B&B was a highlight.  It's humbling to see your vision and dream come to fruition.  That in large part to our amazing guests and support from our community.


So as we move into the new year, winter is upon us and rest assured we're testing out new breakfast menu ideas.  I'm so excited to have a few new items on our menu.


For January we thought that we might inspire you with WAFFLES!  Yes waffles are a big hit and Oh so E-Z to create and will definitely add the wow factor to your breakfast table, or even lunch or dinner! 


1. Consider buying a waffle maker but if you don't have one you can easily buy ready made waffles usually found near the bakery in your grocery store.

2. You can change up waffles to be sweet or savory - let your imagination go wild.  

  • Sweet adds can be candied pecans, fresh strawberries or blueberries or raspberries, whipped cream, Bourbon cranberries, and of course maple syrup!     
  • Savory can be fun too - think adding bacon, cremini mushrooms, smoked salmon, chorizo and sprinkle with a favourite cheese


We serve up some fun waffle dishes at our B&B, just let us serve up our waffles for you!


When you're at home, simply let your imagination take charge, check the attached link and enjoy!

December 2021

December is upon us....

The Bruce Peninsula has seen a wonderful fall season with amazing weather and temps but Mr. Winter has arrived. It’s been grey and a little snowy but we’re all wrapped up outside so bring it on!  There has already been sightings of the great Snowy Owl in the area as well…I saw a few last year, truly spectacular so here’s hoping that I’ll be lucky this winter.


Bob & I have also begun thinking about some new recipes for 2022 – We will be experimenting this winter (keeps us busy!) to find just perfect additions to our menus.


Think pineapple and rum.…just what we need this time of year! Plus we’re experimenting with crepes…more to come!


With the holidays just around the corner, this amazing Cinnamon Swirl Bread recipe is perfect for Christmas morning brunch or when you're entertaining!


Maybe you’ve had it (yum) and if not, when you visit just ask and I’ll get Bob back in the kitchen to whip this one up for you!

Again, we work using some favorite recipes and find ways to modify however this particular recipe stands well on it’s own.


With that said don’t be afraid to get creative by adding chopped pecans, maybe some raisins, sugar icing or simply toasting the bread adding your favourite jam or honey.


What ever you decide, we hope it turns out yummy - let us know on Facebook or Instagram! Or, better yet, come visit us and Bob will bake it for you!  No muss no fuss!

It's Closing Time...

What a year 2021 has been! Opening our B&B left us a little anxious wondering whether or not our vision would meet and even exceed our guests expectations!  And so it did, at least the lovely notes left by guests, Trip Advisor reviews and heartfelt good byes at the end of people's stays told us so.


So...now we're closed for the season and that leaves us with time to share (as requested by guests) some of our favorite recipes and winter musings as we look to 2022. Our recipes are often our own creative take of other recipes that we trial and error over winter....after all it's pretty quite up on the Bruce during winter so why not experiment in the kitchen!  So in turn feel free to put your own spin on our recipes (our feelings won't be hurt!), add or delete ingredients as you wish!


I thought that we would start with one of our popular breakfasts - Birds Nest.  An apropos breakfast given we are blessed with so many wonderful birds all around us!


BIRDS NEST 

  • 4 EGGS - MEDIUM SIZE IS BEST
  • HASBROWNS - WE USE ALREADY SHREDED 
  • CHEESE - ANY KIND, 1/2 TSP PER SERVING
  • PAM SPRAY
  • DEEP, LARGE SIZED MUFFIN TIN

Pre heat oven to 400 F 

  • Spray your muffin tin with Pam, then evenly divide the hash browns. Firmly press into the bottom/sides of the muffin cups making a little 'nest'.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until tips of hash browns are browned
  • Remove from oven & rack an egg into each of the muffin cups
  • Add your desired combination of fillings to the muffin cups - we use shredded cheese but you could use anything like salsa, chopped spinach or bell pepper
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes depending whether you use medium or large sized eggs
  • To remove the 'nest', use a large spoon and gently loosen around the edges and lift out ~ enjoy with bacon, or ham on the side! 


Find our recipe inspiration link above.
