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!

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

 

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! 

• 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

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!
