Herb Cooking Class Luncheon for Batten Foundation Auction

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

I was so pleased to  be able to donate an herb cooking class luncheon benefiting the Luke and Rachel Batten Foundation recently.   This  rare childhood disease for which there is currently no cure,  is extremely brutal and robs children of a full life span.  The foundation raises money for research and awareness to give these children and their families a ray of hope during their battle.  Thanks go out to that special group of Chappell Hill women who purchased the cooking class luncheon and came to the B&B for the special event!

We started off the class (more…)

 Fun, fun, fun and lots of good food……that’s how our cooking classes are described by our participants.   We just finished up another great weekend of cooking, harvesting, shopping at the Farmers’ Markets, visiting and most of all tasting and eating our way through many dishes.  One of the favorites was the Roasted Fresh Fruit Tart made with buttery puff pastry and fresh peaches, plums and berries procured at the Farmers Market!

Brenham Texas is known for its’ history, architecture, wineries, Blue Bell ice cream, shopping, restaurants and famous Fall and Spring antiques fairs.  True antique hunters also know we also have  several  antique shows throughout the year here locally.  At the most recent Summer show, held at the KC Hall just a couple miles from the Bed and Breakfast, I procured a new treasure that has already found a home on my pine harvest table.  This English Copper Warming Tray has a beautiful patina from years of service.  It will be put back in service during many of our Foodie events and cooking class adventures.

Texas B&B Antique Roses, Herbs & Spring Gardens

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Our gardens at the ranch are worked year round so that we and our guests can enjoy being outside and the wild birds have plenty of food, water, hiding places and nesting material!  We had a great flush  this past Spring after the hard freezes of the winter helped put nature back in balance with growth patterns, weeds and bugs.  We use of a lot of the flowers, herbs and fruits in our cooking classes and food preparation.  There is nothing better than “farm fresh”.  We encourage all our guests and cooking class participants to use anything they can find locally and fresh from the farmers markets and meat markets…..Some great photos of some of  our flowers and herbs: (more…)

White Chocolate-Walnut-Raisin Custard French Toast

For your French Toast afficionados, this breakfast treat served at the B&B for breakfast, brunch or dinner is a dish to look forward to with anticipation.  It is hearty enough to suffice for any meal and will keep you full til the next meal.  So many recipes for french toast are just fluff with no substance.  The heartiness of the homemade bread is the key to the deep flavor and texture of this french toast.  This french toast will get you going for the day……carbs and protein in  every bite!  (Be sure to use our recipe for the homemade bread found  under our recipes….it is the key ingredient in  this  recipe!)  We serve this french toast with our housemade venison ranch sausage at the B&B but your favorite sausage or peppered bacon will be equally good paired up.
