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.

Greek Salad
Summer time screams tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and basil….all fresh from the gardens at the B&B. This Greek Salad is a favorite and equally delicious as a side or the main course. Paired with crusty bread, herb butter, glass of vino and you have a feast!
Put together equal parts of chunked tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, whole black olives, fresh mozzarella balls or cubes, bite sized strips of fresh basil. Mix 1/3 balsamic vinegar with 2/3 good quality olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over vegies. Toss to mix. Garnish with basil flowers and serve. Be sure not to overdress the salad….you can always serve extra dressing on the side. This salad is great to adjust to your own taste buds by adding whatever you have on hand that is fresh and creating your own version of summer salad. Fresh edible flower buds are a great addition as well as herb fronds such as fennel, thyme flowers, and Fiddle Head buds.

Dream of coffee, clouds of whipped cream and mascarpone cheese, sandwiched in between soft pillows of lady fingers and coffee liqueur? We love Tiramisu but wanted a version we could make and eat in the same evening and one that didn’t depend on Lady Fingers, given that we live in a small, country town. This recipe (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. (more…)

White Chocolate-Walnut-Cranberry Bread
Basic bread is a mixture of flour, liquid and a leavening agent that transforms into crusty, earthy goodness when baked. With the addition of beer, this hearty quick bread develops a yeasty flavor typically found in yeast breads and its’ substance from the addition of white chocolate chips, toasted walnuts and chewy cranberries. We serve it at the B&B toasted plain for breakfast, soaked in a custard and baked for french toast, and toasted and topped with natural peanut butter and bananas for a great sandwich. Any way you choose to eat it, it is darn good! Easy to prepare as well, so give it a go. The walnuts give an additional boost of protein. You can omit the nuts, cranberries and chocolate and substitute cheese and herbs for a savory dinner bread……. (more…)
