Tiramisu Recipe Brenham TX Ranch Class
Thursday, June 10th, 2010
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…)
Honey Bees Texas Ranch
Monday, May 17th, 2010
It is that time of year when honey bees start their job pollinating garden vegetables, flowers and making more honey. A new swarm was discovered recently at the ranch and a local beekeeper came to collect them for a new honey box. It was all very interesting…. We use lots of local honey at the B&B in our cooking, classes and in our own home. Not only is it a natural sweetener but it is also highly antibacterial and medicinal….being used in early pioneer times to heal cuts and wounds to the body among other things!

Birding Near Brenham TX B&B
Thursday, April 15th, 2010
Our local birding expert and tour guide, Darrell Vollert, conducted another successful bird banding workshop recently where a variety of birds including a female Cedar Waxwing and an immature Sharp-shinned Hawk were caught and banded. The hawk was chasing a waxwing when it was netted in the woods. Workshop participant Phil held the hawk while we took pictures of the bird. Another bird banding workshop will be held in early June. Mist nets will be set up in the Navasota River bottom and the focus will be on nesting flycatchers, vireos, warblers, and buntings. Be sure to book your lodging now so as not to miss this event. You do not have to be experienced to attend. Darrell is a wonderful instructor and guide.
