As the weather gets warmer, you may be looking for a summer soft drink that's extra refreshing and just a little different. Well, this week we've got one for you: Watermelon Punch from Big Mill B&B in Williamston, North Carolina. There's a whole watermelon in this bowlful of punch -- with orange juice concentrate and lemon-lime soda adding a touch of citrus flavor. An ice ring, made in advance with soda and fresh fruit, makes this special enough for a party, outdoors or in. Big Mill offers "country luxury" in the midst of farmland, forest, and gardens,
Savory Parmesan French Toast
by BnB Finder May 14th, 2013 | Best B&B Bites, Recipes
Yes, French toast is wonderful as a sweet breakfast dish -- but it doesn't have to be sweet, and for that matter, it doesn't have to be just for breakfast. Today's recipe adds parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper flavors to the classic bread and eggs, then tops the toast with green salad and poached eggs. This dish would make a great supper. It comes to us from the Maine Stay Inn & Cottages in Kennebunkport, where you can stay in a historic 1860 house (or retreat to a private cottage), explore the town, and of course enjoy

Maybe sometimes you get a craving for Pop Tarts, but you know they're not exactly good for you. Maybe you'd like a weekend baking project to do with your kids (or all by yourself). This recipe is a fun alternative to cookies. Unlike commercial toaster pastries, it uses organic fruit in the filling -- and not a ton of preservatives. Finish up with a drizzle of white chocolate following the easy directions. Just be sure to leave time for chilling -- one 30-minute session for the dough and 20 minutes in the freezer for the unbaked tarts. That's one

Pecan Pie Bars
by BnB Finder April 23rd, 2013 | Best B&B Bites, Recipes
This week's recipe puts all the taste of pecan pie into a cookie. (Which is great if you ever get a longing for pecan pie, as I do, having lived in Texas. It's also great if you don't want all the sugar and calories of a whole piece of pie, as I don't.) Coming from the Barn Inn in Millersburg, in Ohio's Amish country, these bars combine a rich bottom layer with a simple, but delicious, traditional topping of pecans, brown sugar, and corn syrup. If your family likes nuts, these will be great for snacks or
