Spinach Strudel
by BnB Finder March 19th, 2013 | Best B&B Bites, Recipes
Years ago, I somewhat dubiously baked up a recipe I'd found for strudel filled with pears -- and blue cheese. My doubts were put to rest when it turned out to be delicious. Strudel's not just for dessert -- and this week's recipe also proves that spinach can be delicious. Coming to us from the Orchard Inn near the historic village of Saluda, North Carolina, this dish combines fresh (or frozen) spinach with tangy vegetables, cheddar and cream cheeses, and eggs. They're all baked together in a crispy crust of ready-made puff pastry for a rich, filling
Roasted Vegetable Polenta

No oven's required for these roasted vegetables -- dice them finely and they'll cook up quickly with a few minutes in sizzling butter. Peppers, onions, mushrooms, shallots, and garlic combine with the humble carrot to add zing to a comforting dish of polenta (be sure to use instant!) and cheese of your choice. This recipe comes to us from the Whitestone Country Inn on the shores of Watts Bar Lake in Kingston, Tennessee. Try this for a weekend lunch or meatless supper.

Maple Mac & Cheese with Pancetta

Macaroni and cheese, a go-to dish for a quick dinner in lots of families, gets a little more attention, plus touches of both sweet and smoky flavors, in this recipe from the Cabernet Inn B&B in North Conway, New Hampshire. National Cheese Lover’s Day is coming up on January 20th -- but this would be a good cooking project and a comforting, filling supper for any cold winter weekend evening. If you haven't tried cooking with pancetta or panko before, see how they can add a welcome crispness to a pasta dish like this.

Christmas Breakfast
by TT December 10th, 2012 | Breakfast Dishes, Recipes
On Christmas morning, breakfast often becomes a distant thought. The kids are immersed in opening and enjoying new presents. Parents are busy watching, photographing, and videotaping the morning's events. Of course, gift wraps and gifts can appease the appetite for only so long. Then it becomes time to find some real sustenance. However, who wants to undertake the process of cooking a big breakfast when this is the perfect morning to enjoy?

Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich
by TT Jr. November 28th, 2012 | Recipes, Sandwiches
I thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving. It is a holiday dedicated to just giving back. A time when the whole family can get together and celebrate without expecting to receive anything but food and love. It is the one holiday that brings everyone together. It doesn't matter if you rarely see each other, the whole family still gets together and eats a home cooked meal without caring about who can give the best presents. The other great thing is how much food there is leftover. Nobody ever knows what to do with it, but my favorite thing is to make sandwiches.
