Easy Breakfast Rolls

These are so easy and so yummy! Make the night before, set out on your counter overnight, put in a cold oven for 30 minutes. How easy!!

Easy Breakfast Rolls
1 package frozen dinner rolls (the dough kind, uncooked)
1 package chopped pecans
1 stick of butter
cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 package butterscotch pudding (small package, cook and serve NOT instant)

Night before serving: Grease a bundt pan well. Sprinkle pecans on bottom. Generously sprinkle cinnamon on sides and bottom of pan. Place frozen rolls in two rows around bundt pan. Melt the butter and add the brown sugar and pudding (this is not cooked pudding, it is powder). Mix well and pour over rolls. Cover with aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature overnight.

Next Morning: Remove foil and place in cold oven. Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and invert onto a plate. Enjoy!!!

Beautiful Morning!!

What a beautiful sunrise this morning! I take the dogs for a run most mornings and decided to take a couple of pictures of the beauty I see along the way. The garage with the blanket of honeysuckle is just up the street from us. It is interesting to see how a covering of flowers make such a mundane object like the garage, a thing of beauty. I suppose snow does the same thing, but I will take the flowers. It should get into the 70's today. If you are not quite ready for Fall and Winter, our Summer is continuing. Come see us!!

Love Our Guests....

This was a lovely couple from Germany that stayed with us last week. Iris and Jens were such a delight. They stayed with us for a few days then went to see other parts of the Southwest. Jens also biked over 300 miles in the desert. They ended their trip with another stay with us before heading home. Thank you for staying with us and we hope you had a safe trip home! I will mail you the Pelican Cove engraved mugs as soon as I get them in!!

Cream of The Crop

Having a bed and breakfast often puts me in the position to try to accommodate dietary needs that I may be unfamiliar with. It is always a challenging educational experience when I have a guest arriving at our bed and breakfast that has certain restrictions or needs. For years, I have been relying on Cream of the Crop www.creamofthecropnatural.com for help in this department. They have such a wonderful selection of foods that accommodate gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and just about any other dietary restriction I may run into. I really appreciate the help they give when I walk in the door asking about a diet which I have no idea how to work with. They always know how to help. Next time you are in the neighborhood, stop by and see the wonderful selection of healthy items they have in their little market.

Pizza Port - "Tasty Grub and Grog"

My parents were visiting over this past week and we went to the local Pizza Port for dinner one evening. They do such a terrific job with their "grub and grog". The Party Pants Pilsner is and much fun to say as it is to drink. We had a wonderful time. Check out their web site www.pizzaport.com to see their menu and special events. This is within walking distance from the Inn which makes it convenient if you want to indulge in a few of their great brews. Join the Pizza Port for their Hoptoberfest.

Peanut Butter Cookies

This is simple recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies and it is delicious. It is funny how using a fork to make the criss cross on the top is something that brings back childhood memories for so many people.

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 1/4 cup flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 375. Stir together flour, soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture and beat until well combined. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Put on cookie sheet and criss cross with a fork. Bake about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!

Exactly How We Feel..

My Mom and Dad came to visit and Mom brought me this beautiful saying to put in the lobby. It is so perfect. Exactly the way we feel.

Sunny and 70...

Summer doesn't end. It is absolutely beautiful. The sky really is THAT blue. Come and enjoy Carlsbad this weekend. Rooms are still available.

Fish Tacos Are Awesome!!!!

Whenever we have guests that are new to this area and fish tacos are mentioned, the reaction is almost always the same..."Yuk! That doesn't even sound good!". But how wrong they are!! And when they give in, and give them a try, usually they are hooked (ha ha..no pun intended). Pelly's here is Carlsbad is a great deli style restaurant that specializes in all things seafood. It is definitely worth a try when you are in this area. Great place to get food to go and head to the beach. Check out their menu at www.pellysfish.com .
