Inn at Stockbridge, Stockbridge, MA www.BnBFinder.com/Stockbridge Ingredients: 8 eggs 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 Tbs. triple sec 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest 8 thick slices good-quality brioche bread 4 Tbs. unsalted butter Confectioner’s sugar Pure maple syrup Fresh fruit for garnish Directions: In a large shallow bowl beat eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the cream, vanilla, orange zest and triple sec. Place the bread pieces in the bowl. Turn gently until evenly soaked. In a large frying pan or griddle, over medium heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter. Add half of the bread pieces and fry until the undersides are golden, about 2 minutes. Cut 1 Tbs. of the butter into several pieces and add to the pan. Flip the bread with a spatula and fry until the second sides are brown about 2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining bread and butter. Place on warmed individual plates. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar. Serve hot with maple syrup. Garnish with fresh fruit and mint. Bulgarian Potatoes
Greenock House, Orange, VA www.BnBFinder.com/GreenockHouse Ingredients: 1 medium potato per person (red skin Yukon potatoes work well) Dash olive oil 1/2 Tbs. butter Seasoning to taste. (A favorite of the inn is Szegeo Brand Chicken Rub or Steak Rub. When in season, fresh chopped herbs are wonderful.) Directions: Wash potatoes. Cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes. Heat a high sided skillet with a dash of olive oil. Add the potatoes and toss to coat with oil. When coated, add water to fill about halfway up the potatoes and put on the lid to steam. Check the pan often to make sure the water has not cooked away completely and add more if needed. Potatoes are done steaming when you can slide a fork in easily. (There should be very little, if any, water left at this point.) Remove the lid and add the butter, tossing to coat the potatoes. Add the seasoning of your choice now and toss a little more to distribute it. Cook without stirring for a few minutes until the bottom of the potatoes start to get golden and crisp. Toss every few minutes until the potatoes reach the crispness you prefer. Holladay Family Buttermilk Biscuits
Holladay House Bed and Breakfast, Orange, VA www.BnBFinder.com/HolladayHouse Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose flour 1 Tbs. baking powder 2 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1 stick of butter, chilled 1/2 stick butter, melted 3/4 cup buttermilk Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Cut in the 1 stick of chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pat dough out to 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Dredge biscuits in 1/2 stick melted butter. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Triple Chocolate Muffins

Do not over mix. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Use a wooden skewer to test the center of the muffin to ensure they are done. Makes 6-8 muffins. Mexican Egg Cups

With Mother's Day approaching, now is the perfect time to thank your Moms and Step-Moms for all the help they've devoted to your wedding plans. Whether it's a generous financial contribution for your dream wedding, a kind-hearted offer to make your wedding favors, or the nurturing emotional support you need during this stressful time, the Moms have been there for you in a big way.
It's called the Babymoon -- a way for couples to get away for romance and relaxation before their little bundle of joy arrives. The latest travel trend among expectant parents is becoming just as popular as the honeymoon and we've got Babymoon packages to spoil and pamper...before "pamper" is just a diaper.
