Food, Glorious Food
Fresh Food, Every Time
More Squash Than You Can Eat!
Seven days a week we make a fabulous breakfast for our guests. Nothing comes from a box or a can…it’s all homemade. In season, we get vegetables & fresh fruit from Terripin Farms www.terripinfarms.net
It’s the closest thing to farm to table you can get in Hannibal. So each week for 17 weeks we get a huge variety of fresh produce such as: new & sweet potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, cantaloupe & watermelon, sweet, green and hot peppers, eggplant, sweet corn, kale; acorn, butternut & yellow squash, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, beets, spring onions, lettuce, radish, swiss chard, and broccoli.
WHAT’S FOR BREAKFAST?
We alternate serving a sweet breakfast with a savory one so guests get to experience a variety of taste treat sensations.
Zucchini Galette
Breakfast includes fresh seasonal fruits, bread, English muffin or homemade pastries. Spreads include cream cheese and butter and an array of homemade Jams and Jellies. We usually serve a variety of baked egg dishes with a vegetable such as spinach, kale, broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, or sweet potatoes. These are usually sprinkled with any number of cheeses – cheddar, blue, goat, Italian. Bacon, turkey bacon, sausage, chicken sausage or kielbasa are normally served on the side.
Our Inn serves homemade granola, an assortment of dried fruits and nuts as well as Greek yogurt without sugar.
We grind our own Starbucks French Roast coffee each morning. It is strong. But it’ll get your heart goin’ in the morning!! We also have decaf for those whose hearts can beat without a good shot of caffeine. We boast a large assortment of teas, (black, green, decaf, herbal & assorted other varieties), thanks to my friend Georgia who told me my tea selection …well, sucked. So I caved and spent $100 on tea and bought an electric kettle to boot. So tea up! Half & half is always on hand. We serve OJ with breakfast.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!!
Breakfast is normally held at 9am. If you need to eat earlier or later that is no problem. Please let me know in advance so we can accommodate your schedule.
We eat family style at the dining room table. You will be eating with strangers but then, that is the fun part of staying at a traditional B & B!! You are welcome to take dishes to your room or out on the front porch, but room service is not available.
If you are lactose intolerant or require a gluten free breakfast or don’t eat pork or beef or eggs or are allergic to any food or spice please let me know in advance. I will do everything to make certain you have a wonderful meal. There is a little notation on the reservations page for just such info. Fair warning…I am not a short-order cook so unless you want to eat pretend breakfast please let me know in advance of your dietary needs.
Dutch Apple Betty with Blueberries
On weekends (Saturday and Sunday) the menu includes specials like baked French toast or baked chocolate donuts, Dutch Apple Betty, or the most yummy muffins or coffee cakes imaginable!! We frequently serve Mimosas or Bloody Mary’s on the weekends as well. I especially like weekends!!
We look forward to seeing you at breakfast!
