Breakfast at Casa Bella

The first apples have been picked and I'm anxious to turn them into apple filling for crepes and an apple-cinnamon bread! 












Some years the squirrels and birds get to the crop before I do but I reason that we have to share during dry months.  This year I'm under the trees in time and have sampled the first juicy apple. 

I've never identified these but they are a very good with the right amount of rain.  Lightly sweet, a little tart . . .really perfect for a tart or apple fritter!

Spring Taste of Newnan

The usual signs of spring are all around us now-including itchy eyes and stuffy noses! But the sure fire way to know we are in for some good days with warm weather and BBQ is the Spring Taste of Newnan on the court square!

Market Days has already fired up and the city of Newnan becomes one of the most beautiful small town hubs in all of Georgia.

Atlanta's Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast

Many of our guests at Casa Bella have questions about our lifestyle and wonder what makes a successful innkeeper.  I'm sure there are many thoughts on the subject but I believe a background in hospitality or food and beverage gives one an edge.

My husband is Italian and grew up in an neighborhood market that his family owned for over 75 years-Gironda's Market in Maranoneck, N.Y. Customers became extended family!

I'm the daughter of a career military man. My family often lived overseas and accommodations weren't always in base housing but sometimes in small apartments or gasthauses "on the economy". 

The gasthauses had a profound and lasting effect on me.

The owners treated us like family. My older sister and I were invited into the restaurant kitchen for ice cream after school.  We were treated as adults at the breakfast table  . . .a memory that I cherish fourty something years later!

Dunaway Wedding And Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast Of Newnan

Our honeymooners strolled off to enjoy a morning in downtown Newnan after a leisurely breakfast!

Starved and happy to enjoy some hot food we started them off with some Grilled Pound Cake with our Strawberries Romanoff. Their egg course included our "potted eggs" with fresh minced tomatoes and green onions and a light dusting of cheese. We rounded out the meal with our signature homefries and 10-Grain Toast!

They loved their Dunaway Gardens wedding and said it was "picture perfect"! After a great night's sleep they are off for a weekend in Coweta before heading out on their honeymoon!

Next weekend's bride and groom, also being married at Dunaway Gardens, will celebrate their first few nights in Newnan at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast.  We take great pride in welcoming our newlyweds as they embark on their married lives together! 

Congratulations to all of our newlyweds!
