The Southside's Market Days in Newnan

Timely Expressions of LaGrange

Gina Garcia of Southern Roots Enterprises T. Bill Lee's Secret BBQ Sauce

Market Days in Newnan is in full swing for 2010! The quality and quantity of vendors continues to grow-offering guests and residents an enjoyable fun-filled day on our beautiful court square!

Weekend guests of Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast enjoyed a very leisurely breakfast and still had plenty of time to shop the square and market. They particularly loved our newest shop, Encore Decor-also one of my personal favorites.

It's always interesting to see who's new to our market and this month brought some new talented vinyl artists from LaGrange, as well as a new BBQ sauce and wonderfully crisp spring rolls! All my favorites were there, Pine Street Market with their wonderful Picnic Salami and flavorful applewood-smoked bacon-a favorite at our Casa Bella breakfast table!

An Innkeeper's Life at Casa Bella

Ron and I spent a busy day cleaning, baking and getting a jumpstart on our guests breakfasts!  All of this after a wonderful swim. 

The weather has been so spectacular here in Georgia that I hurry to get my work done so that I can spend a few hours by the pool - relaxing, swimming and playing with our Rottie, Zena.  Although-she's not a fan of swimming she catches "mean water".  I don't know how to better explain that except to say she loves to catch the water!   You know how it is when you have a playful pet! They make up their own games.

We planned a breakfast with early peaches coming in from South Carolina.  They will be made into a recipe I created twelve or so years ago when we operated as The Old Garden Inn.  The recipe is a Peach Breakfast Taco and it was one of our most popular first courses.  Crispy flour tortilla coated with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar-the filling is a cottage cheese and ricotta filling-served with fresh slices of peaches and two homemade syrups.  One syrup a homemade peach with dessert wine and the other our popular homemade black raspberry. 

We dipped the peaches into boiling water momentarily to remove the skins-next we sliced the peaches and  now have them resting in the fridge with a small amount of sugar.  It's important to us to keep our breakfast creations lightly sweetened to suit the early morning stomach.

Ron finished up his evening with a batch of his delicious chocolate chip cookies for our guests this evening.  They are driving in from Louisiana and we want to make sure they have a snack before bedtime-just in case they are too tired to go out for dinner. 

Apple Crisps With Black Raspberry Syrup

A new twist on an old favorite! This is one of those recipes that is sounds to simple to be so delicious. Leftover semolina bread from Panera Bread Company is recycled into crispy breadcrumbs. Blended with pecans, sugar, spices and a little butter . . .you end up with a crunchy, delicate breakfast treat. Slightly sweetened whipped cream and my own homemade Black Raspberry Syrup is quickly turning this into a guest favorite.

Guestroom Tre

This week our third accommodation, Guestroom Tre, opens as a spacious retreat with a painted king Wesley Allen Iron Bed; complete with comfortable pillowtop mattress and fresh, creamy 400 thread count linens from Italy.

Dating back to the original owner, this pretty bathroom offers a tub with double waterfall shower heads, roomy granite-topped vanity with plenty of oversized, fluffy towels, eco-friendly bath toiletries and Restoration Hardward bathrobes.

Plenty of drawer space, an armiore with 32-inch color TV loaded with movie and music channels. and two custom club chairs on creamy white carpet, this soft retreat is the perfect spot for a long getaway weekend!

Sit Down and Relax "A Spell"

The public spaces of Casa Bella are filled with books, magazines, notecards and reasons to stay put while your battery recharges. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea from the Guest Beverage Center, post a letter at Char's antique desk or enjoy one of Patty's many cookbooks and design books.

If you're the type that appreciates not having to ask for everything, no worries, you'll find our convenient Guest Beverage Center with refrigerator stocked full of popular coffees, teas, water and iced tea, all within easy reach.  

The original morning room is only a few steps from the kitchen.  Quiet, serene and wonderfully lit, this peaceful space is the perfect spot to enjoy the smells of the morning.

And, if this all sounds too much like work. . .there's always the front porch-filled with comfy furniture and plenty of entertainment as the work passes by!

Home, Sweet Home!

Guests are invited to enjoy several public areas-adjacent to the dining area in the front hall! Curl up with a good book or magazine and enjoy the peaceful quiet! Grab a cup of coffee or tea from the drink bar and watch the world go by on our 800 sf front porch!  Warm weather's on the way.

French Potato Omelette

This was a very popular omelette served at The Old Garden Inn. Thinly-sliced seasoned boiled potatoes fried in a few tablespoons of olive oil until crispy. 

Shown here with a other popular ingredients. . . Applewood-smoke bacon-cured locally, fresh Chinese chives and goat cheese. 

Silky eggs that are not overbeaten or filled with air are created with a low, preheated pan.

Just one of the many favorites we will re-introduce at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast!

Another Day Closer

Every day, now, we catch glimpses of the pretty spaces that are unfolding through-out the house.

Each little glimpse caused by the simple placement of a pretty lamp or the addition of a beautiful fabric. 

We are finally hanging shower curtains, placing sofas and chairs, washing windows, rehanging blinds and chandeliers. We are just about to wrap up the painting and are anxiously awaiting delivery of the final few pieces of furniture.

Our opening has been pushed back closer to January, although we continue to receive reservation requests and are excited to host our first guests.

Thanks to Susie Berta of Newnan for her suggestion to name our rooms in Italian!  We love her idea and look forward to creating pretty little placques in our Casa Bella colors.  Susie is co-owner of Rick and Susie's Little Gourmet Cookies in Newnan.  There company bakes delicious, moist Italian Ricotta Cookies.  http://www.goodngracious.com/
