Georgia Peach Breakfast Taco

It's one thing for me to write over and over how much we enjoy taking care of our guests! We do! BUT- I also want you to experience our Bed and Breakfast through the eyes of our guests!

Ellen and John of Mandeville, Louisiana stumbled upon our B & B through Google Maps! They checked in late-enjoyed pizza on the court square and a good night's sleep before continuing their road trip to Charleston.

Breakfast was leisurely and included another of our recipes from The Old Garden Inn. The Georgia Peach Breakfast Taco was a recipe I created for inclusion in PBS's "P" is for Peaches, Pies and Pecans way back in the late 90's!

Here's what Ellen and John had to say about their stay with us last night. Their comments are reprinted with their permission!

"Perfection. Fabulous hosts, delightful room and the food was amazing. You put Newnan on the map for us! What a great way to start our vacation! Thanks for the cookies and Good Luck with everything! P.S. Of course we love Zena!

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.
