Pinehurst Inn Recipes
At the Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast we love to experiment and try new recipes and we are thrilled to share our guest favorites with you.
Chocolate Chip and Toffee Ice Cream Pie
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI. I don't know if this happens to you, but I often find that my favorite menu items at restaurants disappear. They simply fall off the menu, never to be enjoyed again. Is my taste so different from everyone else that the foods I enjoy just don't have a market, or maybe, the profit margins on those food are such that the restaurants drop them?…... view full recipe
Easter Lamb Cake with White Buttercream Frosting
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. My husband and I moved to Bayfield, in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, a little over 7 years ago from Chicago. Bayfield is a beautiful small tourist town right on the shores of Lake Superior. There is so much to love about this area, but as Easter approaches, I long for our former local bakery that made a ridiculously delicious and decadent pound cake with…... view full recipe
White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. I first discovered this recipe about a year ago when I was trying to use up a large bag of dried cranberries before they went bad (I hate to waste food). I went to one of my go-to blogs, Sally's Baking Addiction and I came across a recipe for Soft-Baked White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies. While I am not generally a huge fan of white…... view full recipe
Breakfast Galette with Sausage and Peppers
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. If you love pie and love breakfast, you have to try this Breakfast Galette, it is a rustic savory breakfast pie. I came across this recipe many years ago and continue to make it or some version of it since it is so versatile. It not only makes a satisfying breakfast, it works great for lunch or dinner, just add a salad. The original…... view full recipe
Orange Olive Oil Coffee Cake with Orange Glaze
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: If you are looking for a deliciously moist coffee cake with a subtle taste of orange, but not too sweet, this cake is for you. It's great paired with berries and is the perfect complement to your morning cup of coffee or tea. It also makes a wonderful dessert. I am a big fan of olive oil cake and when I found this recipe…... view full recipe
Sausage Gravy with Mushrooms in Puff Pastry Bowl
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin Here is an upscale version of the Southern classic, Biscuits and Gravy. We are a fan of that traditional Southern treat, but we wanted to take it up a notch (or two or three) for our guests. After playing around with a number of recipes and flavors for a good sausage gravy, we kept coming back to this version, which is a Sausage Gravy…... view full recipe
Blackberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI: If you are a blackberry fan, then this recipe is for you. Even if you are not a fan, this recipe is very versatile. Feel free to use any other berries, maybe raspberries or blueberries, but our preference is blackberries--the combination of the blackberries and the cream cheese is hard to beat. I found this recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction blog, it is one…... view full recipe
Another Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI: What is a Lip Smackin Southern Benedit? Well, it starts with cornbread baked in a cast iron pan, topped with pulled pork and a fried egg, and drizzled with a creamy barbeque sauce. It might not be a traditional breakfast or a traditional eggs benedict, but it sure makes your mouth happy. I have combined some of my favorite recipes to bring you this…... view full recipe
Chocolate Caramel Pecan Cookies aka Turtle Cookies
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI I am a sucker for chocolate and caramel, one of the best combinations ever (okay, peanut butter and chocolate also may be a contender). When you add pecans to it, well I'm a goner. So, it is no surprise that when I came across a recipe from Taste of Home for Chocolate Caramel Thumbprint cookies, I had to try them. While I thought they…... view full recipe
Orange Ricotta Pancakes with Cranberry Syrup
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in beautiful Bayfield, Wisconsin: These pancakes are light and refreshing which make them great for the summer. But with the cranberry syrup, they also seem to work in the winter or really anytime of the year. This recipe is a tweaked version of the Orange Ricotta Pancakes and Cranberry Syrup recipes we found on Taste of Home several years ago. You may find these pancakes served with…... view full recipe
Cinnamon Roll Muffins – No Yeast!
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: Cinnamon rolls are a favorite of ours, but me and yeast have a love hate relationship, so when I found a recipe for cinnamon roll muffins (thank you togetherasfamily.com), I had to try it. I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins were tasty, but I wanted them to be gooier (if that is a word--perhaps more gooey) with a cinnamon punch, so I…... view full recipe
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: Okay, breakfast probably does not immediately come to mind when you think of mac and cheese, but let me tell you, it works. Mike and I were enjoying our favorite mac and cheese (thank you, The Chunky Chef) with fresh lake trout and broccoli (trying to offset the mac and cheese) and Mike asked why we don't serve our mac and cheese for breakfast.…... view full recipe
Whoopie Pies – Chocolate with Vanilla Cream
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. We were in Portland, Maine a number of years ago and had one of the best whoopie pies ever, unfortunately I do not remember the name of the bakery. We just came upon it during one of our walks around town. I should have paid more attention but I was too focused on what I was eating. Since then, I have been obsessed with…... view full recipe
Breakfast Carnitas with Eggs and Salsa Verde
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO from PInehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Here is a wonderfully tasty treat that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner (we had had it for breakfast today as we are big fans of dinner for breakfast). This recipe is from the Cheesecake Factory Green Chilaquiles with Carnitas and Eggs. We have made some modifications, but it is a delicious dish and the epitome of comfort food. In these uncertain times…... view full recipe
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. If you like Chunky candy bars, you will love these cookies. I was always a fan of Chunkies, even though I was not a fan of nuts, I think it was the raisins. In the last few years, I have learned to really enjoy nuts and I find myself incorporating them more and more in my cooking and baking. In trying to capture the…... view full recipe
Breakfast Pizza with Cauliflower Crust and Bacon Pesto
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: I came across this recipe from Taylor at Food Faith Fitness Blog a number of years ago. The cauliflower crust is one of the best we have ever tried and certainly better than any store-bought version. It takes some work (and a lot of cauliflower), but it is really worth the effort. I have been making this pizza for Mike and I for some…... view full recipe
South of the Border Breakfast Lasagna
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. We love all things Tex-Mex, Southwestern and Mexican, and since we own a bed and breakfast, we like to experiment with these flavors for breakfast, because really, who does not love Mexican food for breakfast? The South of the Border Breakfast Lasagna is layered like a lasagna, thus the name. We tried a number of recipes, but ultimately adapted the Amazing Mexican Breakfast Casserole…... view full recipe
Swedish Pancakes with Blueberry Compote and Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. This recipe was inspired by a friend of ours. We were talking about favorite breakfasts and she shared one of her fondest memories growing up in Minnesota. Almost every Saturday she would go to her best friend's house and her friend's Dad would make them Swedish pancakes with blueberries and whipped cream. Just hearing the story and the genuine joy it brought her, I…... view full recipe
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin Okay, this may not be the typical breakfast served at a Bed & Breakfast, but we aren't typical. We like to experiment with different recipes, sometimes making dinner for breakfast. We try a lot of recipes, not only for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner too. When we have something for lunch or dinner that we really like, Mike (my better half) and I…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin We have been busy making applesauce this fall from the apples produced by our young apple trees. They were planted in the fall of 2016 and in 2019 already are producing more apples than we can use. We expected that nature (mostly the deer and birds) would consume most of the apples, but we have had an incredible crop so I decided to make applesauce…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI Alright, the picture does not do this treat justice. We serve it with fresh whipped cream, but when we took a picture of it with the whipped cream, all you could see was whipped cream in a white ramekin (a little bit too much white). So it is pictured without whipped cream, but we strongly recommend serving it slightly warm with either fresh whipped cream…... view full recipe
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. In keeping with the saying "everything is better with bacon," these biscuits are amazing. They are a meal unto themselves, but we serve them as a starter, typically followed by a fresh fruit salad, then a breakfast entrée (maybe orange ricotta pancakes with homemade cranberry orange syrup). Eat the biscuits plain or with butter. Personally, I think no butter is necessary, but others disagree.…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI. These Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies have the perfect blend of butter, sugar and jam, and are very easy to make. You can use your favorite jam (homemade or purchased). We are fortunate to be surrounded by incredible orchards so we generally use locally made jams from these orchards. I am looking forward to getting back into canning jams and jellies (well I have all the equipment,…... view full recipe
Spinach Mushroom Goat Cheese Frittata
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI. We have received a number of requests for my frittata recipe, so I have decided it is time to post this recipe. This frittata recipe is simple and really versatile. You can easily change the "add-ins" and seasonings to suit your particular taste, but this recipe will give you a general roadmap to follow when using your favorite ingredients. The frittata had only been…... view full recipe
Individual Southwestern Quiche in Corn Tortilla
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin. This recipe is from Gluten Free Spinner with slight modifications. It is easily adaptable to your own taste. Since the "crust" is a tortilla, we like to play up the "southwest" flavors and serve it with either homemade guacamole or tomato avocado salsa, and of course, sour cream. These individual quiches currently are part of our breakfast rotation. We typically start off with something…... view full recipe
Kentucky Hot Brown Quiche (aka Turkey or Chicken Bacon Tomato Quiche)
Another recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: It's Kentucky Derby week so I thought I would share our version of the Kentucky Hot Brown in quiche form. The Hot Brown is a decadent sandwich made with turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a creamy Mornay sauce, created in the 1920s by the Chef of the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The Hot Brown still is served today at the Brown Hotel, and you…... view full recipe
Another cookie recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin: Take a walk down memory lane with these Iced Oatmeal Cookies. I have always been a big fan of the iced oatmeal cookies you find in the cookie aisle of the grocery store, so when I was came across a recipe for iced oatmeal cookies from Sally's Baking Addiction, one of my favorite blogs, I had to try it (with slight modifications based…... view full recipe
Our breakfasts aren't always conventional (okay, I confess, most of our breakfasts at Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast are not conventional), sometimes they may look more like dinner, like our Breakfast Crepe Lasagna which we typically serve with a multi-color pepper and sausage salad. Over the last six months, we have tried several breakfast lasagna recipes with some tweaking here and there, and ultimately decided that this one is a keeper. It uses my favorite…... view full recipe
Apple Cinnamon Baked French Toast
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin We have had a number of requests for this recipe so I thought it was time to post it. This recipe is from the vanilla and cinnamon challah bread pudding recipe on GeniusKitchen.com. The creamy texture and the wonderfully buttery challah bread (and, of course, the local apples when they are in season) make this french toast a standout. We are fortunate to have…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, WI We are going into negative temperatures for the next seven to ten days, so it is the perfect time to make a big batch of our favorite chili. We like it a bit spicy and this recipe reflects that, but it is easy to tone down by reducing the amount of jalapenos, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. After several years of working on the…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin It all started when Mike and I took a cooking class at New Orleans School of Cooking during one of our many trips to NOLA--what a fun afternoon. A recipe for pralines was demonstrated and Mike even volunteered to assist the chef in scooping out the luscious delights. I wish I had thought to take a picture back then, but I was just enjoying the…... view full recipe
Recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin Our Muffuletta Breakfast Pie is inspired by the muffulettas we enjoyed in New Orleans. Our favorite cold muffuletta is from Central Grocery on Decatur Street. We always had one for our flight back home so we could enjoy NOLA a bit longer. However, our follow passengers did not always appreciate the fact that we did not have enough to share. Our favorite warm muffuletta has…... view full recipe
Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (to date)
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin A good chocolate chip cookie never gets old, especially with an ice cold glass of milk. Growing up, we would make Toll House chocolate chip cookies, which we loved and they still bring back lots of great memories. But then I tasted a Mrs. Field's semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie and realized that there may be more to chocolate chip cookies then just Toll House.…... view full recipe
Ginger Molasses Cream Pies aka Spiced Cream Pies
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin These cream pies are a combination of soft chewy ginger molasses cookies and a cream filling that is light, sweet and creamy, and oh so delicious. The spice from the cookies and the sweetness from the filling are the perfect pairing. These are great for the fall and the holidays, but certainly can be enjoyed year-round. Try it out yourself and let us know…... view full recipe
Sweet Potato Pancakes with Pecan Butter
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin We first discovered sweet potato pancakes when Mike and I were traveling in the south. I am not a sweet potato fan, but when I first tried sweet potato pancakes, it reminded me of pumpkin pie--and I do love some pumpkin pie. I tried many different sweet potato pancake recipes, trying to find the perfect balance of sweet and savory, but nothing seemed quite…... view full recipe
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin I am a big fan of scones, but trying to find scone recipes that Mike likes has been a challenge, until I found this Ham and Cheese Scone recipe from www.damndelicious.net. While we add a bit more ham than the recipe calls for, these scones are delicious. They are more biscuit-like than the scones I am use to, maybe that is why Mike likes…... view full recipe
A recipe from Pinehurst Inn Bed & Breakfast in Bayfield, Wisconsin Bayfield Wisconsin is known for its orchards and wonderful fruits, including its raspberries. The growing season is short in Northern Wisconsin so when summer arrives, we pack in as much fresh local fruit as possible, and raspberries are no exception. We love the raspberries from North Wind Organic Farm. We buy flats and flats of them so we have plenty to served to our…... view full recipe
