We were looking for a new cookie to bake up for our guests. We were initially intrigued because both Julie is Slovak and Carly is Czech in our heritage.

We only made a few changes to up the whole grains and incorporate our favorite spice, cardamom.... view full recipe

Goldberry Woods’ Epic Poached Pear Recipe
Our favorite Poached Pears are actually our own pears. We change up the poaching liquid in this recipe for whatever we are feeling that day, but keep the basic essence of it.

While the original flavor combination of honey and ginger is always a big hit, it is nice to know that this can be easily changed for whatever mood…... view full recipe

Green Tomato Bread with Michigan Blueberries
Very similar to a zucchini bread, we have adapted this Allrecipes recipe to be our own. Switching out and adding some ingredients that we like to bake with. We switched All-Purpose flour out for Whole Wheat White to give to more nutrients and we loved the addition of different berries we could use from the farm!

Lemon and Michigan Blueberry Zucchini Muffins with Streusel Topping
These muffins quickly became a hit at the inn. We have been able to use so much of our own produce with these muffins, that it is always a proud moment when we can serve them to our guests.

April Fool’s Day Recipe: SunButter Surprise Cookies
We knew we wanted to do something fun and new for April Fool's Day this year. I stumbled upon these when one of the home cook bloggers did a video.

The Pavlova originates from Australia and New Zealand. Its fluffy layers or meringue and whipped cream are thought to replicate that of Anna Pavlova's Ballerina Tutus. Typically served as one big dessert for the holidays, we have adapted it into smaller individual portions that we serve for breakfast. If you can't have sweets for breakfast, why eat breakfast at all? We love to top this delicate meringue with homemade lemon curd, homemade whipped cream, and…... view full recipe
