Here are a few of our favorite recipes that we would like to share with you.

On our Big Bear retreats, we get to show off our cooking skills and experiment on our customers! These are some of our popular recipes:

Holiday Morning French Toast
On Sunday mornings, we do a big brunch before everyone goes home. This is a great recipe to make the night before.

Pumpkin Pancakes
This recipe takes a little more time than others, but the pancakes are to die for. They are especially good on those chilly autumn mornings.

Toasty Baked Oatmeal
Some of our ladies love warm oatmeal before a long day of sewing.

Chicken Tortilla Soup
We try to make Saturday lunch a fast meal to cook so we can spend more time at our sewing machines!

BBQ in the Crock Pot
This is one of our most requested lunch recipes.

 

A couple of dinner favorites from Sue's kitchen:

Pasta with Sugar Snap Peas, Asparagus, and Parmesan

Salmon with Arugula, Tomato, and Caper Sauce

 

Spicy Pumpkin Bread
If you're tempted to fiddle with the spices (maybe substitute pumpkin-pie spice for the allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), think again. We tried it that way, but it wasn't as good. There's just something special about this four-spice combination.

Orange Streusel Loaves
This recipe was given to us by one of our travelers, Mary Kay O'Neill. It was a big hit at Big Bear one weekend.

 

We always have goodies on our bus trips and at the Temecula retreats. Here are some of our favorites.

Double Gingersnaps
These are a favorite on bus trips.

Connie's Oatmeal Cookies
Mary Wahlenmaier always brings these to Temecula and has to hide a few because they are gone so quickly!
