Breakfast

Our hens lay a variety of colors and sizes of eggs...but oh...so healthy and tasty
 
The heritage kitchen is complete with a
100 year old range.
The table set for a full Christmas breakfast

Full hot breakfast every day of the year.

Here is a quote from Mary Norwak's culinary history book, The Farmhouse Kitchen, which really brings home the farm-style breakfast:
"Either way, a farm breakfast usually starts with cereal or porridge. After this comes a cooked dish of two or three "fries", such as bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushroom and fried potatoes; sometimes there may be kidneys, sausages or fish. In warmer weather, cold ham, brawn or boiled bacon is popular. After this comes plenty of new bread, oatcakes or toast, accompanied by honey or home-made marmalade."
Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day at Amanda’s Bequest, no matter the day of the week.   Full hot breakfast is served between 8:30 and 9:30 am.  A variety of buffet style foods will be available until 10 am for guests to help-themselves to.  In-room breakfast is an option and should be preplanned at check-in.
 
You'll awaken to the smells of a good old fashioned and hearty country breakfast of bacon, country ham or sausage, eggs, hash browns and made from scratch buttermilk biscuits. Some mornings will find our famous biscuits and sausage gravy.  Fresh fruit, juice and coffee accompany every breakfast. Guests may discover a variety of homemade waffles, French toast, breads, muffins, yogurt and cereal.   If there is an allergy, dietary restriction,  or strong dislike please let us know Sunny and welcoming dining roomimmediately.  We promise you will not go away hungry. 
 
All our breakfasts are home made with our own eggs and farm fresh ingredients.  We use our own or local Michigan farmer's market harvests whenever possible. Breakfast is included in our room rates.
 

 
Coffee and scones, French toast stuffed with homemade preserves, or a homestyle sausage gravy and biscuits meal...or all?  You decide.  Valerie's hearty and varied farm breakfasts are guaranteed to get you going in the morning.
