We are definitely in the season for house-guests! Fall parties, Thanksgiving gatherings and on into Christmas, people will be popping in and staying awhile. How can you make your home a haven for guests, and not pressure yourself as the holidays approach? Here are a few of my breakfast tips for guests who stay at the "Faith B&B":
Breakfasts for guests -- Laid back and relaxed is always the best tactic.
- I like to have fresh granola & a few other cereal choices on hand. As well as fresh juice & coffee. This is easy and allows for varied wake-up times for guests who might not be in our 'time zone' yet.
- No one expects hot food. But I do like to have a toaster available & on the ready for fresh toasted English muffins or cinnamon raisin toast. Cream cheese is an awesome combo with cinnamon raisin.
- If I'm feeling particularly rested I sometimes offer quick scrambled eggs in the microwave ... Quite tasty & quick.
- When it comes to hosting in the morning, the best tip of all is relax & let your guests eat as they are ready. Everyone has a different pace in the morning.
- Buffet-type stations always work the best. Cups, utensils, & everything should be set out for everyone so they can make themselves at home, making their m
orning ritual the way they like it. Don't pressure yourself to attempt being a short order cook.--Coffee urns keep coffee hot, without burning. Single serving coffee makers are also a nice touch with a selection of teas, coffees, and flavored creamers.
