Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

March 28th, 2013 by Sam Feldman

Tried this new recipe recently at our Bed and Breakfast and it was awesome! It’s a keeper:

2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent rolls
2 (8oz each) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
cinnamon
sugar

Unroll and spread 1 of the cans of crescent rolls on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish (or 8 x 8 if you want to cut the recipe in half). Combine softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla. Spread over crescent roll layer. Unroll and layer remaining crescent rolls over cream cheese layer. Melt your butter and spread over top of crescent rolls. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sugar.

Bake for 20-30 minutes in 350 degree oven until bubbly and slightly browned. Drizzle with a little honey if you like. Let cool a bit, slice and eat.

Warmest regards

Pumpkin Pancakes – A Great Winter Breakfast in Eureka Springs

February 6th, 2013 by Sam Feldman

A popular favorite here at the Bridgeford House for breakfast is Pumpkin Pancakes:

2 cups flour
2 TB firmly-packed brown sugar
1 TB baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup solid pack pumpkin
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 TB oil

Preheat griddle to 375. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients; mix well. In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just moistened (batter will be very thick).

For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Using a spatula, spread batter into a 4-inch circle before mixture sets. Cook until surface bubbles and appears dry. Turn; continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm with butter and syrup.

Yield:  16 pancakes

Easy enough to make for yourselves but we’ll be happy to do it here for you!

Chicken & Cheese Lasagna Roll-ups – It’s What’s for Dinner!

December 23rd, 2012 by Sam Feldman

Instead of a breakfast recipe, how about a great dinner dish this time? Enjoy!

3 cups chopped or shredded chicken*
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/8 tsp white pepper
8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
2 cups Spaghetti sauce (I make my own but you can use store-bought)

In medium bowl, combine chicken, cheese, milk and pepper. Spread 1/2 cup mixture on each lasagna noodle; roll jelly-roll fashion. In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce. Arrange lasagna rolls, seam-side down in sauce in baking dish. Top with remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until hot.

*Shredded chicken ahead of time:

Put 3-4 chicken breasts in crock pot with 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and a 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Cook on low at least 3-4 hours, until tender and falling apart. Fork apart – can divide into freezer bags and keep for future use.

Fall Food – Apple Pie!

October 21st, 2012 by Sam Feldman

Well, we can’t quit thinking about food, with a gorgeous (and extremely busy!) fall upon us, we keep thinking about eating and most particularly today, about pie. We have a busy Thanksgiving weekend coming up here at the B&B and we’re thinking we will have several pies cooked for our guests to enjoy while they are here – and my favorite is this version of the great American Apple Pie, which I saw on Good Morning America years ago:

Crunchy Caramel Apple PiePie at the Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast, Eureka Springs, Arkansas

 

Ingredients:

1 pastry crust for a deep-dish pie 9-inch

1/2 cup sugar

3 tb all-purpose flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples

1 recipe crumb topping (see below)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/4 cup caramel topping

 

Ingredients for Crumb Topping:

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats

1/2 cup butter

 

Directions for crumb topping:

 

Stir together brown sugar, flour, rolled oats.

Cut in 1/2 cup butter until topping is like course crumbs. Set aside.

 

Pie Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.

Add apple slices and gently toss until coated.

Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell.

Sprinkle crumble topping over apple mixture.

Place pie on cookie sheet so the drippings don’t drop into your oven.

Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil.

Bake in a preheated oven 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Then remove foil and put back in for another 25 to 30 minutes without foil.

Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped nuts and drizzle with heated caramel sauce on top.

Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Remember the “secret season” in Eureka Springs, late fall and winter, when the crowds are gone and the fireplaces are lit here at the Bridgeford House. Come for Thanksgiving and come eat pie!
