EurekaGras Mardi Gras!

December 2nd, 2012 by Sam Feldman

You can’t find a better MardiGras celebration north of New Orleans than what we produce right here in Eureka Springs! Organized by tried and true New Orleans transplants, EurekaGras is the real thing, with an activity-packed schedule, from January 5th to February 12th, 2013.

Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast Enjoys EurekaGras!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is truly a New Orleans style Mardi Gras setting in the beautiful Ozarks within the Downtown area of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This event, in its seventh year, has grown phenomenally and is now deep rooted in the Victorian Town with up and down curly-Q streets. The Krewe of Krazo, OZARK spelled backwards, welcomes visitors and locals -” Laissez les bon temps Rouler”, Let the Good Times Roll!
If you like to party, love to watch people, and just generally love to have a good time, plan a visit to Eureka Springs during one of these MardiGras events. You can walk to almost everything from our place!
Warmest regards,
Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

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!

Warmest regards,

Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

Blackberry Biscuit Cobbler

October 7th, 2012 by Sam Feldman

Fall is here! If you were in Eureka Springs this past weekend, you would have had your heavy jacket on and carried your umbrella (just in case) and got to watching the trees start to really turn red in earnest. The heat’s been turned on and the fireplaces lit. So how ’bout a nice warm breakfast recipe to try? If you can’t get here, then try this at home:

Breakfast at the Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs AR

 

Blackberry Biscuit Cobbler

Biscuit dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups whipping cream

Cobbler:
1 cup sugar
2 TB cornstarch
1/4 cup water
2-16 ounce packages of frozen or fresh berries (6 cups)

In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and whipping cream with a fork until well combined. Set aside.

In a large saucepan combine 1 cup sugar, 2 TB cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water. Stir in 6 cups (two 16-ounce) packages) fresh or frozen blackberries (or raspberries or cherries). Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Divide mixture amount eight (could stretch to 10) ramekins. Drop 1 or 2 mounds of batter on top of each.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and mixture is bubbly. Makes 8-10 servings.

This is a favorite among guests, so if you’d rather us make it, we’ll be happy to! Come see us!

Warmest regards,

Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

Thai House Restaurant – New in Town!

August 12th, 2012 by Sam Feldman

I have never been a big fan of Thai food, although I like other Asian food. Just the ones we had tried back in Dallas didn’t do anything for me. But we have eaten three times here in the last two weeks since this new restaurant has opened up, the Thai House Restaurant on Hwy 62. The food is awesome and it’s so nice to have another great restaurant in our little burg.

New Restaurant in Eureka Springs, ARThey have an extensive menu with everything from appetizers, noodles, curry, beef, pork and seafood to soups and salads. My absolute love is Fried Pork Dumplings (ground pork with Thai herbs) served with a wonderful homemade dumpling sauce, in the photo. My entree favorite, currently, is Lad-Na (Crispy egg noodles topped with carrots, onions, fresh mushrooms – which I have them leave out, not a fan – and broccoli in a garlic brown sauce. That sauce is to die for!

We have also had Teriyaki Beef (I eat off of Jeff’s plate, shamelessly), Cashew Nut chicken, Ginger chicken, and another appetizer: the Summer Rolls (rice paper wrapped with lettuce, bean sprouts, chicken, fried eggs and served with a sweet creamy sauce & ground peanuts). We have had fellow innkeepers that are big fans of the Pan Thai (stir-fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, green onions and topped with ground peanuts) and Evil Jungle Prince (choice of meat sauteed in red chili paste, coconut milk, bamboo shoots and basil, served on a bed of chopped cabbage). As you can see, reading the menu is half the fun!

Be sure and try them the next time you stay with us – no, you can’t walk to this one, unfortunately, but it’s worth the car trip!

Warmest regards,

Jeff and Sam Feldman – and Sophie, too!

Simply Scrumptious Tea Room

June 24th, 2012 by Sam Feldman

While we always encourage our folks to park their car and walk the historic district during their stay with us, we do have some excellent restaurants out on Hwy 62 and one of those is the Simply Scrumptious Tea Room. They invite you to sit back, relax and be pampered in their charming dining room. Serving lunch each day Tuesday – Saturday, they offer a menu that is prepared fresh daily, with soup, salad, sandwiches, quiche and simply scrumptious desserts. The food is wonderful (their Chicken Salad is to die for!) and served elegantly in a beautiful setting (the windows of the dining room look out into the woods).

A Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast favorite

In addition to being connected to a wonderful antique shop filled with some really nice furniture finds (the Gingerbread Antique Mall), Simply Scrumptious also has a wonderful gift emporium filled with vintage and garden inspired treasures. Every time I’m in there I have to keep a watch on my pocketbook because I find such wonderful things. But if your mind is strictly on food, take a few minutes to look at their menu before you go so you’ll be prepared for their mouth-watering food.
So when you come to Eureka, it’s okay to get back in your car and drive to one of our great Hwy 62 restaurants. Make sure one of them is Simply Scrumptious and tell them Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast sent you.
Warmest regards
Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

May 29th, 2012 by Sam Feldman

French Toast Morning at Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast Eureka Springs AR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We try to offer different recipes from time to time – Sam, our main breakfast cook, has a very short attention span – :) !

Therefore, here is a recipe to lusciousness:

12 slices day-old bread, cut into 1” cubes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into 1” cubes
1 cup fresh blueberries
12 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup

Topping:
1 cup white sugar
2 tb cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tb butter

Lightly grease 9X13 baking dish. Arrange half of bread cubes in the dish, and top with cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over cream cheese and top with remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the dish from fridge about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes until center is firm and surface is lightly browned.
In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst. Stir in the butter and pour over the baked French toast.

Now go forth and devour! We’ll be waiting for you here when you’re done…or better yet, come visit Bridgeford House Bed and Breakfast in Eureka Springs Arkansas and we’ll bake it for you!

Warmest regards,

Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!
