Wake up and Smell the Coffee


This week I will be featuring my favorite recipes from the cookbook "Wake up and Smell the Coffee,  Favorite Breakfast and Brunch Recipes from the Pacific Northwest's Best Bed and Breakfast Inns." I bought it at Allegory Books and Music at The Shops at Salishan in Gleneden Beach on the Oregon coast. This cookbook was published in 1990 and I did most of my cooking from this cookbook in the 90's, so these recipes fit the "older" recipe category. I remember taking it to the Oregon Coast on vacation several times, so that I could cook from it, I used it that much!

The following recipe was the first recipe that I used from this book. It is from The White Swan Guest House in Mount Vernon, Washington. I made this Strawberry Bread with Strawberry Cream Cheese and took it to a baby shower and several people asked me for the recipe. I have not made this in at least 10 years, but it is worth mentioning.

The following is another recipe for Cherry Scones is also from The White Swan Guest House. These scones are very easy to make and using a heart shaped cookie cutter makes them extra special.

This recipe for Peach Kuchen is from The Gilbert Inn  located in Seaside, Oregon. This is especially good served warm with breakfast or brunch.

This recipe for Maryellen's Magic Muffins is from Maryellen's Guest House in Eugene, Oregon.  I couldn't find a website, but I believe it is still in business. These muffins have a lot of fiber and are low fat.

This recipe for Blackberry Cobbler is from Westwinds Bed and Breakfast in Friday Harbor, Washington. They are still in business, but I could not find a website for them. They serve their guests this dessert after a full breakfast! You can also serve it for dessert after dinner!
