Baking scones can be daunting, but I’m quite sure you can do it and do it well. For step-by-step instructions, go to the website for our B&B and Nordic spa https://www.featherbedinn.com/the-inn. You’ll find lots of recipes for the breakfasts we serve each day to our guests. Try them at home, or come to our lovely Vermont inn, and we’ll serve you breakfasts you won’t forget anytime soon.

If you can’t eat gluten, you should get to know sweet rice flour (the stuff that mochi is made from). And regardless of your feelings about gluten, you should make these lemon blueberry mochi pancakes.

I’m writing up the recipe, but my computer seems to want to make everything difficult today. If you can’t find the recipe on our website www.featherbedinn.com, try again tomorrow. Maybe my computer and I will be friends by then.

It’s possible that there are more beautiful places somewhere in the world, but this is our favorite.

Running a busy bed & breakfast (and Nordic spa) and building a barn simultaneously isn’t the most efficient way to build a barn. But Mick, with the indispensable assistance from Rob Jordan , is doing a masterful job. And the end is in sight! By next summer we will finally be ready to start hosting retreats and workshops, and our inn guests will be able to use this gorgeous space for hanging out, doing yoga, family gatherings, or any other activities that require a roof and four walls. Stay tuned for updates.

Swimming under the stars with our guests in the lovely Featherbed pond, even when the nighttime temperature has dropped to the low 50s. Just say yes!

We thought we’d have to pull out all the stops when we realized we’d be hosting celebrated cookbook author and chef and husband Bill. But then we realized we pull out all the stops every day, for every single one of our guests, even the ones who aren’t celebrity chefs (which, it’s safe to say, is the majority).
