Traveling Through Little Rock, AR on Christmas Night?

If you have to travel on Christmas night, it can feel very lonely.  This year, we are inviting you to join us and our neighbors for appetizers and wine at Robinwood B&B.  Or if you are already in town, but need to get a break from family activities, leave the kids with the grandparents, grab a room with a Jacuzzi, and relax in luxury.

I hope you’ll call us and make a reservation soon.

Congratulations Erin and Devon

Robinwood hosted a beautiful wedding ceremony today.  With friends and family present, Erin and Devon exchanged vows and became man and wife.  It was followed by a lovely reception in the dining room.

I promised you a Breakfast Casserole!

Okay, so Thanksgiving is almost here and that morning will be crazy with family running around the house, and cooks trying frantically to get a feast ready in the kitchen.  Somehow, someone will demand breakfast!  This casserole is from an old family friend and modified to make it work a little easier.  It will shock and amaze your family at your culinary skill.  One guest calls it my “Breakfast Lasagne”
Ingredients:

1 package seasoned croutons

1 can cream of mushroom soup (cream of chicken can be used for non-mushroom fans!)

1/3 cusp  half and half

6 beaten eggs

2 cups grated cheese -cheddar

1  pound sausage

4 eggs, 1/2 cup half and half, 1 cup cheddar cheese

Directions:

Grease 9 X 12 baking dish.  Spread croutons in the bottom of the dish.  Sprinkle cheese over the cheese.  Spread brouned sausage over the cheese .  Beat eggs, milk, and soup together and pour over the top.  Refrigerate overnite.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat 4 eggs and 1/2 cups half and half together, pour on top of casserole.  Bake for 50 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake for 10 minutes.  Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serve.

Happy Thanksgiving from Robinwood B&B

Weddings at Robinwood

Mother and I were talking about what we wanted to do at Robinwood this winter, and we decided we would like to make Robinwood B&B romance central for November, December, and January.

We are putting together new packages for elopements and weddings.
