Over the years, I’ve used recipes from many guests, past business clients, friends and relatives resulting in Suzie’s Sour Cream Pound Cake, Mike’s Tomato Jam, and Susan’s Cranberry Walnut Bread to name a few.
So now it’s your turn to send me the recipe for your favorite dish that we should serve for breakfast. Once we make the selection, we’ll invite you to the inn to be our Breakfast Chef of the Day and help us make your recipe.
All entries are due no later than January 15th. Please send all recipes and your comments as to why we should serve it to stay@innatriverbend.com. In the subject line write: ”Calling all breakfast cooks”

To start off with I have no set measurements of ingredients. My father who was 6’9″ joined the Navy to become a cook decades ago because during the draft he thought the Army might grab him & at 6’9″ he would be placed on the front line & he probably would not of come home. He was my inspiration when it came to cooking.
My favorite breakfast that my family & friends enjoy is my Cinnamin French Toast & Strawberry or Blueberry Yogurt Syrup/whip cream with Fresh Fruit on the side smoothered in homemade whip cream.
First I buy whole loaf bakers bread & slice into thick pieces to serve.
In a bowl I mix eggs,vanilla, cinnamin, milk
I let the bread sit in this mix for approx 3-5 minutes.
On a second plate I put sugar, cinnamin, brown sugar,
After the bread is saturated I dip into the dry mix & than place on the griddle.
After the French Toast is cooked, I sprinkle more of the same mix on top.
In a separate bowl I mix ( individual preference )
of either strawberry or blueberry yogurt, dash of Aunt Jemima Syrup, extra fresh fruit, small anount of whipped cream spooned in and layer over the French Toast.
I than top with Confectioner Sugar & homemade whip cream.
Than to the side of that I add the same fresh fruit with a small bowl of homemade whipped cream to dip their fruit in..or if I feel like it I just layer it on top of the fresh fruit.
Thats my favorite breakfast I make on special occassions..I think you should serve Rose’s French Toast just so you can see your guest roll their eye’s to the back of their heads..LOL..Seriously, I think all would love it..It is mouth watering & pretty to look at..The fatter the bread the better the toast..
