Dinner Favorites

My family was visiting from Owatonna this Christmas! We had a great time talking walks in the snow with the dogs, cooking, baking, playing games, and watching movies. My sister, Rebecca, is just two years younger than me, and my brother, Adam, is just one year younger than her. Both are enjoying a break from sports and school, and we had a lot of fun together! Matt had to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but we made due. Here are a few dinner favorites:

Stuffed Mushrooms

Large portabella mushrooms, stems removed
green onions, chopped
bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces
Parmesan/asiago cheese mix, or whatever kind of cheese you prefer, shredded
*It worked great to put the mushroom caps in with the precooked ham--it only needed to bake for one hour. The caps can them be removed, placed in a separate pan, and stuffed with the green onions, bacon, and shredded cheese. Place back in the oven to let the cheese melt.

Stuffing

Simply add celery and chopped mushroom stems to any stuffing package for extra flavor!

Green Beans

If you're into spices, pan-sear the green beans in oil and add serano pepper and 'Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy' seasoning to taste. I think they taste great when the beans are just a tiny bit burnt and very spicy!

My mom's pumpkin dessert... sorry, can't give that recipe away!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Some fun things to do this weekend! My pics are seeing "Due Date" at the movie theatre in Harmony, painting Christmas ornaments at Potiche Pottery, seeing the "live nativity" at Lanesboro Methodist Church Saturday night, shopping and eating free cookies, and seeing "Little Women" at the Commonweal here in town! Oh, and watching the "Muppet Christmas Carol" at the St. Mane Theatre of course! How will I fit it all in?? Find your favorites and post a comment!

Reno loves the snow!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjOyi9Gi268

We bought Reno a cute little boy's hoodie and cut off the sleeves to make it work better for dogs. Reno LOVES running around and jumping through the snow... but he starts shivering after just 10 minutes! He is getting very good at finding his ball when I throw it into a big snow pile and he can't see it. VERY funny :) I may have to buy cross country skis and have Reno pull me around just so he gets his exercise!

The Month in Review-- November

We had a busier November than usual, and are hoping for the same this month. Trails are groomed for cross country skiing and the town is decorated for holiday festivities so make your reservation now!

Lovely comments from our guests this month-- but no one wrote in our room notebooks! There was just too much to do around here...wine dinners, theatre, the art gallery, free movie showings at the St. Mane, music, and plenty of bicyclers still around believe it or not! Things started to change right at the end of the month with an ice storm followed closely by two blizzards! Lanesboro is now sitting on about an inch of ice. But don-t worry-- the ice is buried in almost 2 feet of snow! Of course, the town is plowed (one advantage of living in a small town...my parents had to wait until the day after the blizzard to be plowed at all) and the rooms at the Inn are all dug out and cozy. Above are a few pictures of winter in Lanesboro to replace our "regularly scheduled" month-in-review... visit our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/coffeestreetinn to see more pictures!
