Discover the recipes that made mornings unforgettable at the Quilt House Bed & Breakfast, nestled next to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Colorado. For over 25 years, the author’s grandparents served guests hearty, homemade breakfasts that showcased simple, comforting flavors and a touch of mountain charm. Each recipe was created by her grandmother, Miriam, a testament of her creativity and many hours spent in the kitchen during long, harsh winters. Miriam developed most of her recipes with the beginner cook in mind and used few, simple ingredients. Her instructions were straight to the point and descriptive while her ingredient lists were often 5 ingredients or less, thinking of what a farmer would always have on hand. Consequently, many recipes may seem basic but her goal was to ensure a high success rate for any cook of any level.
