We set our alarm for 6:30 to make the 7:30 seating for breakfast at the inn so we could get on our way. Despite going to bed late for eastern time, I woke up at 5AM wide awake! But luckily I was able to dose for another hour.
We came down to a beautiful set dining room. I promptly told the other guests I was a food blogger so I’d be snapping some photos. They were friendly and just said "cool!" I find it’s best to just be honest upfront instead of having people give you weird looks when you pull the camera out from under the table. It’s also good publicity if they ask for your card!
The meal started with coffee
And a fruit plate
I ate all of the fruit – love fruit!
Matt ordered the egg dish, which was a baked ramekin of a meat, cheese and egg
I had a bite, but I am much more of a cereal person in the mornings!
So you can imagine my delight when our host told us yesterday that the cold cereal option was homemade granola! I think granola might be my new proclaimed favorite food. I can’t get enough of it these days! When she mentioned the granola, I asked if they might have any plain yogurt in the kitchen to have it on instead of milk and they were happy to put some out for me. It never hurts to ask! Others at the table used the yogurt too, so it was a wise request.
Last but certainly not least, these HUGE croissants came out in a basket. Matt and I shared one. I’ve never been a fan of croissants in the past, but lately they have been so good when I’ve had them out!
The bear and I are blogging and next we’re setting out on a wild west adventure through Yellowstone! I will be back this evening with a full report of photos!

What a lovely breakfast! It’s like it was designed for you. 🙂
I get comments every time I take pics at a restaurant, I still get embarrassed, especially when I have to use flash lol. 😳

Julie says
How pretty and quaint! Enjoy your wild west adventure!!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
What a cute breakfast setting. And how nice to have such lovely company…the bear I mean =)
Enjoy your day!
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Haha, I love that you told them why you were taking photos. I feel like that conversation either goes really well or really wtf when I have it
Daria @ Daria Can Cook says
Beautiful breakfast! That’s nice that they were so accommodating. 🙂
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
Croissants are one of the few things that I can never pass up in a bread basket. Especially if they’re homemade!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
What a beautiful breakfast presentation! That granola looks very good! I’ve never been an “egg” person for breakfast…
Enjoy the rest of your trip 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i’m not a huge croissant person but when they’re hot and fluffy out of the oven, i will *force* myself to try it…..
the bear is gonna LOVE jellystone national park! make sure he doesn’t steal any picnic baskets….
Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian) says
NEVER hurts to ask! good luck today!!!
kay (eating machine) says
gorgeous breakfast! i love staying at bed and breakfasts… such fun food!
Ashley says
Have fun in Yellowstone. I have lived in Wyoming my entire life and spent many summer camping trips in the park. You must see Old Faithful, morning glory, and Mammoth if you can swing it. Hope you pack some warm clothing it can be pretty chilly in the Park.
Susan says
I’m with you on the picture taking thing. I’ve been doing that approach lately and people respond much better to it!
That egg+cheese dish that Matt got looks fab!! And there’s nothing like a great croissant, too bad there are so many crappy ones floating around out there.
Leianna says
Homemade granola and yogurt is a perfect breakfast!
I love that napkin ring/zebra, very cute!
Glad everyone at your table thought it was “cool” you were taking pictures!
Jenna says
that fruit plate looks sooo yummy 🙂

Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
How fun! Have you always been up front about the picture taking?
Peanut Butter bliss says
i love how old fashion and cozy your breakfast set up looks!!
Kristen says
I LOVE B&B breakfasts!! I guess that is kinda redundant.
Pretty granola. I think it is the best food ever.
Enjoy Yellowstone. 😀
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
Yum! Totally digging Matt’s breakfast and your fruit!
Have fun at Yellowstone!
Kristen says
Don’t you just love Bed & Breakfasts? I traveled around Ireland for two weeks last fall and stayed in so many. It was great to have breakfast included and speaking with both the hosts and other guests.
Although I do like oatmeal, any egg dish is my favorite morning meal. It fills me up more than oatmeal too. Just goes to show how everyone is different!
Enjoy the rest of your trip 🙂
Wendy says
Your breakfast reminds me of the inn where we stayed for our wedding weekend. I LOVE B&B breakfasts and hospitality!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
What a smart idea about “warning” people up front. I’m sure they thought it was pretty cool and you’ll have some new readers 🙂
It never does hurt to ask. The worst someone can say is no when you ask and then you can adjust. The best is that you get what you like 🙂
jessica @ how sweet it is says
I love that mug, reminds me of my grandmas china!
Carrie H says
Hey, Kath, did you guys realize that all those beers from yesterday are named after fly fishing flies? The yellow humpy, hopper pale, copper john — those are all flies! Maybe you did, but I live in the West too (Wyoming!) and I just wanted to point that tiny little detail out. Fly-fishing is truly an art/lifestyle here!
Have fun in Yellowstone!
Diana says
That bear is so cute 🙂
I think it’s a great idea to just say you’re a food blogger. People usually just think I’m weird ahaha Must start doing that too 😛
I’m definitely not one to eat eggs and that kind of thing in the morning. I think it’s mostly a culture thing though, we just don’t usually eat those foods for breakfast here in Portugal.
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) says
That all looks so delicious and very cute. We’ve never stayed at a B&B but it’s definitely on our list of things to do. Have a great day!
Stacey says
Me too! Jason eats the craziest things for breakfast…I just look at him like ‘What the heck??’ Haha. I definitely stick with oats or cereal for breakie a lot more than eggs..mostly because eggs and things like that keep me full for long, and I’m a snacky kind of person!!!
Enjoy Yellowstone! I can’t wait to see the pics 🙂
Lindsay says
What a lovely breakfast!
Enjoy Yellowstone!
caronae says
Cute little breakfasts at B&B’s are the best! Have fun adventure-ing!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
ooooh! I love croissants! I used to make french toast with croissants when I was in high school–not sure why I stopped!
Tay says
What a beautiful breakfast layout!!
Whitney @ Lettuce Love says
Everything looks perfect! I love having a big plate of fruit for breakfast.
Molly says
i love yellowstone! nothing like seeing animals in their natural habitat!!!
[email protected] says
I wish I was better about telling people why I am taking photos of my food! I am always so shy about it.
I love breakfasts at inns and b & b’s, its always just that extra bit more special than home or a restaurant.
Meg says
Sounds like you are having an amazing time and the food looks yummy!
Do you have any pumpkin recipes you might want to submit for my e-book to benefit breast cancer research? Info is on my blog. 🙂
MarathonVal says
I can’t believe you don’t love croissants.. on my honeymoon (at the buffets) my favorite breakfast indulgence (that I indulged in a LOT!!) was warm croissants slathered in PB and Nutella…. oh my, to die for!!!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
My goodness Kath, this breakfast look amazing! So healthy and so many choices. I’m so impressed. Hope you have a fabulous day! 🙂
Kerris says
Yum! Looks like one of those great mornings. Love the pictures with the bear BTW!
maria says
I’m still figuring out the whole “food blogger” in the real world business and how to tell people/take my photos without it being super weird.
Julie @savvyeats says
I still haven’t gotten used to explaining to people why I’m taking pictures of my food! 🙂
Christy says
that breakfast is so dang cute! something that you’d see in a movie!!
skinnyrunner says
what a fab looking breakfast! i love the coffee in a “dressy” coffee cup. cute!
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) says
I love the dishes from breakfast, and your granola sounds really good. I love that they were able to put some plain yogurt out for the granola, too – I prefer granola with yogurt over milk 🙂
Emily (Emily Eats and Exercises) says
Cereal with milk doesn’t fill me up unless I eat an obscene amount, but yogurt is much better.
I’m new to the blogging scene but I’ve been working on figuring out how to deal with the whole pictures in public thing. I think the more established I feel about the blog the easier it is just to tell people.
ellen eats beets says
mmm granola!!
Kath says
Meredith,
Not as much as lately, but I have never been secretive or embarrassed. Blogs are cool!
Carrie,
Oh how fun!
Kath
BroccoliHut says
What a dainty fruit plate!
