If you want a homey feel and fantastic food, The Old Hotel is where to go. The owners are so very nice. And we slept SO well in our piles of comforters and flannel sheets. It’s only too bad that we had to be up early to get on the road!
But before we left, a gourmet breakfast!
Strong locally roasted coffee sure beats hotel pots!
The bread basket with apple butter and jam.
Notice that we both dove for the butter first! Matt has taught me how much butter enhances bread. Just a thin layer on mine – he slathers it on!
While waiting for our breakfast to arrive I taught Matt to do the smiling frown
The ultimate MOM face
I think he’s got it?
To eat we turned down smoked salmon eggs benedict and crepes for what we really wanted: oatmeal and yogurt. But fancified!
The oatmeal was served with hot buttery sweet apples and upon our request – a bowl of peanut butter!!
The yogurt – perfectly plain – had maple, blackberries and a croissant
We took a big bite out of this bad boy but I was more into the yogurt – for real.
Matt and I shared both dishes because we couldn’t decide which was better. I am now stuffed with my two favorite breakfasts and dressed for some snowshoeing! We’re off to Bozeman for the rest of the weekend. Can’t wait to return!

Alaina says
January 15, 2011 at 10:22 amI love B&B’s! David and I went to one in North Conway that overlooked Mt. Washington in the middle of winter. The breakfast was the best. 🙂
JenATX says
January 15, 2011 at 10:23 amis that why bread & butter taste so good together? the butter enhances the bread? interesting!
Evan Thomas says
January 15, 2011 at 10:24 amThe breakfast spread looks delicious. I love it when a place goes the extra mile and answers individual requests. I always ask for a little bowl of peanut butter when we go to brunch and they never fail me.
Erin says
January 15, 2011 at 10:26 amBahaha! My little boy does the smile frown…He calls it the “old man” smile.
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
January 15, 2011 at 10:28 amThat breakfast looks delicious – and love B&Bs!! Such amazing experiences in them.
Kara says
January 15, 2011 at 10:31 amMatt’s smiling frown is hilarious! I think I make that face when the baby is squealing in public 🙂
Alicia @culinarybliss says
January 15, 2011 at 10:32 amoh man that face over a mug gave me shivers!
Amanda (Eating Up) says
January 15, 2011 at 10:32 amThose apples look like they would be a fantastic addition to oatmeal. Like grilled bananas!

January 15, 2011 at 10:40 amwe are going to be near a Great Harvest this weekend, in Austin, TX. Any reccommendations on what I should buy to bring home? I have never been to a GH but have wanted too for so long! I am super excited to finally be in close proximity to one.
Kath says
January 15, 2011 at 5:37 pmAsk for a slice and taste them all! I love Dakota, High Five Fiber and Flax Oat Bran
Trish @I_am_Succeeding says
January 15, 2011 at 10:43 amB7B’s are the best…they beat a hotel or motel any day!
katiebiss says
January 15, 2011 at 10:47 amCongrats Kath and Matt!!! It sounds like you had an incredible time! PS, I giggled out loud at the smiling frown and MOM face. Too cute!
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
January 15, 2011 at 10:49 amI wonder if I ever make the “MOM face”. 🙂
Ann @ Day by Day says
January 15, 2011 at 10:54 amHahaha I love your smiling frown! Our old principal at my middle school used to do that, so whenever I see someone with a smiling frown, I think of her. I love that cool mug! Looks like a wonderful breakfast.
Simply Life says
January 15, 2011 at 10:57 amoh what a great breakfast!
Felicity says
January 15, 2011 at 10:58 am“The smiling frown” you’re so fun, you crack me up! : )
Mom says
January 15, 2011 at 11:00 amI make that face? Since when? Yuck.
Kath says
January 15, 2011 at 5:38 pmNo you don’t – moms who wear mom jeans do!
Leslie says
January 15, 2011 at 11:04 amI’m a mom and I can’t make the face but Matt looks just like my husband when he does it! We (my girls and I) always try to imitate that look. Glad to know it’s called the smiling frown!
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
January 15, 2011 at 11:04 amLooks like a fantastic breakfast! So much protein in there it’s ridic. Have a good day! 🙂
Camille says
January 15, 2011 at 11:07 amI love B&Bs! Great owners make the experience so much better. I was at a B&B in Edinburgh, Scotland and the owners were two of the nicest people I have ever met. They made me a special breakfast every morning because I am a vegetarian and they told me to call them if I needed anything when I was in London and they would drive down and help me. How sweet is that!?
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
January 15, 2011 at 11:08 amSometimes, a little oatmeal and yogurt can seem to solve the problems of the world. And the photo of the flowers is beautiful.
Sarah @ goingongoals says
January 15, 2011 at 11:11 amyour ultimate MOM face is great!!

January 15, 2011 at 11:11 amMy mom does that face too! Is that a universal mom face? That breakfast looks awesome. Have fun snowshoeing!
Heather says
January 15, 2011 at 11:14 amLooks like a great breakfast – Happy Belated Birthday to Matt!
Enjoy snowshoeing – I have never done that before!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
January 15, 2011 at 11:15 amBahahha smiley frown! I think you need another 30 years of practice, Kath. You have not a wrinkle of your face!
Tara says
January 15, 2011 at 11:22 amO.k.the mom smile was killin’ me. I laughed out loud.
Haleigh says
January 15, 2011 at 11:24 amWhat a fantastic breakfast spread! It looks like the breakfasts that the hotels in Europe serve. Yum!

Haha… I love the faces!!! 😀
Maren says
January 15, 2011 at 11:45 amThe frown is so true. My mom made that face at me all the time growing up. Your’s is the best but Matt’s is the funnies. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that picture.
Lauren says

Allie says
January 15, 2011 at 11:55 amWhat an awesome looking breakfast!!! Have fun snow shoeing, I have always wanted to try that! I love your smiling-frown/mom face… my mom makes that a lot 😉
Emily says
January 15, 2011 at 12:18 pmThat place looks so great and cozy 🙂 I really am so much more of an oats/comfort breakfast person than eggs, although they’re nice sometimes, too. Sooo excited to hear about Bozeman, enjoy!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
January 15, 2011 at 12:21 pmoh that is a mom face for sure. happy birthday to matt – looks like a wonderful time. congrats on “graduating!”
Amanda @ Just Amanda J says

Christena says
January 15, 2011 at 12:32 pmGosh, you guys are hilarious with the MOM face. We do a variation called the pug face — Matt’s almost doing it, but has too much smile in the eyes….!
Susan says
January 15, 2011 at 12:32 pmHaha! My mother has perfected the smile frown. It’s her go-to face when we are mid-conversation and her mind has wandered. It’s usually followed by, “Welllll…”
Erika @ FoodFitnessFun says
January 15, 2011 at 12:32 pmI love Bed and Breakfasts. My family always trys to stay at them when we are travelling. They have the BEST breakfasts. 🙂
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
January 15, 2011 at 12:52 pmWhat a lovely breakfast! I love everything about it, especially the homemade appeal. It’s hard to find service and quality like that in the corporate world of lodging. 🙂
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
January 15, 2011 at 12:54 pmThat oatmeal looks good! I wonder how they made it…it doesn’t look creamy, but in a good way. If that makes sense?
Kath says
January 15, 2011 at 5:39 pmIt tasted like it was made the old fashioned water boiling way to me
Allison @ Happy Tales says
January 15, 2011 at 12:56 pmNow that looks like a delicious breakfast… mmm apple butter! Flying Biscuit here in Charlotte has some of the best…
Julie says
January 15, 2011 at 12:59 pmThere is a lady at our church who does the “frown smile”. It freaks my teenage kids out. So once in a while hubby and I do it just to creep them out! Mean, huh?
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
January 15, 2011 at 1:06 pmYour breakfast looks scrumptious! Love your guys cute faces!!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
January 15, 2011 at 3:05 pmThat place looks so cute and homey. (I would have gone for the oatmeal option too.)
Congrats on your “graduation” and safe travels back!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
January 15, 2011 at 3:14 pmSounds like a perfect way to start the day! I never think to order peanut butter with my oats. I need to remember that! Enjoy your adventure today!

Kath says

Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says

Faith @ lovelyascharged says

Anne (butter and bear) says
January 15, 2011 at 4:16 pmLove the faces! I give the smiling frown to my husband on a daily basis, and reserve it for my son when he is throwing a temper tantrum in public!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
January 15, 2011 at 4:24 pmThat does look like a very comfy place. And that oatmeal- dannng, it’s perfect!
[email protected] Sweet Life says
January 15, 2011 at 4:42 pmYou look so much like your mom in those photos! So fun. Bozeman is fantastic-check out Moose Mart if you’re in need of groceries.
Tessa says
January 15, 2011 at 4:58 pmYour overnight stay looks awesome! I need that in my life right now.
Tracy @ Commit To Fit says

That breakfast looks delicious. I’m with Matt, real butter really does enhance bread.
Jessica says
January 15, 2011 at 8:52 pmHave you ever seen the ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham? Matt’s mom smile looks like the face of his old man dummy, Walter 🙂
That breakfast does look delicious… it’s been so long since I’ve had a croissant!
Jessica
Caroline says
January 15, 2011 at 8:53 pmHAHAHAHAHAH love the mom face. Too good. Also reminds me of like a conniving businessman or something…
Hannah says
January 15, 2011 at 9:08 pmThat’s the sign of a good B&B – being able to cater to your tastes in a quality way 🙂 Also, that expression is HILARIOUS! Don’t think my mum ever did it, though…
Kiran says
January 15, 2011 at 9:09 pmHaha! Mom face is super cute!
stacey-healthylife says
