Shanty Days

Once again...Shanty Days was a big hit in Algoma. The parade fell on a beautiful day, a pleasant mix of sunshine, clouds and a nice breeze and our front lawn was filled with onlookers. Our guests hung out on the patio with their Bloody Marys, soaking up the small town nostalgia and the warm rays of mid August. before heading to see what the street vendors had in store for them. Corn dogs, kettle corn, a blackberry phone cover, fresh wildflower honey, a Packers dog collar and some artwork were purchased and dropped off at the Inn before heading back to see the bands. All in all a very enjoyable weekend was had by all!! Make sure to plan early for next year's Shanty Days Celebration.

Hello Again

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, it sure has been awhile!

The Belle Isle Inn Micro Spa is up and running. You can find me on facebook for pics and updates. I'm also working on a new Green Bay location for my micro spa. I will be taking appointments starting Wednesday the 26th.

The Inn is doing great! We are working on the basement room and plan to open the area mid September. We hope to be able to sleep 4 in this room that we hope to theme as "rustic."

I got "un-screwed!" The last of the removeable hardware is now GONE from my ankle. I should be able to wear shoes pretty soon and I can not wait! It has been almost three years.

Latest recipe from the Inn...

Loaded Blueberry Bread Pudding was a big, no huge hit.

Here is the recipe:

8 C Day old bread cubed

5T butter

2T grapeseed oil

3/4 C dark brown sugar

3/4 C Splenda (one to one Splenda)

3 1/2 C Milk

8 farm fresh eggs

2t vanilla

1/4 C Pampered Chef Cinnamon Sprinkles

2-4 C fresh Blueberries

preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs, br. sugar, splenda and vanilla. Warm milk, butter and grapeseed oil. Blend milk mixture into egg mixture. Using a Pampered chef 9x13 stoneware pan, layer bread, blueberries, bread and blueberries, then pour liquid over top; pushing bread down lightly until all mixture is soaked into bread. Bake for 1 hour, depending on your oven. Note: inside should not be liquidy (is that a word?) Pudding will rise in oven then fall as it cools. Enjoy!!
