Early Morning Paddle

This has been such a spectacular week. The weather has been summer time perfect. One of our rare pleasures is to rise with the sun while all of Suttons Bay is still quiet and serene....drag our kayaks across an M~22 that lacks any traffic to the bay. To view the early morning sun as the fog is lifting on a crystal clear bay is just breath taking. One of life's truly simple but majestic pleasures. That's why we live in this beautiful village we call home.

Have You Had Your Granola Today?

As the owners/inn keepers of Korner Kottage Bed and Breakfast in Northern Michigan, we have more free time this time of year than in any other season. We sigh with relief for some much needed rest and relaxation for ourselves. But that being said, on the other hand we also anxiously await guest interactions in our house. Even our resident "welcome to the B&B greeter" Nestle Quik (our portuguese water dog) feels and senses the quietness inside. So our challenge becomes~how to purposely fill this space of extra time.

Not to worry , this additional gift of time affords us to focus on our other passion, which is making the best krunchy, filled with heart healthy protein and fiber, whole wheat and multi grains, flax and hemp seed, dried fruits and healthy nuts~Korner Kottage Krunch~homemade gourmet granola. It is our passion to offer our guests the freshest, healthiest and locally Michigan made granola product around.

We've researched and taste tested many granola mixes out on the market. We feel we have developed the best of the best. In doing research we discovered the nutritional value and perfect protein booster of the hemp seed. No other single source has its proteins that are so easily digested. Hemp is a source of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids as well as amino acids that our own bodies do not make or store naturally. It's important to consume small amounts of these on a daily basis. So we grind the hemp seeds and loving add them to our granola recipe. Along with hemp seeds we also grind and add flax seeds for the same nutritional benefits.

Now our guests are not at first necessarily interested in the health benefits of Korner Kottage Krunch. All they rave about is the unique taste and krunchiness. When we tell of all the additional health benefits it's just an added bonus. We serve our heart healthy, good for you granola as a topping to our morning offering of fresh local fruits with yogurt. But we also slip it into our home made cookie dough or our home made muffins. Korner Kottage Krunch can easily be added to many common foods and recipes to offer that extra nutritional bonus.

So as we settle into this quieter time at the Bed and Breakfast in Suttons Bay~you may just find us testing and sampling new and creative ways to make our guests healthier. We are creating menus to our morning breakfasts in which to serve heart healthy, daily dose of Korner Kottage Krunch~home made gourmet granola.
