Well, in addition to all the normal in-house maintenance tasks we take on each winter at Bella Rose, we also like to branch out and try a few new breakfast recipes.  I'm not going to give all the secrets away, but I am going to whet the whistle a bit.  First on the "to try" list within the next couple of days is something I just found in one of my favorite cooking magazines -- Bacon and Leek Risotto with Poached Egg.  The Italian in me just can't resist the sounds of this one -- not to mention it reads just like something I know would taste absolutely yummy and be an unexpected treat besides. Those who know me know I'm not all that great at dreaming up my own recipes, but they also know I can spot a good one a mile away.....  So, let's hope this is the case. Chris is the perfect Guinea Pig so he gets to sample all new recipes before we place them in front of guests.  Can you imagine putting an "unknown" in front of six hungry people on a Sunday morning?  NO THANKS!  I'm not that brave!  So, stay tuned.....I'll report back and let you know if it's a winner or a loser.  I'm hoping it's delish!  I'll also let you know what's next on the list to try.......it will be a something more along the sweeter side of life!
