We believe that Valentines Day should be celebrated all February long and not just one day. Since Valentines Day is February 14th, we are offering all of our guests 14% off their second night stay Sunday through Thursday. Add Chocolates, flowers, wine or something truly unique that means something just between you two. We will do whatever we can to make this Valentines Day truly special.
For a list of all of our other specials and packages, you can go to our website and book online.
Most of the recipes I post, I comment that they are really easy to make. I like to pride myself on these types of recipes, because lets face it, we are all really busy. This recipe is probably the 2nd easiest recipe I do for my guests. (The first would be the baked grapefruit). This recipe, a lot of our guests really enjoy. Especially those with young children.
Sherbet Fruit Cup-Serves 2 (depending on the size of fruit and size of glass)
1 Apple, 1 Orange and sherbet (any flavor, but I find that orange and raspberry works the best)
Dice up one apple. Add to fruit cup. Cup on one orange, add to fruit cup. 1 hour before serving, add scoop of sherbet on top of fruit so it is mostly melted when serving. (or if in a hurry, put in microwave for a few seconds). Enjoy

This is the first year that this event will take place. Downtown Oshkosh is the place to be on February 18th from 11:00-3:00. If you are looking for some winter family fun then you have to check out all the activities that are scheduled to take place. The Heart of Winter Celebration will be an annual event to bring people of the house and enjoy what Wisconsin has to offer. There will be ice carving, sledding, dog sled rides for the kids, snow/ice bowling, human shuffelboard, an indoor scavenger hunt and food are just to name a few of the good times to be had.
I know, I know, another apple recipe? Yes, well it is just too good not to share. My vegetarian guests love this recipe and its so easy to make for 1 or 2 people. I made it a little less sweet this morning than I usually do since I had a woman who couldn’t handle things toooo sweet. She said this was perfect and it gave her the protein she needed to get her day going.

They are within walking distance from us which makes it the ideal place to go for a romantic dinner or to meet up with friends. Their banquet facilities are a great place to hold a weddings which means you also have us nearby for your honeymoon night or a whole house rental for your wedding party. One of our favorite nights to stop in are on Wednesdays, for Jazz Orgy. They have $13 bottles of wine and amazing martinis. Ask for their house martini. Its my favorite!

I have been to several yoga studios and I have to say I feel right at home and comfortable at Inner Sun Yoga Studio. If you have never been here, I encourage you to go. Inner Sun presents their second annual snowshoe and yoga adventure trip to the beautiful Camp lakotah by Wautoma. Last year they sold out, so book fast. One of these years I would like to go but then we fill up here, so I don’t get a chance to but I have heard some wonderful things about this trip. This is a one day adventure retreat that will take you away from the craziness of life as you experience the beauty found in winter’s wonderland where the northwoods begins.
Begin your day with a yoga practice at the lodge, followed by some relaxing music with Kellie Lin Knott in front of the stone fireflace with a cup of hot chocolate. You can then choose to stay by the fireplace or join in on snow shoeing/hiking at 12:30 through the majestic pine forest along the trails. Around 2:30 after lunch you will explore the timeless tradition of primal percussion & celebration of community with this unique, interactive drumming experience featuring drums of all colors, shapes & sizes from around the world! There will be a closing ceremony at 4:00 with a light yoga session.
