1. Breakfast should be hot.

Our breakfast arrives right from our oven with a special potholder that advises our guests that it is "HOT!"

2. Breakfast should be individually prepared for our guests.

We cook your breakfast specifically for you and it will always be served so that you can take it anywhere. Our guests have been known to take the entire picnic basket to the Garden of the Gods for a breakfast among the red rocks.

3. Breakfast should be served at several times.

We offer breakfast at 8:30 AM or 9 AM.

4. Breakfast should be served anywhere.

If you are shy or just want to dine alone with your sweetie, we deliver breakfast to your door at no extra charge. If you wish to mingle with other guests, we serve you on one of our covered porches or in The Secret Garden.

5. Breakfast ingredients should be fresh.

Our muffins are baked with fresh blueberries and our fruit bowl will always hold fresh fruit. You will never find a poached, canned pear at Blue Skies Inn.

6. Breakfast should be recognizable.

We will never serve you a breakfast dish that has a mysterious name or requires explanation, leaving you wondering what exactly it is.

7. Breakfast should be plentiful.

Many of our guests claim that they can skip lunch after enjoying our generously sized breakfast. We are happy to serve you as many muffins as you can possibly eat! (Guest record is six.)

8. Breakfast recipes should be shared.

If you fall in love with one of our dishes, we will print the recipe for you to take home.

9. Take-home bags should always be available for your extra muffins.

The current record for farthest-traveled muffins is Hong Kong, compliments of Wayne & Sigi. (We missed having our muffins photographed by a guest on the Great Wall of China because of a canceled flight.) We invite you to send us photos of your muffins and where they travel, and we will post the "farthest traveled" on our website.
