Home At Last! with Patty Gironda

Our newest sweet plate at Casa Bella Bed and Breakfast ! It might be a stretch calling it a French Pancake but what would you called a puffy, grilled pocketless pita with Praline Creme served with Fresh Blueberry Coulis? Our guests called it "delicious" and thought they might actually be able to eat two! That came as a bit of a surprise-as we served it with scrambled eggs and applewood smoked bacon. I grilled the pita with Olivio until golden crispy, spread the warmed pita with Praline Creme and a scant tablespoon of homemade blueberry preserves. Once cooled to the touch, I gently rolled the pita, secured it with a pick and place it on top of some of my fresh coulis. Praline Creme 4 oz each Neuchatel and Cream Cheese 1 container Jello brand Caramel Mousse 1 tbsp toasted pecans 1 tbsp powdered sugar Cream ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate.

        Charming tree-lined streets, fun specialty shopping and plenty of restaurants are waiting for visitors in the quaint shopping district of Ocean Springs-just across the bay from Biloxi. Parking is plentiful, allowing for a leisurely walk through town. Featured in the photos above is The Candy Cottage! Filled with homemade candies and authentic New-Orleans-style pralines, a visiting youth group from Minnesota promises to never forget the sugary pecan candies!
