We hosted Kyle & Stacey from Orlando's 67 Days of Smiles and showed them around our small town of Mount Dora. Take a peak of our off-roadin' Segway tour, boat cruise in the Dora Canal, and find out what made them smile! :o)

Okay. I know this has nothing to do with breakfast or inns ... but more of a day in the life of a small town. Our home base is in Mount Dora and we have a very very cool ghost walk. But for Halloween, they make it "extra special" with more creepy things lurking in corners ... more bloody goop ... more suspense ... and of course more to make the hair on the back of your neck stick up. To get everyone in the mood for hauntings, they led a "zombie crawl" though our Craft Festival last weekend. Whoa.

Good thing I didn't have to voice over this one! Between the Zombie Crawl, Jeepers Creepers and generally just getting jumpy and freaked out over nothing this Halloween week ... I think I've popped a lung and scrubbed my vocal chords with a brillo pad! If you're around town this evening ... you may just be scared the be-ge-sus out of by yours truly. Though, I doubt you'll recognize me in my zombie-wear! Muwahhahahah ...

Find out who/what is a Penny Farthing ... my favorite place to catch a view of the Florida coast ... where you might find paranormal activity ... and the easiest Berry French Toast you can make at home.

Here are 4 recipes in under 4 minutes. It's 2.5 minutes to be exact. Does your life ever feel like it's moving this fast? Mine does! It was certainly a crazy day of baking and eating ... thank God for neighbors and friends to help gobble up the goodies we made during this little time lapse experiment ...

Meet Vanessa. She's a good buddy of mine. We met at the Travel Channel Academy and I'm lucky to have her working on Inn The Kitchen with me.

Earlier this year she submitted a video for Tourism Queensland's Best Job In The World. And while she didn't go to Australia ... I think it's because we already HAVE the best job in the world.

I wanted to share this video of her because I think her personality and passion for life really shines through.

More "Meet The Crew" videos coming this week ...

Rachelle and Brian escape to San Francisco for the weekend and take a road trip up to St. Helena in Napa Valley. Discover this charming town, find out how Glass Mountain Inn got it's name, and take a peak at the wine cave that gave Brian pinot envy. Take a look at the recipe we picked up from Glass Mountain Inn, Julie's Croissant Bread Pudding.

This was a FUN DAY on the set of Daytime in Tampa. Lights ... Camera ... ACTION ... we whip up a recipe in 4 minutes. Wish it were that quick in a "real" kitchen. Ha!

Vanessa gives us a tour of a hidden gem of a B&B on Duval Street in Key West. Family-friendly and Green Certified, this Inn provides a peaceful escape.

Take a peak at the original Cypress House in Key West, FL. Vanessa gives us a tour of this Certified Green Bed & Breakfast. Find out who build the house (hint, it wasn't a typical builder), and other amenities that make this an eco-friendly Inn.

Vanessa shows us an Inn that is at the end of the road ... literally. Located at the end of US 1 in a quaint Key West neighborhood, this B&B was originally lodging for cigar makers in the early 1900's. Now a Florida Certified Green Lodging establishment, this Inn caters to those wanting to preserve some of Key West's natural beauty.
