Recipes to Try: Blood Orange Chocolate Brownies
A Recipe from Andon-Reid Inn Bed & Breakfast
Food can connect us to some of our most memorable moments. For innkeeper Brenda Beznoska, who grew up traveling for her father’s career in the military and eventually her own, these delicious brownies never fail to remind her of home. And, if there’s one ingredient that elevates this dessert, it’s the recent addition of a locally sourced blood-orange-pressed olive oil. Served every afternoon at the historic Andon-Reid Inn Bed & Breakfast, guests can’t get enough of these fresh-baked treats.
