More than a dozen bed and breakfasts across the U.S. have whipped up their best holiday recipes in postcard form. Make one every day as a Christmas countdown or print, stamp, and mail, to share deliciousness across the miles

 

New York (November 15, 2021)— Nineteen inns, beds and breakfast and boutique hotels across the country have joined together to create a book of mailable recipes in the form of postcards as a yummy way to countdown the days till Christmas. The edible advent calendar offers a new recipe every day from December 1st through Christmas Eve, December 24th, and a whimsy artistic look.

 

“The idea is to count your blessings, not calories,” says Erin Gilchrist, innkeeper with A'Tuscan Estate Bed & Breakfast in McMinnville, Oregon. “By making these postcards free to download, we’ve whipped up a way to bring people together, regardless of location and circumstance.” Gilchrist provided two recipes for the postcards: Baked Spiced Oatmeal with Cranberries, Apples and Walnuts and Red Velvet Cake Truffles.

The recipe postcards measure 9” across and 6” down and can be printed on a regular-sized sheet of printer paper. One would then affix the design to heavier card stock, stamp, and mail.

 

“Now it’s possible to actually cook together in different kitchens, in different states, even in different countries thanks to video calls. Our hope is the recipe postcards will provide many opportunities for friends and families to virtually connect,” says Dena Finneran, innkeeper of the Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast in Salisbury Mills, New York. “Of course, we also hope in the future people will connect offline and consider a reunion at one of our properties.” Finneran created a festive Pomegranate Sangria recipe card for the countdown. Recipes include holiday drinks, desserts, cookies, breakfast foods, and more. Below is a full list.
