The Alton Telegraph recently wrote a new article about Connie Davis appropriately titled B&B Owner Shares Love of Cooking. According to Connie, cooking is her passion. She loves the ability to combine this passion with inn-keeping of the beautiful Green Treen Inn.
Published in the December 2017 edition of Flaire Magazine for Women, the story explores Connie’s youth and memories of cooking and managing food in their family household. Growing up on a Missouri farm included important chores such as collecting eggs, gardening fruits and vegetables and later canning and freezing in preparation for the winter each year. She began making complete meals for her family at an early age as well.
“Connie prepares a delicious breakfast and afternoon sweet treat daily all of which will knock your socks off!”
After five years of running Green Tree Inn, many guests have developed a fondness for Connie’s cooking style and delicious recipes.
The hash brown quiche, pumpkin pancakes, fresh baked apples, and peanut butter gooey butter cake all make for a wonderful culinary experience.
