Guests come to Jeremiah Inn often expecting great sunrises and sunsets, but during the full moon phase they are often treated to a sight like this, with the moon rising over the Catalina Mountains and lighting up the saguaro, prickly pear, cholla cactus and the mesquite trees in the yard. The last full moon was last week on December 2, and the next is expected to be New Years Eve! You are invited to come and see it for yourself – we have guest rooms open for you.

Jeremiah Inn Bed and Breakfast wants to thank all of those heros who have served in our armed forces, past and present. The innkeepers cherish those God given freedoms you have protected. If you are a guest of ours, we hope you will let us know of your service so that we can thank you personally. We honor you.

Here they come...
...and there they go!
On Sunday, November 1, Jeremiah Inn’s guests awoke to hundreds of runners and walkers greeting a beautiful day by participating in the Fleet Feet TMC Half Marathon and running past the bed and breakfast at about 7:30 am and returning over the next several hours. The weather was perfect, the course was scenic (naturally!) and along the course various musicians were there to encourage the runners (including a bagpiper in kilt!). You may wish to plan your visit to Jeremiah Inn around taking part in one of the area’s many running events.

It’s hard to believe that only 24 miles from Jeremiah Inn Bed and Breakfast you will find spectacular fall foliage on Mt. Lemmon’s slopes. Yesterday, innkeepers, Beth and Bob Miner, packed a picnic lunch and within a 45 minute drive reached 8000 feet elevation (and went from 80 degrees to 50 degrees!). We enjoyed a one mile loop walk into the richness of Bear Wallow Creek’s canopy of maples and aspens, from the Sunset Trail near milepost 23. On the way to Mt. Lemmon’s Ski Valley, the hillside was glowing with the yellows and golds of aspens. From the depth of the carpet of already fallen leaves, it wouldn’t seem like the trees would have any left on their branches, but not so! Tucson is truly fortunate to have desert beauty and mountain beauty side by side. B & B guests will love the diversity of the region and find fall colors and fragrances refreshing.

The vinca and hybiscus flowers that grace the front door pots at Jeremiah Inn Bed and Breakfast occasionally become just too tempting for the local critters. If the deer, javelina, and squirrels could leave these salads alone, we might have larger plants for greeting guests on their arrival. Sometimes they want a change in their diet, too, I guess.

Mornings at Jeremiah Inn are still pleasantly warm (60′s) for serving and eating breakfast on the patio, but when the temperatures begin to fall, guests will enjoy returning to the dining room with the seasonal centerpieces that decorate their breakfast setting. Breakfast is always a highlight of the B & B, and a pretty table helps welcome guests to their new day of exploring Tucson’s attractions.

When guests arrive at Jeremiah Inn, one of their first questions is, “What time do you serve breakfast?”. Bed and Breakfast guests know that one element making the B & B experience special, is the hot, cooked breakfast they will enjoy after awaking from their restful sleep. The plate shown below was the entree following the fresh brewed coffee, varietal juices, and yogurt/granola parfait they were already enjoying. Besides the colorful and healthy fresh fruit, the dusted whole wheat pancakes, maple bacon, and egg scramble made a perfect blend of carbohydrates and protein for a busy day of visiting Tucson’s attractions. Oh, and breakfast is served from 7:30am until 8:30am (or 9:00am weekends)! See you there -

Recent Tucson showers brought out flowers in Jeremiah Inn’s backyard garden. The bright purple blooms attract honeybees and hummingbirds to an already active landscape. Fall weather appears to be settling in with temperatures coming into the low 80′s. Bed and Breakfast guests can still enjoy patio dining with spectacular views. It’s a great time to be in Tucson!

Guests at Jeremiah Inn Bed and Breakfast exclaim over the yogurt parfait served with a topping of fresh baked granola. They often request the recipe and since I baked a fresh batch today, I thought I would share the recipe while the aroma is still lingering in the kitchen!
In a large mixing bowl, combine: 4 cups oats, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup wheat germ, 3/4 cup bran cereal, 1/2 cup chopped almonds, 1/4 cup coconut. In a separate cup, combine: 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup cooking oil, and 1 tsp vanilla. Warm this 30 secs. in microwave. Mix together thoroughly and turn mixture onto a 10 X 15 jelly roll pan (with edges). Bake at 350 for approx 40 mins, but open the oven periodically (perhaps three times) and stir the mixture gently to produce even browning. After baking stir while cooling to avoid “clumping”. Makes 8 to 10 cups. When cool, store in covered airtight container.
Layer two or three flavors of yogurt in a small glass dish and top with the granola. I like to blend plain yogurt with the flavors to reduce “sweetness” and lower calories in the dish. You have a healthy and delicious start to your breakfast!

At the end of the Echo Canyon Loop Trail, innkeepers, Bob and Beth Miner came upon this formation that appeared to us to be a hand-shaped rock, feeding a rock-shaped rock, to a face-shaped rock. Maybe it was the heat??? When you visit Jeremiah Inn Bed and Breakfast and take your day trip to Chiricahua National Monument, you’ll have fun naming formations, too.
