Last week the Texas Bed & Breakfast Association (TBBA) awarded The Katy House...

2022 Winner for Best Breakfast

Receiving the Best Breakfast Award from a statewide organization - across all TBBA properties - is more than I could have ever dreamed.

Our Breakfast & My Heart

As we strive to create an unforgettable guest experience for those who walk through our doors, receiving the Best Breakfast Award from TBBA caused me to replay every win, mistake & redo we've experienced in this kitchen. Ha, it's funny how that happens!

We receive acknowledgment for something incredible, then my mind wanders through every moment that should exclude us from receiving such accolades. I imagine I'm not the only one that can travel down that rabbit hole, so here's a glimpse into mine...There is no perfection here. Our butter isn't molded in delicate shapes. We don't have elaborate place settings. Our fruit isn't cut into boutique arrangements...and the list goes on. (disclaimer: I love all of the touches above, but it's just not what we do here...at least, not today)

From the moment I heard the words "the award goes to The Katy House Bed & Breakfast" to penning this letter, here's what my mind-mapping concluded: we prepare and serve the foods we love most. It's pretty simple actually. Our hearts are in every place setting touched, every blueberry placed in my dad's pancake recipe, every egg whipped, and every pinch of seasoning sprinkled on Joe's maple-sausage gravy. Every detail - for every guest - has the signature of our hearts on it.

So today, more than anything, the Best Breakfast Award is a reflection of the posture of our hearts, rather than perfection. It's through a genuine gift of service and loving people that we welcome you and share our family-style, southern breakfast. It's my hope that when you gather around our table your stomach is satisfied, and your heart is happy. We are genuinely honored to have received this award and are equally excited to share the news with you!

Thank you for being part of The Katy House community. Soon we'll be walking into our 29th Year of service, and it's because of our guests continued support that The Katy House is still serving guests to this day. We're just so humbled.
