The Brenham HouseWelcome to our home. The Brenham House was built in the 1920’s on the foundation of what was the first German Lutheran Church of Brenham. Unfortunately, the church was destroyed during the great storm of the 1900’s, leaving the sturdy lime stone steps behind – steps that continue to greet visitors today. |

About Me
James and I are both native Texans with many careers between us, all adding to our knowledge and necessary skills for operating an bed and breakfast. All of our careers have been in the service industry, so this has been a comfortable transition for us. We enjoy traveling to different bnbs and we hope that our guest enjoy their experiences here with us. We want to pamper our guests during their stay and help them step back from their hectic lives for a moment to breathe. Brenham, Tx. is a wonderful small town. There is evidence of the past throughout the town. Many old hitching posts still line the streets and buildings with historical architecture can also be seen. Evidence of a time when life was much simpler and less complicated. We are the Happy Innkeepers of The Brenham House Bed and Breakfast, and we are waiting to welcome you to our home!

Wednesday, September 30, 2009French Coconut Pie
 This is the coconut we we serve at The Brenham House! Patricia loves Coconut Pie so I told her I would post it....It is very simple. 4 T. melted butter 2 eggs, beaten 3/4 c. sugar 1 T. flour 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. milk or 1/2 and 1/2 1 1/4 c. coconut Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except the coconut, in a large bowl. No need for a mixer. In a prepared unbaked pie shell spread your coconut evenly, and pour in the mixture! That simple.... bake for 45-60 minutes until set. I use a convection oven for even baking and it usually takes about 38-40 minutes. Enjoy and think of us at The Brenham House! __________________________________________________________________________________ Labels: afternoon refreshments, recipe for coconut pie, The Brenham House, The Brenham House Bed and Breakfast
