FROM THE KITCHEN OF SUZIE HART, SWEET HART INN
Blog Post, May 14: The view is all good from here.
Summer is almost here! The front lawn is shaping up beautifully after our unusually cold winter. I’ve been busy planting everything from perennials to petunias. I love to see the color popping out everywhere! So much to do to keep things in shape and it’s not only landscaping and gardening. Let’s see....
We’ve finished the kitchen (more on that soon!) and cooking classes are back. Catering is picking up, too. We’re doing BBQ tomorrow at the American Legion Hall in Harbor Falls—remember that North Carolina style, vinegar-based sauce recipe I shared a few weeks ago? Yes, that one. I’ll be trying it out on the guys. Last week, I hosted Sara Fischer’s wedding reception, cake and all. In two weeks, I’ll take part in the Donuts & Dads breakfast event over at Harbor Falls Elementary. Yes, the donuts will be homemade, and I’m enlisting the help of my cousin Sydney Hart, who owns Sugar High Bakery, to make this happen. We are expecting lots of dads.
And later on this week? What we’ve all been waiting for—the Taste of Harbor Falls Festival. I’ll be sharing lots of info about that in my next post. Plus, you can check out the Chamber of Commerce website for all the details.
But today, I am most excited about my cookbook. I’ve been in contact with an agent and I’m literally on pins and needles. Me?! Suzie Hart. A cookbook author. Ohmygoodness! I have to say that all of my blog readers have helped with that. The agent was impressed with my subscribers. Thank you!
Sweet Hart Inn has officially been open six months now and I can’t be more pleased with how business is taking off. Last week all the rooms were full and this weekend I’m expecting a mystery guest who has booked a room indefinitely. Wow! I wonder what that is all about?
So yes, life is good. I’m recovering from that rough patch I had last year, before I made lemonade out of lemons and chased my dreams. Sweet Hart Inn is mine and I’m not looking back.
Remember—the sweet tea is always cold, blueberry muffins are on the buffet, and the porch is perfect for sitting. The Blue Ridge Mountains are calling. Come escape for a while! Whether you choose a front porch rocker or an Adirondack chair looking out over the lake—the view is all good from here.
Until next time,
Suzie

Welcome to Sweet Hart Inn…
Where the kitchen is always warm and love is always on the menu.
Nestled on the peaceful edge of Falls Lake in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Sweet Hart Inn is more than a cozy bed and breakfast—it’s a place where hearts heal, friendships form, and romance is served with a side of sass.
At the center of it all is Suzie Hart, a chef-turned-innkeeper whose recipes have a way of bringing people together (and finding their way into her books) —and sometimes, sparking unexpected love. Along with her (soon-to-be, maybe?) husband Brad, Suzie welcomes a delightful cast of characters through the inn’s front doors, such as runaway brides, brooding bachelors, holiday guests, disgruntled daters, and more.
Whether you’re looking for a heartwarming holiday escape, a second-chance romance, or a cozy story filled with culinary charm, the Sweet Hart Inn series delivers all the feel-good vibes you crave.
Bon Appetit! And enjoy.
