Ms. Vee always keeps the Beazley House running smoothly.
I would like to talk about Veronica Loftus. …“Miss Vee,” we call her. She started at the Beazley House when she was in Napa High school. She’s been here ever since, now 18 years later! She has worked her way up to my assistant manager & chef. The Beazley House always runs smoothly when Veronica is on. She has reworked some of the recipes and here is one of my favorites I’d like to share:
Pineapple Fruit Medley Coffee Cake
IN LARGE BOWL COMBINE:
2 Tablespoons Canola oil
1 Cup Sugar
3 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple

1 Teaspoon baking powder
