Entertaining season is fast approaching and while food is always on top of mind I've noticed that over the past few years more people serving sparkling options. Cava, prosecco and sometimes champagne options have been popping up at dinner parties and get-togethers just as often as wine and … [Read more...]
Applesauce: An Encore Perfomance
Just about two years ago I wrote this: one of my very first posts for Urban Moms. It was a simple, yet delicious recipe for applesauce. In it, I explained that each year on the Sunday closest to my birthday, we went apple picking as a family and with our bounty, we made crumbles, cookies, and of … [Read more...]
Coffee and the Art of Cupping
Are you like me? Can't start the day off without enjoying a cup of coffee? I usually wake up to the aroma of a fresh brew as hubby gets up earlier than I do.

I Can’t Can
Our garden is overflowing right now. Which is cool, except I am anything but a pioneer. I have carved out the time to make homemade Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup and it's delicious but I have just been tossing it in my deep freeze as I make it because I, for the life of me, am afraid to try … [Read more...]
What’s for Breakfast? Making My Morning Rounds.
Okay, we're a couple weeks into school and I'm already exhausted! The extra-curriculars haven't even started yet except for the early morning cross-country practice at the school. I had vowed to be THAT MOM who makes the "breakfast of champions" each day. That was my "back-to-school" resolution as … [Read more...]
