We had the best time over the past month, partnering with Amazon Free Time to throw a couple of fun press and blogger holiday cocktail parties in Philly and Atlanta. Our aim was to give parents a little more me time (Get it? Free Time fo…
From the day that Mouth.com launched we were like...whoa! If we had come up with a Cool Mom Eats retail site it would be just that -- wonderfully curated gourmet food gifts and subscriptions, all from the best artisanal indie makers from…

Let's be honest, when you're a parent, pretty much every day is National Coffee Day. But because we have a heart for silly food-related holidays , we're all for celebrating. So here are just a few of our favorite fun gifts for coffee lov…
As I sat online with Kristen, trying to figure out just what we will send our girls by way of care packages when they attend sleepaway camp together this summer (sniff) we got wind of the most awesome idea: Treat House creates delicious …
While I am totally enamoured of Stacie's picks for Father's Day gourmet gifts for the foodie dad on Cool Mom Eats (consider if you can handle clicking over on an empty stomach) there's one more I wish had made the list: Our friends at Ma…
Today, as we run on fumes, excitement, and lots of extra-dark roast espresso , we are so happy to introduce the launch of Cool Mom Eats , our all new food channel. You have all been so responsive when it comes to our growing roster of fo…
My favorite part of any holiday is the food, and Mother's Day is no exception. What I want most this year is to sit around the table with family eating and laughing. One of my new favorite ways to make everybody happy, including me, the …
It's May (eep!) and the school year is almost over. Even though my kids' teachers deserve my thanks every day, I especially want to make them feel loved on Teacher Appreciation Day which is May 5, by the way. I always say that the best g…
Mother's Day is coming up and this hungry mama can't think of a better way to mark the occasion than with fantastic edible Mother's Day gift ideas . I've rounded up 8 amazingly tasty finds from some of our favorite gourmet and artisanal …
This is a sponsored message from Lindt. Mother’s Day is around the corner and it's a perfect opportunity to give quality chocolate to a great mom. A perfect bite of chocolate can be a moment when everything else disappears , and for a bi…
Evidently moms as custom superheroes are the hot new thing this week. First we found genius custom superhero action figures , and now it's custom supermom cookies out just in time for Mother's Day. From NYC favorite shop Eleni's -- where…
As soon as spring hits, I immediately try to switch food gears by ditching all that stick-to-your-ribs winter fare in favor of super light meals instead. It’s a good impulse, but sudden changes like these rarely last more than a week for…
Even though I love wine, I find the experience of selecting wine a little overwhelming. I never remember what I love most, can’t seem to buy the same bottle twice (unless, of course, it’s a wine I didn’t enjoy), and always feel like I’m …
There aren’t many vegetables that I don’t like, but asparagus is among my least favorite. When my kids bellyache about the green stalks (and, yes, how their pee will smell afterwards), I get it. I pretend like I enjoy asparagus more than…
Reducing meat is one of the hardest shifts I’ve ever made in my family’s eating. Even though I’d been a vegetarian through college, I had no idea at the time how to go meatless healthfully. (My youthful diet of pizza, pasta, and more piz…
As busy as we are with our kids and all the activities we're running to every week night, like most parents, we really do our best to feed them healthy foods. That usually means eating together before hockey practice, or packing some sor…
I love hosting holiday brunches for family and friends, but cooking holiday brunches is not so high on my list. I’d much rather ease into my day sipping a latte or, now that it’s spring , one of these amazing iced coffee drinks , than sl…
It used to be that Passover desserts were only good for, well, Passover. No leavening and no flour meant no fun. And it’s even trickier if you keep kosher. Times have changed, though, and while I’m not sure why seder sweets look so much …
I've been wanting to check out Blue Apron for a while now, especially after seeing so many friends, whose foodie sensibilities I trust implicitly, give this subscription food delivery service a thumbs up. If you're not familiar with Blue…
We’re coming out of a long ( long ) winter and before we start talking about fresh spring recipes with asparagus and peas, leeks and carrots, I want to take a moment to talk about chocolate. So I’ve rounded up 8 of the most outrageously …
There are a lot of crazy food holidays (I’m looking at you, National Marzipan Day), but some seem totally reasonable to me. And by reasonable, I mean I’m happy to have an excuse to celebrate. Case in point: World Nutella Day . I will nev…
With so many iconic Easter candies to buy, Easter brunch recipe to make , and fancy Easter cakes to bake, it’s easy to forget how simple it can be to make DIY Easter treats. So I've put together a few that I love. These special sweets ar…
I will not get into the ingredient list on Lucky Charms cereal because, well. Yeah. But, hey, no judgments. I'm not one of those no-sugar-ever-moms. And once in a while, for a special occasion like, say, St. Patrick's Day, I can totally …
