By now it's no surprise that we're huge fans of MOUTH , a rocking online indie food marketplace where you can get anything from an edible gold chocolate Jesus to a gourmet food subscription filled with artisanal goodies like pickles or c…
I'm evidently going through an artisanal chocolate phase--though considering it's been a decade or so, not sure if that's actually a phase or a way of life. Either way, I love visiting small towns or scouring the web for outstanding loca…
"Dear baby: on the day you were born, we ate ice cream with your name on it. It kind of stopped the shower when my water broke, but I finished the whole cup of mint chocolate chip, darn it. And it was delicious. Because it was named afte…
While we try to cook most of our meals at home--with the help of all of the awesome recipes curated on Cool Mom Picks by our resident foodie, Stacie Billis--sometimes dining out is a necessity. You get it. And now Chipotle's new Cultivat…

I dare anyone to tell me that Mother's Day chocolates are cliché, especially if you're giving the kinds of gourmet chocolate that a mom might not buy for herself every day. (With all due respect to the good folks of Hershey.) I will happ…
When you're feeling frazzled , winding down at the end of a busy day, the last thing you want to do is dig through the freezer to figure out what to fix everyone for dinner. Or worse, make a trip to the grocery with kids in tow. That's w…
So let's talk popcorn. Specifically, gourmet popcorn. More specifically, White Truffle Cheddar organic popcorn from Pop Karma . Or wait--you talk a minute, because my mouth is still full. A friend recently sent me some of this stuff from…
Lent is over, Easter is here, and while the kids are swimming in jelly beans and Peeps, we think it's only fair that the adults get a little indulgence of their own. And that's where the Chocolate Jesus comes in. This is no ordinary choc…

Cutesy food isn't my thing, but I'm a sucker for easy muffin tin recipes. Real kid- and grownup-friendly food portioned in just the right size is just too fun to resist, especially when the mini factor can make dinner more appealing to p…
As my family's Petronella Cottontail, I'm here to tell you that grown-ups like Easter treats, too. Gourmet Eater treats, ideall. My kids can keep the Peeps and cheap candy eggs nestled in plastic grass, while I stick with the fancy stuff…

It’s wrong how much I love Super Bowl food, from nachos to pulled pork sandwiches , wings to Corona cupcakes . (Yes, Corona cupcakes.) But Super Bowl dip recipes have to take it as my favorite game-time snacks. There’s nothing like a bol…
There's something about made-to-order food that doesn't feel right for the Super Bowl, especially with amazing Super Bowl recipes so easy to whip up. I'm not dissing you pizza delivery fans, but if you think that make-ahead Super Bowl re…
I have never been a huge biscotti fan. It's often dry, a bit devoid of flavor, and to be honest, tastes stale to me. And then I found biscotti from Bella's Home-Baked Goods and behold, for the Italian dessert angels did shine upon us all…
