There is a place of lies and dreams, broken promises and shredded palates. That place is the cereal aisle. Seriously, have you read the boxes lately? Super-choco-sweeties have loads of Vitamin Q, but they’re made of sugar and air. And if you’re gluten...

Hola, Ola Granola!

by Cool Mom Team | Food + Recipes

The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood

Even though I’ve put on ten pounds just looking at all the Valentine’s Day treats that hand-crafted and artisan food marketplace Foodzie has to offer, I’m going to be an extra-good girl this week in the hopes that Cupid leaves me something...

Greek yogurt that’s made for kids, but will most likely be devoured by parents

I’m a huge fan of Greek yogurt, and apparently I’m not alone. It has a creamier texture and the perfect hint of tang, and it also happens to have a ton of calcium and protein making it a staple in my fridge for a healthy meal on the go. And who’s on...

Fruit on hand that makes it into their mouths

Susie’s Supper Club – I hope they’ll have me as a member

by Cool Mom Team | Food + Recipes

When I had a friend on major bedrest with her second child this past year, it turns out the gift of food (and our company) was the greatest help to her of all. So I simply love the services that are cropping up like Susie’s Supper Club, which delivers...
