Cinder House, located on the 8th floor of Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, is a magical place for a date night! The Four Seasons is dressed in its holiday best, with festive lights and decorations around every corner. They have a pop-up holiday shop with local gifts that is open Saturday and Sunday (Yes! Even on Christmas Day!) from 9:30am-7:00pm.
You might call these Italian Wedding Cookies, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Mexican Wedding Cookies, or Russian Tea Cakes, but no matter the name, they are a beautiful addition to any holiday cookie plate. Unless your name is Neil, and you’re the other half of the Newlywed Chefs. Neil isn’t a fan of shortbread-like cookies, so he just doesn’t like these. I (Whitney) think they’re great. Buttery, nutty, and although they’re messy to eat, they’re just pretty. The recipe is super easy and to make them eeeeven better, dunk ’em in chocolate! Our toddler loved helping roll out the crescents.

Last weekend, we traveled to Innsbrook, Missouri, where we stayed in the Treetop Getaway Chalet, hosted by Sarah Bernard Vacation Rentals. It was an ideal fall escape away from the hustle and bustle of our city routines. We love that her properties in Innsbrook are only about an hour from St. Louis. It’s a manageable drive for a young family with a three-year-old and infant in tow, yet far enough away to make it feel like you’re really out of town.
We’ve never received more requests for a recipe than for this one. As many did, Neil fine tuned his bread making skills during the pandemic, and has kept them rolling making some sort of a pizza almost every week. His Detroit-style pizza just can’t be beat. He uses the recipe from King Arthur, and these pans recommended by them have also taken it to the next level.

This year, like last, has proved to be more challenging than expected. I think that’s why we’re all craving down time with family even more than usual. We returned this year to Innsbrook to stay in one of Sarah Bernard’s stunning chalets, and this time, wanted to share our experience with you. Sarah’s Innsbrook properties are a short 45 minute drive from St. Louis. Although the drive is short, it’s so secluded and tucked in the woods that you really feel like you’re far from home and the big city. The short drive was ideal for our toddler. We didn’t even have to bust out the coloring books on this ride! (Unlike the multitude of entertainment options for the way down to Florida!)

Oh, October! That glorious month where sports fans ramp up here in St. Louis. Our very own St. Louis Cardinals had an exciting end to their season, winning 17 games in a row during their regular season, a franchise record! They lost the NL Wild Card game, but we’ll get em next time. Meanwhile, the NFL and college football are both in full swing, and the St. Louis Blues are just getting started! If sports aren’t your thing, at least you now have more excuses to eat game day food.
