Neil’s birthday is always ruined by an ice storm. A January baby is used to this sort of thing growing up in Missouri, so we are always very last-minute and flexible when it comes to his birthday plans. No matter how we celebrate, it’s for certain that mac & cheese will be served at some point during the week.

It’s apple season at Eckert’s and we are excited to partner with them to bring you a delicious and healthy recipe for the fall. Sweet and crunchy apples pair perfectly with roasted sweet potatoes, salty parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts. This salad can be served an appetizer, side, or main dish, and keeps in the fridge for days.

The Olympic Games begin this week! We visited Global Foods Market in Kirkwood to gather ingredients for a global charcuterie board. Since the games are being held in Paris this year, we thought it would be fitting to feature a savory French tart as the star of our global charcuterie board. Global Foods has an excellent selection of meats and cheeses from around the world, as well as a variety of appetizers to serve at your Olympic watch party.

Eckert’s dropped off some of the most beautiful, juicy blackberries we’ve ever had, and we used them to make a cool summertime treat, perfect for your Fourth of July celebration. Making ice cream at home is fun for the whole family, and we love that there are no artificial preservatives, dyes, or unnecessary ingredients in this treat. Simple, delicious ingredients, mixed with berries straight from the farm.
Tucked away on a street just off the main traffic from the Central West End lies one of our new favorite spots in St. Louis: Black Mountain Wine House. The block is known for The Gaslight Theater, home to the St. Louis Actors’ Studio that hosts live theater and comedy. A previous residency on the block includes John Perkins’ Juniper, which we reminisce about every time we drive on Boyle. But now, the 300 block of N. Boyle is home to a cozy wine bar, driven by a passion for excellent and unique food and wine.
Our family has found our new favorite pizza place in St. Louis. We’ve had friends begging us to go the last couple years, and for whatever reason, it just took us this long to hop over to The Hill and actually dine at Pizzeria da Gloria. It was so good, we went twice in a week.
