While every day is Mother’s Day in our book, we still like to show a little extra attention to our #1 Moms on this special occasion. And what better way to start her day than with a delicious breakfast in bed! The only caveat? You just have to wake up before she does!

Tomorrow is everyone’s fave day to rejoice in all that’s traditional south of the border. And, there’s no better way to celebrate Mexican-American heritage than with yummy tacos! So, let’s get fiesta ready with a seriously tricked-out version sure to wow everyone at your Cinco de Mayo fest!

Nothing says “Christmas” like gathering around the kitchen table to roll out, bake up & decorate homemade cookies! That’s why we’re sharing Food Republic’s formerly-top-secret, easy-to-make, cut-out cookie recipe. These sweet little bites of heaven are the perfect treat to have on hand for when company – or Santa himself! – stops by for a visit (not to mention a wonderful holiday activity that kids of all ages can enjoy)… 

At Food Republic, we love spending a beautiful Fall day at the local orchard – watching the changing of the leaves, hiking, and of course, apple picking! Autumn is the season for apples, so go out and pick your own then make, what else? Good old American apple pie! 

Whether you’re staying in at home or hitting the town for a night to remember, there’s no better way to ring in 2012 than with a spectacular bottle of bubbly! But unless you’re a professional sommelier, understanding the difference between a cru and a cuvee champagne can be tough, confusing and not to mention, very expensive. If there’s one rule we want you to keep in mind this year, it’s that not all bottles are created equal, so before you hit up the holiday party circuit, check out Food Republic’s Champagne Guide below and become an instant expert.
