If you’re a mom, drop a few of these tasty hints to your family and enjoy your Sunday off! See below for some dining inspiration and get more Champagne pairing tips.

Tip: If you’re looking for some wonderful Champagnes, check out my friends at Fat Cork. They’re the importers of over 70 exclusive Grower Champagnes in the United States! That means bubbles that you won’t find anywhere else unless you go to Europe. How cool is that?!
