Raspberry Cranberry Momosas for Mothers Day

BySam Adler

You're the reason mom drinks anyways so make her these 2 ingredient cranberry raspberry "Momosas"! #mothersday #mimosa #momosa #cocktails frostingandfettuccine.com

This post is dedicated to moms everywhere but specifically right now lets talk about mine.

HI MOM.

My mom is a fun mom. She’s basically like Regina George’s mom when she says “Im a cool mom” but like legit. No she doesn’t wear a pink velour Juicy jumpsuit and carry a Chihuahua with fake boobs- but she does send me hilarious totally inappropriate memes, surprise (and again inappropriate) gifts when I’m having a bad week or whenever she feels like it, and will get on a plane the next day if I need her- its happened. She also joyously will watch my kids for me for 2 weeks without hesitation, all the while making sure my house is the cleanest its ever been, and then go out and buy me (!!) a gift card to a mani pedi because she knows I will need it. I mean if thats not legit the best, I don’t know what is. She’s also known as Grandma in my house, because my kids still don’t understand that she is my mom.

Also lets talk about kids. I really never understood what my mom did for me or us until I had my own kids. Late nights, early mornings, the whining-oh the whining-, the patience needed, the sacrifices made, the worrying about everything under the sun.  And my kids are little still, so I’m only working with 6 years of material here.

Of course those things come along with incredible moments like the first time your baby smiles or laughs, the snuggles, the first “I love you Mommy”, the moments when you are so proud of your child you could burst. Thank Gd for those moments. If it weren’t for times like those, parenting would be WAY harder and alcohol sales would be through the roof.

I kid, I kid.

Or do I?

In honor of Mothers Day this year, for all the “mommy juice” drinkers, I bring you these Cranberry Raspberry “Momosas”.

Two ingredients, plus some fruit for garnish and pretty factor, and your mom will forget about all those stressful things you put her through- at least for the day.

If you’re planning on doing the whole classic breakfast in bed situation, then definitely check out these crispy strawberry waffles, add a cup of coffee and some flowers to a tray, and bring your mom a fantastic breakfast in bed.

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, these waffles are bursting with strawberry flavor and are a perfect way to treat mom on Mothers Day! #mothersday #breakfastinbed #strawberrywaffles #waffles frostingandfettuccine.com

Just make sure its not before 10 am and that the kitchen is clean when she comes out to thank you for her delicious breakfast.

As a bonus for you-and my mom might kill me for this- I’m just gonna give you a little glimpse into what I was like as a child (sorry mom) from this email I got from her when I started this blog.

From: Mother 
Subject: Your MotherMessage Body:
Dear Sam,I LOVE LOVE LOVE your website and blog! Such beauty, creativity and elegance, just like the author! However, I would like you to please be aware of a couple of things: be mindful of grammatical errors, and your mother being completely absent from your photo shoots.  
As a long time admirer of you and your work – I recall that in second grade you made me a ring holder I still have at my kitchen sink, a set of pickle tines I treasure from your class trip to Philipsburgh Manor, a butter knife with a purple grape handle you gave me, boxes of drawings, literature, poetry, class trips, lost teeth, clips of your first hair, your first pair of boots (yellow, with deer pictures on the side), your first leotard, your party dress, and a velvet dress you wore when you were 5, and many other memorabilia-  I am dismayed at your lack of Mama Love and Public Display of Motherly Devotion. THERE IS NOT ONE PICTURE OF ME ON YOUR WEBSITE and what’s even worse is that there is no MENTION of my dedication and sacrifice as the mother of a child who whimpered that kidnappers were going to steal her in the middle of the night, cries of NOT FAIR! when Justin received a tablespoon more orange juice than you in your sippy cup, whinings with no end about playdates, Oompah Loompah terrors, Wee Sing requests that led both you and I to see separate therapists over stuffed skunks singing Sally is Wearing a Red Dress one million times, wails if you did not know where a shred of blankie had disappeared, non-stop discussions over light up sneakers, and the week long anxiety sessions before your pediatric appointments when shots were scarier than Jason on Friday the 13th,
Just letting you know I love what you do and who you have become, and if I ever find blankie I will personally deliver it to your door, because that is what mothers do, despite the desperate pain of separation they experience, coupled with the stabbing in the heart from the disillusionment of children who believe they are too grown up to mention their successes all stem from their mothers.
I just don’t want to be dead before I can enjoy all the acknowledgement. See if you can do something,
Love you!
Mom

SO MOM-
Here I am publicly acknowledging that I wouldn’t be here, or the person that I am today without you.
And also please don’t kill me for publishing this, I will make you momosas next time you are here to make up for it, and I am also sorry about that time I drew red lipstick all over your expensive white jeans.

You're the reason mom drinks anyways so make her these 2 ingredient cranberry raspberry "Momosas"! #mothersday #mimosa #momosa #cocktails frostingandfettuccine.com

THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST.
Happy Mothers Day.

Prep Time: 2 minutes
Servings: 1 pitcher
Author: Sam Adler

Ingredients

  • 1 25.4 oz bottle of Raspberry Cranberry Spritzer from Trader Joes
  • 1 750 mL bottle of prosecco or champagne
  • Raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Mix equal parts spritzer and champagne in a glass or pitcher.
  • Add berries to garnish.
  • Serve to mom immediately, she deserves it!

Notes

Mimosas are generally 50% juice and 50% alcohol, so if you can't find the specific brand of trader joes spritzer that I mentioned you can definitely try the other flavors, or alternatively you can just buy cranberry juice and sub that in for the spritzer. Super easy, you can't go wrong!

I love when you share my recipes!!

    I cannot stop laughing!!!!!!! I am SO SO SO VERY PROUD of you, my magnificent child! You are beautiful, smart, talented and hilarious – a dynamic, unbeatable combination of gifts from G-d that are blended in such an extraordinary way making you the unique woman you are. I am not even drinking “momosas” – it’s just the plain truth.

    This is the best Mother’s Day present I have ever received since my first smile from you, my eldest. I couldn’t wait to have you. And once I did, I could not wait to have more like you. I am blessed.

    Happiest of Mother’s Days to you, to all us moms and all caregivers, child raisers, and all the villagers that put in their efforts to raise a child.

    I love you,

    Mom

Finding your style 📸 It’s probably the numbe Finding your style 📸

It’s probably the number one struggle I hear from food photographers. 

❌ Shoot after shoot, it doesn’t feel like your photos are consistent or that there is even a recognizable style there.

❌ You don’t feel as if anybody would see your photos and be like “hey! I know who’s that is!”

❌ You might even feel like your photos are pretty enough but that you learned or experimented with how to shoot in someone else’s style so you don’t really feel like it’s yours.

I GET IT 🙌🏻

✅I didnt know how to use my camera 5 years ago
✅I had no recognizable style
✅Once I thought I had a style, I stuck myself in a box and felt like I could never shoot differently

But after countless hours, investing time and money every day I now have the freedom to know that whatever I shoot will inevitably come out in my own style. 🎉 I shoot in ALLL the colors of the rainbow and it always comes out like me 🙋🏻‍♀️

And this is why in my signature program, The STYLE Mastermind, with it’s combination of coaching + education, I teach you how to find your own unique style, and not how to shoot in mine.

There is *literally* no point in shooting in a style that you don’t love because the whole point of running your own creative business is to do it because you love it.

And when you love your job and it shows through your work, that’s when the clients come in. 💰 💰 💰

Over the last 3 years my program has helped over 90 (!!) students find their unique consistent style, land their highest paid contracts ever, and LEAVE THEIR JOBS! No it doesnt happen overnight, but it does happen.

SO yeah you may be scared outta your mind to take that leap and join but trust me, it may just be the best thing you do for your mindset, creativity, your business, and your style.

PS. THE STYLE MASTERMIND IS NOW OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT! 🎉💵👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏻 We are only accepting 24 students for this round with 2 spots already taken. Tap the link in my bio to apply and level up your business!!

3 things I wish someone told me in the beginning o 3 things I wish someone told me in the beginning of my food photography career 📸:

1. Do not be afraid to use shadows! You NEED shadows in your work. They are what create dimension in a photo and what gives it the “pop of the screen” effect. Just because you like to shoot light and bright doesn’t give you an excuse not to use them either. Using shadows doesn’t = dark and moody. So please, if you feel like something is missing in your photos, maybe you need more shadows?

2. Mindset is EVERYTHING. You will have really good days and then really 💩 days too. Knowing how to navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is the everlasting key to your success in the food photography world. 

3. Learn about licensing and usage!!! Like get in with the nitty gritty of it. I cant tell you how much I have given away for less than what I deserve because I didn’t know enough about licensing and usage. 

All three of these things are V important to me in terms of how I run my own business and what I teach to my students.

It’s some of the main reasons why and how students have been so successful. Like 10k+ months, and leaving their 💩 jobs they hate, kind of successful.

Theres a couple more hours left to get on the waitlist for my signature program The STYLE Mastermind for an early bird incentive.

One thing I constantly tell my students is to get One thing I constantly tell my students is to get the hell out of their comfort zones- because nothing extraordinary ever comes from it.

Think about it- the things that have gotten you to where you are today, will not get you to where you want to go next. If they did, then you would already be there.

Constantly pushing yourself to the next level of your comfort will though.

Running a workshop in Tuscany and teaching in person was that for me, and it was one of the most magical weeks ever.

So grateful for all the people that traveled across the world to stay with people they never met for 5 days.

If that’s not pushing yourself, I don’t know what is!

If you’re thinking that you need help getting to the next level, then get on the waitlist for the next round of my signature program, The STYLE Mastermind. 

It’s designed to help you find your unique signature style (YES YOU HAVE ONE) and to get paid well in this industry.

✨Artichokes ✨ They were allll over Rome- at t ✨Artichokes ✨

They were allll over Rome- at the markets and next to the restaurants- all bundled up and beautiful that I couldn’t resist taking some shots.

For these I wanted to go with a light chiaroscuro effect- using the contrast between light and dark to highlight parts of an image.

I took these artichoke shots in two different areas and also edited them differently. The first to bring out more of the contrast between green and purple and the second focusing more on the green.

I cant decide which I like best- I added the raw images here too so you can see how powerful editing it, especially when you already have the finished image idea in your head!

Which do you like better?

In July 2019 while on vacation in Tuscany, I messa In July 2019 while on vacation in Tuscany, I messaged @healthylittlecravings with the idea of running a food photography workshop in Italy. I was hoping she didn’t think I was crazy 🤪, or maybe she was just as crazy as me- because she said YES. Almost 3 years later, after lots of frustration, zoom calls, planning, un-planning, and planning again, it’s finally happening!

I’m proud of us for not giving up, and grateful for the students that have invested their time and money in learning with us- whether they are coming this time or not. 

I won’t be posting anything on my feed bc it’s not where i want to be spending time this week, but I’ll be sharing on stories! And yes we plan on doing this again ❤️

Cupcakes. My least favorite thing to shoot- so nat Cupcakes. My least favorite thing to shoot- so naturally I have a BUNCH of cupcake recipes that I need to shoot over the next week or so. I find that when I find a food that I dont love shooting, I force myself to do it over and over until I am more comfortable with it. 

It happened once before with cookies, and now cookies and I are BFFAE.

So get ready Mr. Cupcake- meet your new best friend 🙋🏻‍♀️
