Welcome to the new Tribeca Yummy Mummy, Yummies! Please take a look around at the new features, especially the recipe search function (woo hoo!). We’re still trying to get the ingredient search up to date, but today you can search by dish type, by season, and by allergen.

Are you and your mini-chefs gluten-intolerant vegans who want some delicious ideas for what is in season right now? Search away. Are you looking for a soup that is soy free? A dessert that is dairy-free? Yep, it’s all there.

In addition to the new look here on the blog, I’ve been creating a new back-to-school wardrobe for Mira and Liev and would like to share Mira’s fabulous new Chic Cocktail Swing Coat. The pattern is by a company called Heidi and Finn. You can visit their etsy shop here. They have so many cute things for girls (of course), but they don’t leave the little boys out! Check out the Little Military Shirt and the Unisex Hoodie pattern. They would look so cute on a little guy.

All of their patterns are super cute, and I cannot wait to try out some of the others. One word of caution… if you are a beginning sewer, you might want to wait until you have a bit of experience under your belt before you dive into the swing coat pattern. Things like having to manually machine-sew a button hole might be daunting. (Why didn’t I ask my mom to show me how to do this before?) And, it runs very large. My very long, lanky daughter is a bit swamped in the 5/6. For the most part, though, it was a cinch. Mira LOVES this little piece of outerwear and cannot wait to wear it with a cozy sweater tucked underneath when she heads off to kindergarten in a couple of weeks.

How are you getting ready for Fall?
