Your Guide to a Slow, Cozy Sunday

How To "Slow Sunday"

Every week, I find myself dreaming of a slow Sunday. Being a mom, my weekends aren’t always relaxing, but if I had a Sunday all to myself, this is what it would look like: a second cup of coffee, something slowly cooking on the stove, and a little room for doing absolutely nothing.

Here’s your guide to a very cozy Sunday, with recipes from A Cozy Kitchen Cookbook. Make the whole menu or pick whatever sounds good.

Start with good coffee.

Spanish Latte with Sea Salt Maple Cold Foam

Make your morning coffee a little more special with sea salt maple cold foam. Pour it into your favorite glass and sip it slow in front of your sunniest window with the best view.

Make breakfast worth lingering over.

Almond Croissant Baked French Toast

A little Saturday prep pays off here. Assemble everything the night before, then bake it fresh in the morning. Put on a quiet playlist and let breakfast stretch into late morning. There’s no rush.

Give dinner the afternoon.

Slow Sunday Bolognese

The name pretty much decided its place on this menu. The process is quite simple and your most important ingredient here is time. Once your bolognese is simmering, grab your favorite novel and a blanket, curl up on the couch, and wait for the sauce to tell you it’s done.

Bake something for later.

Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies

A sweet treat at the end of the day is practically a ritual, especially when chocolate and espresso are involved. Tuck a few cookies away for Monday. Future you will be very pleased.

Set the mood: Turn on the lamps before dinner, serve your pasta in a big bowl for nestling in your lap, and bring the cookies to the couch. This is where I shamelessly binge Real Housewives or Sex and the City. But you pick your poison!
