I played host to another one of our Momma Get Together’s recently and I thought I’d share my go-to recipe for some of the best apple cider out there! This recipe is so easy, hello? you make it in a crockpot, and it’s perfect for a group gathering on a chilly day. It always gets rave reviews and recipe requests although I’m a little embarrassed to say that it isn’t really much of a recipe…there are only 3 ingredients!
On a side note, can I just say I love, love, love my Momma Get Together group time! If you are a momma to any number of children you really need to do this! Gather a group of your friends who have children together once every couple of weeks or once a month and make it a point to enjoy each other. You can do this without kids or with kids–playdate style–but if you do get together with kids you need to make sure you aren’t helicoptering around your children so you can enjoy the grown-ups a bit too! I think it is so important for us momma’s to have a support system of friends who are in the trenches with you, I mean this job is tough! I truly think my friends are the best ones out there, we share the good, the bad, and the ugly and we keep it real. I know sometimes it’s hard to find good people out there especially other mother’s that have similar values as you but it is possible. Think of momma’s from your children’s classes, from church, or even someone you met at the park! What a great New Year’s resolution…make it a point to be friendly with other momma’s and maybe start your own small group of awesome, it’s totally worth it in my opinion!

This ground nutmeg is seriously the secret ingredient to this recipe. I swear that just a dash or two of this stuff makes the apple cider outstanding! There is just something about a hint of nutmeg I tell you.

XOXO,
Great idea! I’ve seen people add orange and cloves also. Have you tried it?
Getting together regularly with a small group of mamas has been key for me. Another great blog entry! Keep it up!
Oooh delicious! Now I have to try adding that dash of nutmeg. Thanx for sharing, cuz I love cider.

Try next time adding some RED HOTS! I know it sounds crazy, but it is SO GOOD!
Also, I wish I could do Mommy time with friends, but we all live on opposite sides of the city and it’s so hard to get together.
I love your blog and your tutorials are amazing! Thanks for sharing your talents!

Hi Maggie, I am a big believer in my get together with other moms. I also think sharing experiences with each other can help you get through those often difficult times of parenting. Anyway, that Crockpot apple cider is really a great recipe. It’s on my hit list for next week. Thanks for sharing! Love Grace
This sounds so good right now, it’s rainy and cold. I can’t wait to make this!
