January is the fourth anniversary of the Sunday Supper Movement and this month we are celebrating the first ever Sunday Supper Movement Month.

What is the Sunday Supper Movement?

Isabel Laessig, better known as Family Foodie, is the founder of the Sunday Supper Movement and the Food and Wine Conference. As a mother of four, Isabel was touched when her oldest left for college. When asked what she would miss most about home, she responded, “the time we spend in the kitchen and around our family table.” This response had such a profound effect on Isabel that it prompted her to start a blog, Family Foodie. Isabel saw first hand the benefits that shopping, planning, cooking, and spending time around the family table had on her family. She is passionate about sharing her mission with other families.

 This week’s roundup of #SundaySupper recipes has brought together 60 of the best food bloggers out there to celebrate the kick off of Sunday Supper Movement Month.

  10. This frosting is the most incredible ever! The flavor is perfect, not too much Kahlua and not too little! The texture is so silky and creamy. The perfect frosting to top off chocolate cupcakes. I made a 9″ single layer chocolate cake which I frosted with this frosting then sifted cocoa powder over the top. So pretty and made it an elegant presentation.

    Thanks for this recipe, I will make it again and again. ?
