I realize it is now a month past celebrating Christmas but I still wanted to take a moment and reflect on some of the food from the holidays. The holidays for me are always about spending time with family and friends with lots of love and laughter. For a lot of people food has also been a big part of the holidays and I haven’t been able to fully participate or appreciate that component until recently. I’ve heard it said that a lot of people show their love through food and I am starting to understand how that could be possible. So even though it is a month later I still want to take a moment to appreciate all the wonderful food I was able to enjoy with my family this holiday and say Thank You. I am so lucky!
Check it out! We had lots of fun Christmas cookies, pizelles, Mexican wedding cookies, and lemon hazelnut cookies. We cooked and prepared cardones, deviled eggs, cheddar cheese, manchego cheese, salami, prosciutto, pork roulette, salmon roulette, olives, shrimp cocktail and clams casino. Then for Christmas dinner we had Mom’s delicious home made lasagna and sauce!
