Traditions

Every family has some sort of traditions when it comes to Christmas (or the entire month of December). A lot of these center around food. In my family, every Christmas Eve we prepare a special meal, usually something ethnic. Last year we decided to make different Asian dishes, including pot stickers & bulgogi (a delicious Korean beef dish).

For dinner on Christmas day, we bypass a more traditional ham or turkey, and head straight for the beef. It is a perfect day for a delicious steak, and by doing this I am able to get my husband to help out with dinner by taking charge of the grill.

What does your family do? Is there a special dish that always makes it to the table? I'd love to hear about it!!

Just around the corner

Christmas is only 16 days away! This year has just flown by, and it seems that every day since Thanksgiving is a blur. This month, I'm going to share different recipes and ideas to help make your Christmas even better.

Starting in January, I'm going to feature a new technique every month, followed by plenty of recipes to get you going. January will kick-off the new year with Tamales. There will be detailed pictures & instructions, as well as many recipes for different variations of tamales and other Mexican favorites.
