When my son married his wife, she was the first to admit that she didn’t really know how to cook.
Boy, have things changed!
She has turned into a gourmet chef! We teased her about wanting only kitchen related items for Christmas, but then we ate a few of her meals.
OMG!!! A lasagna to die for…chicken pot pie that’s the definition of comfort food…cinnamon rolls to fall in love with…desserts to dream about…she makes most everything from scratch now and loves it. I find that unimaginable since I hate to cook so much, but I can understand the passion for a hobby very well.
We cannot stay around her cooking for very many days…it’s truly like eating at a gourmet restaurant every day. Maybe you have a lot of self-control and can eat just two bites of something delicious, but I do not!!! Wow!
Hospitality and gourmet eating, family and fun…the love of Christmas…OH and presents, too! What a great Christmas day.
And we get to do it again next week when the other half of the family is back in town. But it won’t be gourmet meals unless I can get my daughter to do the cooking. How cool is it to hate to cook and to be surrounded by girls who love to cook! Wonderful for me!!!!
I can only hope that your Christmas day was as wonderful as mine. I have such an amazing family!
What a lovely post! My formula for such situations is that I gain a pound a day-ah, but who’s counting?

When eating like this, it’s a total feast for the senses. Cannot imagine counting calories during such a feast!!!!!
