When living at home - or maybe I should say, when living in Michigan and having holiday celebrations with my family, there were a few food traditions to look forward to every Christmas.
One tradition is my mom's "Michigan" salad made with dried cherries, mandarin oranges, romaine and a sweet/sour dressing. Christmas Eve was always prime rib cooked to perfection and usually some sort of potato dish. And, of course, the Christmas Lunch Chocolate Almond cake.
Now that I am here in Florida, with none of my family around, I keep some of the food traditions alive. Prime rib for dinner and the salad. I have also added a few of my own dishes. Potatoes with a gorgonzola cheese sauce to name one.
What are some of the holiday dishes you look forward to every year? What dishes have you carried away from your mother's table and now present on your own?
Merry Christmas everyone.
