Cookies, Chocolate and Carbonara, Hard to Choose Just One

What’s your favorite recipe?

I have a few actually. My favorites always bring up memories. I love to cook, but, rarely actually follow a recipe, so the ones I follow are important.

Christmas cookies are traditional. I only make them once a year so I need the recipe card. I make the best sugar cookies ever and it wouldn’t be Christmas without Auntie Eva’s thimble cookies. We search every year for the perfect jelly to fill them.

There’s a chocolate bread pudding recipe that I love. It’s all butter and good chocolate and brioche and Baileys. I have a special dish to make it in even.

My sons and I make an amazing carbonara. It’s a team effort and the ultimate comfort food.

The thing about a good recipe, in our family, is that it becomes apart of us. Made enough times, we have a tradition!

I love tradition! I love all the years of memories. Making spaghetti carbonara with my boys at the end of a busy week. Relaxing around the table. Eating something delicious. There’s no better way to remember good times then with a special recipe. Rolling out cookies with little ones, teaching my oldest grand daughter how to arrange the brioche and chocolate, for me, it doesn’t get better than this.
