DCT Mom thoughts
The holidays are a scary time for recipes. The stakes are high, especially if you're hosting the big holiday meal. As you grow up sometimes the anticipation becomes more about the meal than the toys, so expectations are high and everyone has their favorites. It's a good thing the holiday kitchen is a perfect place for family and friends to work together to make things just right. I've found when we work together, even when things don't go exactly according to plan, the time together is what makes the memory last forever. This season with Me: The Recipe-themed shows that we are made up of many different parts, including our environment, experiences, and our relationships.
