Hello! In our home we have quite a few traditions and one of them is making Stracciatella soup for Christmas. Stracciatella (from Italian stracciato, meaning, "torn apart") is an Italian egg-drop soup. It is prepared by beating eggs and adding grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and then adding this mixture to boiling broth. It is not difficult to make and very tasty! Enjoy!

Hello - come on in!

I don't know about you, but I love to cook! However, that being said - I like to cook for A LOT of people. Cooking for two is not fun for me, I find it to be a waste of time and energy. I know my husband appreciates it when I cook nice meals for us, however, I really do not like spending all that time cooking and cleaning just for us, when I know we will not have the time to enjoy it properly with two young boys at the dinner table also!

This recipe that I am sharing today takes some time to prepare, but it is a great comfort meal and will definitely please any crowd! Enjoy!
