I'm a single mother of a 16 year-old daughter. Shrimp and pasta, chicken parmesan, homemade bread, fresh homemade pizza, carne guisada None, we are a very small non-traditional family. I cook for Christmas and make a different meal every year. I wonder if my daughter will wish she had a memory of a food tradition. Christmas dinner this year was a wonderful beef filet, homemade bread, spinach salad. Great meal... I accidentally put cinnamon in a big pot of chili instead of cumin. I had to throw it away. I hated throwing all of that food away. It wasn't palateable.
