Beside the lovely antipasti…

Check out the big braciola!

It’s not good braciola if it doesn’t have raisins in it! I’m begging my mom to share the recipe with Daily Eats readers because it’s truly the best braciola you’ve ever had!

We all eat until we needed a big nap!

Of course the refrigerator was stuffed with food to the point of bursting open! When my mom cooks she cooks for the entire neighborhood. Bless she’s truly the best Italian cook I know.

How delicious was your holiday dinner?

May sugar plums dance in your head.
