Nostalgia
#2 might be your new go-to for Christmas morning.
It was so decadent and rich; it just blew my mind!
And for the next 20 years, thats how I enjoyed it [without alcohol].
And now for these holidays, I replace the rum with myvery own rye whiskey.
Biscuits and gravy topped with a crispy fried egg is one of everyones top choices.
The one that rings true is cranberry ginger ale.
Each and every dish should just scream comfort.
They are so creamy and packed with rich umami flavors.
We have to order an extra side of it every time because its the first thing that goes.
But when we fixed our error, we were all pleasantly surprised.
(He essentially just re-fries rice from the night before, but makes it crispy!
)He actually made a video on itlast year.
They were central to our familys entire holiday season.
My grandmother Helen was always on latke duty.
Helen knew I had a special affinity for the crispy bits and would collect them as she fried.
Each of her latke deliveries came with a bonus package of crispy bits, just for me.
Champurrado
For me, the holidays mean the start of the champurrado season.
Champurrado tastes like a thick, spiced hot chocolate, with just a little earthiness from the masa harina.
It satisfies a sweet tooth but also feels almost like a meal.
Its typically made fresh, but weve packaged upa mixand given it a Swiss Miss-style treatment in single-serving packets.
If youre tempted to add those mini marshmallows, I wouldnt stop you.
