These gems are incredibly special to me. The recipe comes from my best friend Di Ana Pisarri’s Mom, Lulu. She made what she called “Swedish Kisses” every year for Christmas. When Lulu passed away a few years ago it became Di Ana’s tradition to head to my house to make them with me for her brother Ozzie. Di Ana passed away on June 18th, 2021 so this year I’m solo in my Christmas cookie making. It’s not nearly as fun but I know she’d want me to make a batch for Ozzie nonetheless. Baking should come from the heart and these certainly will. 💖

Whether you’re the host or a guest in a home or restaurant, these are traditions to make your Thanksgiving full of gratitude.

From nothing to an abundance, my garden is a daily reminder of the passage of time: life (in Spring/Summer) and death (in Fall/Winter).

Life is special. Take care of yourself and celebrate you! I am.
