Home for the holidays (+ video)

Merry Christmas! It’s wonderful to be back home warm and safe with my family and friends. I’m practically going into a food coma thinking about the holiday meals I’ve been eating..


Christmas Eve brunch at Paul’s:Β Thomas Keller’s mushroom quiche by Paul


Homemade rosemary and clove infused vodka by Ara


The Christmas Eve brunch group photo!


Taurin’s grandparents have an amazing Christmas tree full of vintage ornaments and lights


I think it took at least two hours to open up all the presents. The kids were so excited.


Christmas Eve dinner: perfectly roasted pork, veggies, and mashed potatoes + gravy


Taurin’s aunt is a chef based in southern France, and she baked just about everything on the dessert table


My chocoflan: tres leches flan + dark chocolate cake covered in caramel


Santa says hello!


The Christmas dinner at my family’s house: Momofuku pork belly ssam with all the fixings, steamed king crab legs, soba noodle salad, and matcha ice cream mochi


Pork belly lettuce wrap with aΒ dollopΒ of homemade peanut ssamjiang

P.S. I’m participating in Craft it Forward!

    Wow all that food looks incredible! It looks like you’re all a family of chefs! & rosemary clove infused vodka sure sounds intersting- hadn’t heard of that before. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog & leaving a comment, it seriously made my night that you love the hand embroidered tops & saw me from a giveaway & stopped in. Glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas with family. Have a safe & happy New Year : )
