This year my wife and I have decided to stay put for the holiday season. We have decided not to deal with either traveling out west to see my family or traveling to one of the several places that her family gathers to celebrate.
Since we both will be on vacation for a week, we are planning to cook dishes that would be too involved/complex to make at home on a regular night. Nothing fancy for lunch or breakfast, but we will pull out all the stops for dinner.
Our plan is to take the dogs hiking each morning have brunch then start prepping. Our meals will be chosen from recipes that we have not made before and I hope will be representative of different cuisines from around the world.
To keep it simple I may only focus on the main course and wine to accompany the meal. The added challenge will be my wife's allergy to cow dairy and the need to modify recipes to accommodate her. I will also use as many locally sourced ingredients as possible.
I am excited for the challenge and look forward to posting the recipes and keeping a journal of our adventures in the kitchen.
