Happy December, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful and family filled Thanksgiving holiday. I am officially in holiday mode now so I thought I’d kick off our December posts with a Christmas recipe!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of our readers a very happy 2019 Thanksgiving holiday! We are all so very grateful for each and every one of you and wish you nothing but love, happiness and a belly full of delicious food.

This post is half recipe and half story. I’m actually NOT tweaking this one at all because it really doesn’t need to be healthified. As with all good things, moderation is key, but the ingredients are just fine! My mom’s famous roast pork is also known as Pernil. It’s a holiday tradition in any Hispanic household and it is definitely a good one!

Who doesn’t love a good pot pie? Now that cooler weather has set it, these recipes are super handy to have around because they are warm, cozy, filling and easy to make ahead of time and save for a lazy evening. Unfortunately, they’re not known for being very healthy. That’s where I come in.
