Leo loves his dreidel!
No matter what holiday you celebrate December 1 starts a craving inside everyone for traditional holiday food! When I came back from Alabama I was pretty lucky that Justin had saved me some of his mom’s latkes (latkes- are potato pancakes for all my blog readers who do not know) They are delish and I really enjoyed them and they are all gone now which is a bummer because tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. (now I don’t want to go off on a tangent but look what I found as I was writing the way that I spell Hanukkah… hmm who knew?)

- Anyways I am going to be honest with y’all… I have never made a latka in my life and I don’t think my mom has either so… I wait for the parties when I can eat them… I know sad but maybe I will eventually start peeling some potatoes and making some.
- Here is my other problem what kind of food do you serve on Hanukkah? ( It’s 8 days and I have yet to make anything to celebrate the holiday)
