182 Festive Holidays Ahead: Preparing, Adapting, Delighting

Kolbecast

AMDG. Last week, you heard from a few Kolbe-connected dads about their kitchen adventures. The theme continues this week as Kolbe instructor moms Laura Roselli Insall and Christina Davin join us to talk about cooking, upcoming holidays, and kids in the kitchen. The conversation covers vegetarian and food allergy accommodations, the utilitarian and joyful aspects of cooking, make-ahead meal strategies, and repeating traditions for holidays versus trying new things each year.

Links mentioned:

• The Little Christmas Angel by Peggy Barron
• Laura’s eggless sheet pan pancakes Laura usually cuts the sugar in half, uses regular milk with about a Tbsp of apple cider vinegar added instead of buttermilk and uses half coconut oil and half butter (or almond milk with vinegar added and all coconut oil if she’s making for someone who can't have dairy).
