Let Them Eat Pork- Christmas in Chicago!

I just returned home yesterday from our Christmas festivities in Chicago!

Adam and I drove from Virginia to Chicago, then spent a couple of days downtown. There is nothing like Christmas in Chicago- the lights, the decorations, and the hustle and bustle of Michigan Avenue! The only thing that could have been a little bit better, was just some snow!

We went to Christmas Eve services downtown and then to Adam's aunt and uncle's newly renovated condo,  only a couple of blocks from the Lake. We had an absolutely delicious dinner and it was great to catch up with all of the family!

It was there, where the 'Let Them Eat Pork' came about. This is a cookbook that Adam's cousin and sisters worked on, a collection of the family's best recipes and photos. It is SUCH a great cookbook and  provided us with lots of entertainment. Hopefully Volume Two will come out soon... All of Adam's family members are great cooks and we definitely had lots of delicious foods, including greasy taco night!

Adam's grandpa was heavily involved with the Chicago Mercantile and the pork industry, hence the name 'Let Them Eat Pork'.

Thanks Girls- we love the cookbook!
