And you don’t spend your childhood working in an authentic soul food hot spot without learning a thing or two. Born with a generational love of food, I grew up bussing tables and hanging around the kitchen of my grandmother’s soul food restaurant. There's Eggs, omelettes, french toast, and other breakfast ideas. Brunch and Sip, food isn’t just our business, it’s our life. Italian food makes up most of the recipe list but there is something for everyone.

After we’ve all finished tearing into gifts, we settle down for, like many holidays, the most enjoyable element: a meal. For a season that can be filled with lots of activities and to-do lists, Christmas morning is often a much more relaxed time during a high-energy holiday. The joy of the occasion is amplified by the presence of family or close friends, and initial chaos of presents notwithstanding, the day is usually accompanied by an innate sense of serene calm. Christmas morning is always a special time in my house.
