Our extended yearly Holiday Jaunt.
Hysteric, Chaotic or just Happy times?!?
Here’s a little glimpse into my blissful craziness.
Our model puppy, ‘Sushi’ keeps things real and into perspective for us.
Strangely enough, it’s in big part because of him...
that we appreciate the important essence of life.
Sparkles and colors started nudging me...
into the Holiday spirit at the start of November!
Are we finally content that gift shopping is finally over?
I don't know about any of you...but I'm pooped!
A jingle bell tune...
a little begging...
and a bribing treat gets you...
a hesitant pose at the very least ;o)
Just a few days before the family...
has the run of the household...
a festive ' tête a tête ' with Mommy was enjoyed.
Are we done with that camera yet???
Are we finally in the...
Christmas Holiday spirit anyone?
Last healthy...non-traditional Holiday meal...
just a few days before the Italian festive meal arrives.
just a few days before the Italian festive meal arrives.
To my family, friends, and endearing loyal foodie supporters...
I wish to send you warm blessings and the very best wishes going forward.
My dearest Hubby and I will be taking a...
mini-break for the next week or so.
mini-break for the next week or so.
We definitely look forward to enjoying your company once more in the new year ahead.
Big hug and flavourful wishes,
Foodessa

Merry Christmas, Claudia! What a festive atmosphere you have created for your family. Sushi is soo adorable - we also have a pup who brought so much love to our home! I'm away with my family, visiting my mother who's been ill, so taking a bit of a break myself. Enjoy your time!

What a sparkly and festive post! Yes, I am glad that Christmas shopping is over...now it's time for all of us to sit back, eat, enjoy time together and laugh.
Have a Merry Christmas Claudia! I can't wait to see more of your beautiful recipes and posts in the New Year.
I hope you had a happy holiday.
We're away this Christmas and couldn't get to our computer. We now had a chance for a visit with you and your pooch. Can we adopt him? Love what you did for your festive page. Too bad I didn't see it before, sigh.
Claudia, have yourself and your spouse a great break that's surely needed:D
Your friend Frank
Such gorgeous decoration! Love your doggie so much. Wishing you & your family a very Merry Christmas. Hope you're all having a terrific time & have fun. God bless you all.

Such beautiful holiday pictures, Claudia! Your puppy is absolutely adorable. I hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas.
Sushi is adorable beyond words!
Thanks for sharing your Christmas with us Claudia - I must admit this year the spirit (force?) was not really with me but yes, your enthusiasm is infectious and I'm now looking forward to the New Year - hopefully where Christmas came and went with a whimper, for me, the New Year will arrive with a bang....
The Happiest New Year, dear, sweet friend :)
Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday. Happy New Year!
Haha...I love your doggie...just too cute! Happy Holidays! What lovely Christmas atmosphere there!
I have seen this post 3 times and every time,it puts a smile on my face. I love it!
Sushi is simply adorable, how do you keep him so still every time?
Claudia I've enjoyed that special moment prior to the turbulance of the holiday events.
Maybe we can start a mammita daughter tradition what do you say?
Seeing these pics and joyful decorations will allow me to remenisce and revive these beautiful memories.
you are truly an inspiration and we are very proud of you.
Love Mammita & Papito xox
I have a baby sister and her name is Penny! She is a little white Maltise and mom and dad have her (of course). She is out family ball of therapy and I love her SO much! When I saw your puppy, I was weak-kneed! What a sweetie! The collages you put together, Nisrine, are absolutely sensational. What a fantastic celebration at your house. Such fun!!!!
I was too busy with my family to get to my reading - please accept my apologies. I am just catching up... and what a pleasure to find such joy in your home today!

Claudia, what a charmer your puppy can be :) I always wanted to add a puppy to our family and still carry it on my wishlist! Maybe when the kids are a little older?
I also wish you and you family the very best the New year can offer.
