Holidays are usually filled with family and food. Each family has different traditions that create many memories over the years. One of my favorite holiday traditions is enjoys my sisters’ homemade dinner roles that originate from Grandma’s recipe. They have become a side dish tradition I absolutely love. Whatever traditions you enjoy, make sure you are serving food safely.
