I have written many times on this blog that my family loves seafood. We all can eat marinated crab claws like candy! With my kids, parents, friends and even my former husband and his spouse here for the holidays, we will be consuming quite a bit of shellfish, bivalves and other delicacies. I’m so happy to have my gifts purchased, wrapping done and donations made so that I can enjoy everyone, and I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas too.
With that, I also have a giveaway from Carapelli today!
Made solely from the first cold pressing of the finest 100% Italian olives, Carapelli Premium 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil goes with everything. Its deep, velvety green color and intense, robust flavor and aroma make it unmistakably Italian.
