In the past few years, our family has ‘modernized’ our Christmas feast. The whole turkey, potatoes and pie menu seems tired following on the coattails of Thanksgiving, so we try to make it more fun. This year we’re doing grilled pizzas (I realize this is a blessing that comes with living on the Southern West Coast) and I’m experimenting with a few different treats. Serving individual desserts feels personal, as though I am passing on an edible gift to the loved ones at my table.
