.Letโs go!
๐ #1 Ikeaโs Mega Meatball
Imagine a turkey-sized meatball. Yep, that right. Ikea is making holding a contest (UK only) for a limited-edition giant meatball. Iโd be down for a huge meatball for Christmas. Check it out here

Ever wondered why McDonaldโs fries taste so unique? Former McDonaldโs Chef Mike Haracz spills the beans: they add beef flavoring in the oil. Want to recreate at home? Grab some Walmart brand fries and mix in a couple of tablespoons of beef tallow with your vegetable oil.
๐ #3 Stewing Debate
Stews are the king of meals โ fight me! Iโm definitely getting an Instant-Pot for Christmas to make this coq-au-vin. Dive into this delicious recipe and join the stew side!
๐ #4 Feast of Seven Fishes
Growing up next to Italians, I was jealous over their Christmas Eve seafood feasts. Learn all about this tantalizing tradition: Feast of the Seven Fishes
๐ #5 Not-Cheap, Cioppino
Speaking of fish. I cooked up a not-so-cheap but totally worth-it cioppino for my father-in-lawโs birthday. Pro tip: Cut costs without cutting flavor by shopping at Costco for fish, shrimp, and crab meat.
๐ #6 Retro Japanese Cookbook
I love this vintage 1960s Japanese cookbook illustration on making donuts. Why donโt we have more cookbooks like this?
Thatโs it for this week. Whatโd you think? Hit reply to share your own food finds โ I'd love to include them here!
