The holidays are my favorite time of year! Christmas was always one of the biggest celebrations in Sweden, and I look forward to the festivities each year.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite American traditions. I quickly picked it up when I moved to the U.S. from Sweden.

Most cultures traditionally link food and spirituality directly with periodic restrictions and celebrations punctuating the year. Abstinence from particular foods or full-on fasting is part of many religious traditions and holidays.

Cooking turkey every year doesn't have to be monotonous - I want people to always mix it up using different spices and preparations.

It is a tradition during the Christmas and New Year holidays and we found it necessary because of the inner feelings of our people,

When I get the chance to make my favorite breakfast on the weekend, I often choose to make pancakes.
