Christmas Traditions with my Family!

by on ‎11-12-2014 12:01 PM

Can you believe the holidays are right around the corner? I, for one, am unreasonably excited! I love the scarves and boots I get to wear, shopping with my sweet girls and of course all of the tasty traditions that come along with the holiday season.  While I love all of these traditions I just mentioned, I have learned over the years that traditions can, and in some situations, should change!


When I was growing up, we always had lasagna for Christmas Eve dinner and by the time I was 16 years old, I took that tradition as my own and was the one to prepare it from then on out. Fast forward to Christmas Eve when I was pregnant with Delilah -- I forgot the tomato sauce and simply substituted tomato paste to go with the hamburger meat.

Needless to say, it was so dry, and so crispy and SO AWFUL! 


And here I was, so proud to serve it for my husband and our friends! I decided to chalk it up to pregnancy brain, but we ultimately decided that maybe it’d be best if we put that tradition to rest and let Harry take over.



Now we are treated to an amazing Beef Bourguignon and Yorkshire pudding that Harry prepares from our trusty and always faithful Julia Child cookbook. The kids and I love it so much that we have never looked back at my lasagna tradition of Christmas Past!


Christmas with the Family


I hope you all have a fantastic holiday season! Don't forget you can shop my Belle Gray by Lisa Rinna collection on QVC.com at any time and I'll be back on-air towards the end of January. I'm also excited to announce that I'll be joining the cast of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' and it will premier this Tuesday, the 18th, on Bravo.


Love,


Lisa
