What I Share
Cooking tutorials for key holiday foods. Fun for both you and I.
Legends behind each holiday, just like how your grandma would recite it– “once upon a time” style.
Personal anecdotes that are less personal but universal for the ethnic American experience. Let’s laugh, cry, and binge along.

- Learn from a detailed synopsis of each holiday
- Relatability, regardless of your background
