Every year since before I was born, my family gets together and spends the day making Christmas candies. Aunts, uncles, cousins; everyone all gathers around my grandma’s island to make all sorts of delicious treats to share together throughout Christmas and gift to friends and neighbors. At the end of the day, the kitchen is bursting with goodies and we all load up our plates and baggies with a bit of everything to take home. 

Inspired by my favorite dish at The Olive Garden, this easy Zuppa Toscana soup is so delicious; it’s an easy family dinner you’re going to have on repeat all fall and winter!
