Mexican-Inspired Holiday Recipes and Tablescapes

Halloween season is over and now we’re all thinking ahead to the holiday season. What can we do to make this year just a little more special, and fill the month leading up to it with joy?

One way is to beautify your dinner table by adding a little bit of culture into the mix. Even better if you can reach back to habits and traditions of women in your ancestral lineage to liven up your holidays.

Christina’s great grandparents arrived from Oaxaca to San Francisco and were said to have opened up several Mexican restaurants in the area. Here’s some ways they would recommend you add a little bit of their homeland into your kitchen, place settings and tablescapes.
