Christmas Day

    One of the most special days of the year

    I like to call this special occasion menu The Casa De Collins because like us, it’s a little bit rustic, it’s simple, a bit extravagant, and full of love. For us, it’s Brett and Chrissy on a table, and that is what Feast and Merriment is all about.

    Basil Parmesan Sauce

    Sauces are so important to any dish from the humble lunch sandwich to the most gourmet of meals. Often overlooked by home cooks because they can be intimidating, sauce is vital and what pulls a meal together. Like shoes to an outfit- it serves an important functional role as well as pulling everything together. Sauce should never, ever be overlooked.
