    When looking for traditional Christmas desserts for this month’s theme, this one immediately popped out with its beautiful christmas colors.

    #119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli

    I was trying to think of a really special recipe to end this year’s round of Nostalgic November dishes with, and after thinking back on the dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past, this ravioli dish came back to memory after reaching back to my childhood.
