Every year my husband and I try something new for Christmas, this year we are foregoing the traditional ham or turkey and going for some steaks on the grill! But Blake and Gwen have some interesting Holiday plans as well…..

Here’s what Gwen has to say….

“Me and Blake will have, like, a tradition of always trying something new that we’ve never—like, just look on the internet and find, like, a recipe, ‘That looks delicious. Let’s try that!’ You know?”

Last year, they made a Timpano Dome, it’s an Italian dish of pasta, cheese, meatballs and sausage wrapped in a butter crust, for their family gathering. And according to Gwen, it’s going to be a hard dish to beat.

Here is what it looks like…..

“I wanted to do it again,” she told E News. “But he’s like, ‘No, our tradition is not a tradition.’ I was like, ‘Okay, let’s move on.'”
