Favorite holiday recipes.... Well the holidays are right around the corner and I was wondering what all your favorite recipes are, what is the dish that you make every holiday for your friends and family? I am hosting Thanksgiving for the first time at my new home this year and obviously need some really tasty dishes and desserts. I love making new things and am hoping I can get some really great ideas from you all! Happy Cooking! I will start.. Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars 1 package pound cake mix 3 eggs 2 Tablespoons butter/margarine, melted 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1-14oz. can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk 1-16 oz. can pumpkin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped walnuts In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1 egg, butter, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, mix until crumbly. Press onto bottom of 15X10 jelly roll pan, set aside. In a large bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Slowly beat in condensed milk, 2 eggs, pumpkin, 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice and salt. Mix well. Pour over crust; sprinkle nuts on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars and refrigerate. Enjoy!!;) |
that sounds good, I will be interested to see all the recipets that are listed. |
I have no idea what to do for the holidays. I have been eating an antiinflammatory diet to get rid of joint pain. I have been pain free for 3 months and have dropped 25#. I am having to develop new recipes and it is so time consuming!! Holidays will never be the same for me...food-wise but at least i feel great :rolleyes: |
Are you looking for more dessert dishes or side dishes? I have a wonderful sweet potato casserole that was passed on to me by a dear friend down south that is to die for and I keep getting asked to make that every year. Or my infamous cheese cake made with Philly Cream cheese and sour cream. Your pick. |
Thank goodness I just ate dinner or this thread would make want to eat everything;) |

Sweet Potato Casserole Bake potatoes first - I like to wrap them in foil and bake them like you would a white potato for about an hour or so. After they cool a bit the skin is easy to peel off and they are soft and ready to mush!) Ingredients 1 stick butter (soft) 1 T. of vanilla (use real please and not the imitation) 3 cups swet potatoes (I buy 4-5 large sweet potatoes) 1/2 cup sugar or Splenda 2 beaten eggs or egg substitute 1/4 cups evaporated milk Topping 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 stick hard/cold butter 1/2 cup flour 1 cup chopped pecans Mix potatoes, sugar, vanilla, evap. milk, eggs and butter. Pour in buttered casserole dish. In a separate bowl combine brown sugar, flour, butter and mix well with fork to make crumbs. Add pecans to the mix. Sprinkle on top of potato mixture and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees (bubbly). Enjoy - I could just eat a bowl of the topping alone - it's yummy. |

YUMM! I love pumpkin anything and cream cheese to boot! YIPEE! I'll try this. thanks |
I have a couple great recipes for the holidays - several I submitted for the cookbook - I was hoping we would have that soon. I have a Cranberry & Wild Rice Stuffing recipe - that is great as a side dish & extremely festive looking - especially for Christmas, but I get a lot of requests for it at Thanksgiving. Would you like that recipe?? What other type of things are you looking for? |
