**This Contest is Now Closed (I know, I know, I said it would close Friday but I changed my mind based on the overwhelming response – I’ll announce a winner tomorrow morning!**
In honor of the fact that it is my Bosch-loving, baby sister’s birthday today (Happy Birthday, Emmers!)
and the fact that I am constantly waxing poetic about my love for my Bosch and manage to use it almost every day
and because I heart each and everyone of you and the support you give me
and because it is basically time to kickoff the marathon Holiday season
and because my husband always teases me that I would save my beloved Bosch first and foremost in a fire…
…well, in honor of all of that, I’m giving away a New Universal Plus Bosch Mixer to one of you!
Isn’t she a beaut? You won’t believe how your roll-making, bread-making, cookie-making world will spin out of control with this machine.
To enter, leave me a comment (only one per person, please!) telling me what your favorite holiday food is (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, President’s Day…whatever holiday floats your boat).
As for me, I’d have to go with this pomegranate cheesecake or these gingerbread blondies or these holiday morning buns or this amazing 2-hour turkey. Hmm, I guess I’m having a hard time narrowing it down. Can’t wait to hear your favorites!
A winner will be announced Friday morning at 6:00 a.m. Wednesday morning at 6:00 a.m.!
May the force of the Bosch be with you.
{Pssst: This contest isn’t sponsored by Bosch or any company that sells them. It’s simply because I don’t know where I would be without my Bosch and I want one of you to have one, too!}
Mine is definitely pumpkin pie – I can eat a 10″ pie by myself. And have, actually…
Jell-o salad. Really, it is my favorite!
my favorite holiday recipe is pumpkin rolls…………..moist, cream cheese, deliciousness mmmm !!!!
My absolute favorite would have to be my grandmas rolls with her homemade plum jelly and her cran/ras jello! Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
It wouldnt be Christmas without my mom’s Soft Ginger Crinkles…Sooo good!
I love pumpkin cheesecake! Oh, I wish I could win this, as I could never afford one:)
My favorite holiday food is chocolate cream pie!
it has to be the after thanksgiving leftovers for sure! especially the turkey casserole my mom makes. love it. oh, and my mom’s homemade stuffing. never had it from a box, and i never will because of her.
My favorite thing is a cranberry cake with warm butter sauce topping at Christmas! YUM!!!
I’m torn – I’d normally say Eggnog, but since I’m pregnant this year, I’m craving pumpkin pie. : )
Grammy’s rolls! No holiday or special occasion is complete without them. And yes, a new Bosch would make them so much easier!
I would have to go with pretzel salad at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It always tastes better during the holidays. I absolutely love your blog, by the way. Thanks for keeping me supplied with so many yummy recipes.
Though Christmas is by far my favorite holiday, I’m looking forward to all the Thanksgiving food and anything pumpkin!!! My husband and I went on our honeymoon last year over Thanksgiving so we missed out on the turkey, mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing, etc. etc. can’t wait!
My favorite holiday treat are these delicious, and I mean delicious and festive chocolate candy cane cookies. Yum! Thanks for all your recipes. You have seriously added so many fantastic foods to our family!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, so my favorite holiday food is Ham, corn, rolls, pumpkin roll (or hubby’s pumpkin cheesecake), mashed potatoes.
But on a side note I love pomegranate so I will have to try the pomegranate cheesecake.
At both Thanksgiving and Christmas, I make apple-cranberry pie with crumble topping. We have affectionately named it “crapple pie.” mmmm
Fudge and homemade turtles–I love chocolate but these are reserved for Thanksgiving and Christmas ONLY because they’re sooo yummy that I can’t stop at just one or two!
I love Thanksgiving so I would have to say my mom’s homemade stuffing.
Wow! You are awesome. What a great give away. My favorite holiday food is stuffing made in the bird and fudge, can’t get enough of either of them.
Mine is definitely homemade noodles. I have had them on Thanksgiving and Christmas since I was a baby.
Pumpkin butterscotch cookies. My mom’s recipe. They are to die for!! The flavors and smells of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and ginger….ahhh!
My favorite holiday food is pecan pie! Yum yum yum.
What an awesome give-a-way Mel. I seem to love all holiday food; maybe the sweet potato casserole and pecan pie the best though.
I am going to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread this week!
How sweet are you for this giveaway! I’ve been saving for a Bosch; with my SAHM’s salary I’ve got, say, 20 years or so more until I have enough!
I love the entire Thanksgiving meal. If I had to choose one element it would be my granny’s cheese ball recipe. It’s really nothing special, but the memories it brings back make it all the more delicious.
Every Thanksgiving my mother would make a strawberry pretzel salad to take to my grandparents. It’s not really a holiday food, but I have so many fond memories of it paired with my grandmother’s Thanksgiving feast, it just goes hand and hand for me now!
I love homeade stuffing. Unfortunately, I don’t like to make it, just eat it!
My sister’s pumpkin rolls with cream cheese frosting filling…. yummmmmmmm…. they are to die for. The only problem is that I can’t stop until there are no more.
How to choose a favorite!? The first thing that popped into my head was our beloved sweet potato casserole so I guess it wins (second thing to pop into my head was your delicious gingerbread blondies)!
Stuffing and mashed potatoes & gravy!
So simple, but my family looks forward to them every Christmas – pizzelle cookies.
Easy. It’s my Mom’s sweet potato casserole! It tastes like candy. I have sweet dreams about it:)
Definitely Christmas food: caramels, toffee, orange rolls, shortbread. I love it all. And homemade, of course!
Pecan pie is one of my holiday favorites, or any pie for that matter.
The dark meat from the turkey, the stuffing and the gravy!
Flaky, buttery, biscuits!!!
anything with PUMPKIN in it! Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bars, pumpkin chiffon pie, pumpkin bread….. Love it! Would love a Bosch – my KitchenAid has seen better days!
My mother-in-law’s Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing. Love it!
Hmmm, that is so hard to narrow down one food! I love to try new desserts for the holidays. Last year was a chocolate pecan pie, before that apple danish cheesecake, etc. So I would say all the sweets are my fav’s!
It’s a toss up between pumpkin cheesecake and eggnog punch….YUM!
My favorite is apple pie.
I love making and eating Peanut Butter Balls at Christmastime. I’ve done some venturing into different types of truffle-like treats at that time of year, but this is still hands-down my very favorite.
It has to be my mother’s stuffing. I’ve seen her make it plenty of times but I cannot seem to duplicate it at home.
Brussels sprouts.
I love this apple cake we make with a caramel sauce. It’s pretty divine and has about a pound of butter in it. Then you top it with whipped cream. It doesn’t get much better. Good thing we only make it once a year.
I LOVE leftover turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches…yum, yum, yum!
Turkey and dressing definitely!! Give me the drumstick! Oh and don’t forget the homemade rolls…love your recipe.
I absolutely love anything pumpkin, as well as everything that come with thanksgiving dinner! My mom makes incredible stuffing and my dad’s mashed potatoes! Thanks for the giveaway!
Sour cream Sugar Cookies (my grandma makes them every christmas!)
I have to say my favorite for thanksgiving is my grandma’s stuffing. We usually have to make a double batch so we can have leftovers. My next would be the fourth of July and just the whole bbq food. Sit outside and eat and visit with great frineds.
Pumpkin cheesecake, and Mama Wilson’s stuffing. Oh, how we have missed her stuffing since she passed away a few years ago.
So hard to choose…I love the whole thanksgiving dinner. But I do especially love some candied sweet potatoes with the browned marshmallows on top!
My favorite for sure is homemade rolls. I love to be able to clean my plate with it:) A close second would be jello pretzel salad that is kind of a side dish, but kind of a dessert. My whole family loves it. Thanks for the chance to win. I love your blog.
My favorite would have to be either the baklava (made with almonds and lemons rather than walnuts and cloves) or caramels that my family makes for the holidays each year. Is it Thanksgiving yet?
My favorite holiday food would have to be the two casseroles my Mom makes every Christmas morning.We, the kids that is, open our stockings then dig into breakfast before returning to open more presents! She makes an Egg Strata with onions and mushrooms and cheese, and also a delicious hash brown casserole topped with buttery corn flakes. My Gramma always stops by Krispy Kreme and picks up some hot glazed donuts to accompany the casseroles. Usually I would fall over thinking about eating all this rich food but Christmas breakfast is actually our big meal of the day and we keep it simple for the rest of the day=)
Oh how hard to pick just one! I guess it would be our Christmas morning breakfast roll. We also give them away at Christmas and one of our friend’s sons renamed it Paradise! It is sooooo very yummy!
Yam’s mashed like potato’s with a good helping of butter and brown sugar (no marshmellow’s PLEASE).
My Grandma’s cheesy broccoli dish. Good all year round!
I will have to go with the turkey,mashed potatoes and gravy at Thanksgiving. Technichally they are three items but not the way I eat them.
I have to go with Thanksgiving … the pumpkin pie, the fresh cranberry sauce … and mostly the friends and family who help eat all the yummy food!
Thanks for doing this!
“One of my favorites” is ham, double baked potatoes and orange rolls! Yummy
My favorite is our cherry cream pie that we have at Thanksgiving!!
Hands down, sweet potato souffle. Never mind the butter and sugar ratio to actual sweet potato…it is delicious.
Currently, it is Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. Every year our youth team spends a week blowing out sprinklers to raise funds for youth ministry and I make them cinnamon rolls. This year, I used your buttermilk cinnamon roll recipe and adapted it a little. Everyone loved them! Does that count for a holiday?
Would HAVE to be pumpkin cheesecake. I could eat it all day long, every day!!! Yummyyyyyyy!!!!!
Oreo Truffles for Christmas – yum!!
It would be stuffing with turkey gravy. Mmmmm.
I’m partial to the peppermint molasses cookies at Christmas time but our traditional Christmas Eve dessert from my childhood is peppermint ice cream in an Oreo pie crust with homemade chocolate sauce. It’s delicious.
Oooh, I want one of these so bad.
I love making food for Halloween. My favorite is making cheesy potato soup or creamy chicken tortilla soup and serving it in bread bowls that look like pumpkins.
Fall food is the best!
My birthday of course – ‘cuz my fabulous-cook-of-a-husband makes me whatever I choose! YUM!
Oh man, where do I even start? Apple pie..Christmas cookies…but if I had to choose just one I’d go with CINNAMON ROLLS. I LOVE your vanilla pudding cinnamon roll recipe. They’re divine!
My absolute favorite dish is Thanksgiving turkey stuffing!
Gingerbread cookies for Christmas.
I LOVE making my moms poppy seed bread every year at Christmas!! So yummy!
Wow! That is a tough one. I love almost all holiday foods! I really love turkey, mashed potatoes, cheese ball and I loved your pomegrante cheese cake. I think I ate most of it myself last year.
I would have to say Mashed potatoes and gravy. YUM!
Pumpkin Spice bars with cream cheese frosting. So good!!! Really though, I like all things pumpkin!
Ok, I am a Holiday addict and in love with Bosch so this is the place for me. It’s so hard to pick just one, but here are my favorites at the top of the list-sour cream lemon pie, Grandma’s featherlight rolls that I FINALLY mastered, sweet potatoes and yams(preferably with a bite of turkey and stuffing, oh the love), and chocolate haystacks at Christmas YUM!!!!
My favorite holiday food is pumpkin pie.
I love having our breakfast casserole on Christmas morning. I also love my Bosch. It is over 30 years old and on it’s last leg but I keep babying it along. I have a kitchen aid but can’t give up my Bosch!
mmm… probably stuffing, or anything with lots of carbs
. So nice of you to do a giveaway of your own.
I am going to have to go with good ol’ classic pumpkin pie.
My own pan of strawberry pretzel salad.
Hmmm… I think all of the leftovers after Thanksgiving. There are too many yummy things to choose just one.
My grandma’s “Night Before Christmas Soup”. It is DE-LIGHT-FUL!
My great-grandma’s dinner rolls!
I love about anything with pumpkin. Sweet or Savory. Heaven!
Wow! That’s a tough question to answer because I LOVE FOOD! I’ll narrow it down to my any of my sis-in-law’s pies! The coconut cream is my fav!
My absolute favorite holiday dish is apple pie on Thanksgiving! Even if I’m stuffed I always get a slice
Homemade baked carmel corn at Chirstmas Time.
Frog Eye Salad!!!
I would love a new mixer…my mother-in-law loves her bosch and has taught me to make bread in it.
There are so many good ones! But the one with the most memories attached would have to be warm cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole. I adore your cinnamon roll recipe with the vanilla pudding. It always turns out.
I love appetizers at Christmas parties. Is that weird?
Oh wow this would be amazing! I have a lot of favorites, but I’d have to say my MOST favorite treat during the holida is hot chocolate…of ANY kind. There’s just nothing like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold morning, afternoon, or evening. We like to dunk toast or cookies in it as well!
My favorite holiday food is anything Thanksgiving! I love the turkey, stuffing, pie, mashed potatoes, green been casserole…I love it all : )!
Cinnamon Rolls fo sure! And pumpkin bread and Pumpkin Pie. And homemade Orange bowknots! Mmmmm
My favorite for any of the Holidays would just be sugar cookies. . . . Soft sugar cookies, cut out into a variety of cute shapes and decorated with cream cheese frosting . They are great because you can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. mmmmm
I love everything that is Thanksgiving… Another favorite is Eggnog French Toast that we have on Christmas morning. It is made with croissants instead of regular bread, eggnog, eggs, nutmeg and top it with vanilla yogurt and fruit syrup. It’s soooo not good for you, hence the once a year, but it is so good!
I love stuffing. It can’t be mushy though. yum.
Oh man, my sad little Sunbeam stand mixer isn’t going to last much longer, I could really use this! My favorite thing to make and eat is pumpkin roll! Yum.
