The “You-Don’t-Want-To-Miss-This” Giveaway
**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!}
stuffing!
When my wife and I first got married almost 10 years ago, she started making cinnamon rolls for me to take to the guys at the fire dept every Thanksgiving morning. Now the favorite cinnamon roll recipe is the vanilla pudding cinnamon rolls…mmm-can’t wait!!
My mother-in-laws italian stuffing. It’s the best!!! I can’t wait for Thanksgiving.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE fried brussel sprouts with bacon and garlic! We eat it at Thanksgiving, and it is sooo good. Another new favorite to the family feast repetoire is PW’s mushrooms….Oh, and my MIL makes yummy rolls!
I would have to say my mom’s buckeyes! A peanut butter truffle surrounded by decadent melted chocolate is just awesome!
I really love Thanksgiving…mmm pumpkin chiffon pie!
I love all summer Holiday (4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor day) Bring on the grilling and cool, creamy desserts…yummm!!!
I have to say that I love any Summer Holiday (4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day)with the outdoor grilling, and cool, creamy desserts!!
My very favorite holiday dish is hands down pumpkin pie (although I’ll take just about anything pumpkin). I’d love to win this!! Thanks!
Sweet Potato Trifle with Ginger Cream – just thinking of it makes me think I hear angel wings gently wafting over the kitchen! I can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
Lion house rolls…right out of the oven.
I have a weakness for all things Thanksgiving, but my favorite is banana cream pie and stuffing. oh, the stuffing.
My favorite would have to be anything pumpkin. YUM!
My favorite would be a knock off recipe of the fernwood sandwich mint. And I eat A LOT of them at Christmas time. What can I say, I love chocolate and mint.
I love coconut cream pie at Thanksgiving!
Fudge. Specifically my fudge. I can’t eat a lot of it (pants need to fit!). But wowsers is it hard to stay away.
My most favorite holiday memory is of cut-out cookies. My Mom would make the cookies and all 6 of us (siblings) would decorate the cookies. My brothers would heap on the decorations and my sisters and myself would delicately decorate. haha It was so much fun! To this day, I just love those cookies!
Pie pie and more pie. Especially pumpkin and mincemeat and carmel apple. mmmmmmmmm. Thanks for hosting a giveaway!!! Great blog:)
My favorite is my Grandma’s Cranberry Refrigerator Cake that we have every Thanksgiving! She got the recipe from a newspaper in the 1950’s in San Diego and it’s a family favorite! I can’t get enough of it!!
I love left-over turkey sandwiches on white bread with Miracle Whip. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving just for the leftovers. I also love the sweet potatoes with the brown sugar/pecan topping.
Chocolate Pecan Pie!
I don’t think it’s one particular thing. I come from, and married into a family of amazing cooks. As long as I am surrounded by family, ANYTHING is my favorite!
Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday simply because it is all about food (and giving thanks by eating food). It’s the combination of a full plate of everything…moist turkey, cornbread stuffing, creamy whipped sweet potatoes , tart cranberry sauce, hot rolls with melty butter and pie, pie, pie and more pie. It’s the day I proudly wear comfy, elastic pants and eat without shame whether I am hungry or not.
One of our favorites is Hashbrown Quiche — a must for Christmas Morning! — yum!!
this is a tough one because we have so many yummies! I’d have to say if I have to pick one, that it would be our Louisiana Shrimp boil that we do every new years eve. we dump it all down the covered table, and pour a special finger lickin’ sauce in piles in front of each person. Its a real fun way to eat on new years, and no dishes! 🙂
Oh, and I would absolutely LOVE the bosch. I have so many great bread recipes that would work well in it and save me some time with 7 kids!
What a fun idea! Although I don’t comment often, I love y0ur blog and use your recipes often. They are so yummy, easy, affordable and kid friendly! This is my favorite food blog, so thank you for making cooking fun for me b/c it really isn’t a love of mine…I just do it b/c I like to eat good food 🙂
So, I guess I’d have to say that Halloween food is my favorite because when else can you eat Deadman Meatloaf with slimy spaghetti snakes and a few eyeballs for dessert??
My mom makes cinnamon rolls (and a version with cream cheese and raspberry jam) in celebration of fall. And, let me tell you, I eat a TON of them because they are so wonderful!
Pecan Pie. Yum!
Definitely sugar cookies…it can be for any holiday…I am not picky 🙂
My favorite holiday food is definitely my mom’s dressing/stuffing. It’s sooooooo tasty! Of course, there must be a billion calories in it, but hey, that’s why we only eat it maybe twice per year!
Good ol’ fashion turkey with potatoes and gravy!! Yummy!!
Just one more reason I love your blog! I would say that my fav. holiday food would be my grandma’s Thanksgiving cranberry sauce. Oh, it makes me want some so bad right now!

Oh, Thanksgiving isn’t Thanksgiving without Lion House Rolls! And I’m totally asking for a Bosch for Christmas, so this would be awesome to win! Thanks for the Giveaway! You Rule!
My Grandma’s Cranberry Salad.
Oh, my! I love to eat ALL the time, but you’re right, holiday food is even better! Although I love my 82-year-old Grandpa’s special occasion beef jerky, I have to go with the cheesecake. That’s right, THE cheesecake. My sister-in-law has to make it over the course of a couple of days. Her mother wouldn’t even give her the secret family recipe until she’d been married for five whole years!
Sweet potato casserole for thanksgiving:)
I think one of my Favorites would be Pumpkin Rolls they are so Yummy and I just love them and we mostly get them between Halloween and Christmas.
I would definately have to say my mom’s pumpkin bars… the perfect treat on Thanksgiving or Christmas!

I love this time of the year because I start baking lots of yummy pumpkin stuff. One of my favorites is pumpkin bars.

Definitely Pumpkin Pie. It has been my favorite ever since I was little.
Christmas morning = Christmas Casserole…yum, yum! Oh, and ANYTHING with potatoes 🙂
Rolls for sure! Followed by pie and Christmas candy.
My mother makes a humongous cherry danish for Christmas morning. It’s only slightly better than the preservative-laden one you buy at the store, but it’s the only holiday food tradition that I can think of.
Awesome giveaway! Thanksgiving food is my favorite. Nothing quite beats the combination of stuffing and turkey, but my absolute favorite is the dinner rolls. Lion house recipe.
I love so much of it, but if I have to pick one favorite it think it would be my Grandmas Cream Cheese Pie, MMMMM.

I love homemade potato soup and bread bowls on Halloween 🙂
Stuffing with Gravy! Oh Yummy! It is nice cause I can get a double dose between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
My favorite is my Aunt Kim’s Famous English Toffee Recipe. She passed away from Cancer recently, when her youngest was 6 and she was known for her English Toffee, people would pay her to make it for them. Fortunately, she taught her 14 year old daughter and 16 year old son how to make it so they now have taken over her legacy and make it for my Aunt Kim’s Clients. I may not have my Aunt Kim, but I still get to enjoy her famous English Toffee and every bite brings sweet memories of cherished holiday, family fun. 🙂
For Thanksgiving, banana cream pie and stuffing, (but not together!) and Grandma’s clam chowder on Christmas night.
My favorite holiday food is orange glazed ham with carrots. Mmm mmm good!
The only thing that I absolutely have to have or it’s not the holidays is pumpkin roll cake with a swirl of cream cheese frosting.
My mom’s chocolate silk pie that she made for Thanksgiving during my childhood. She stopped for a while and I’m hounding her to find the recipe so she can make it this year!

Mmmmm… where to start? Pumpkin bread, homemade cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole and my mom’s baked potato soup all make the top of my list! 🙂
Definitely Ginger Butter Cake – An old family recipe. Yum!!
Risa Alla Monde! Yummy rice, almonds, and raspberries!

My family always does prime rib for Christmas Eve, with all sorts of delicious side dishes and cheesecake with raspberry sauce for dessert. Wonderful!
Christmas tamale.
My grandfather’s dressing that was passed down to my Aunt – who makes it for us now! There is nothing better!
My favorite holiday food is turkey gravy. Does that count as food? I don’t even care about the turkey, just give me a roll and some gravy to dip it in!!
I’d have to say fried turkey probably! We deep fry ours in some New Orlean’s seasoning and it is delicious! I also have a soft spot for mashed potatoes!
I Love my moms homemade cinnamon rolls. We look forward to them every year.
OH. . . .it would be yummy turkey and dressing. . . or sweet potatoes. . . or chocolate pie. . . or delicious chocolate fudge with LOTS of pecans or. . . buttermilk fruit salad. . . . . the list goes on!
Definatley my mom’s pumpkin rolls! It has always been (well as long as I remember) her Christmas “bring to all the neighbors around the holiday” treat. So, now that I am beginning my own family and traditions it has been one that I have kept onto- since they are stinkin’ delice!
This is my first post on your blog- but I use it ALL the time for my meals! You save me….I actually have had a little anxiety about my internet not working and not being able to get to your recipes- you should make a cook book!
Anything pumpkin.
I LOVE scones with honey butter around Halloween. So delish!
Turkey with all the fixings.
My favorite is Toasted Pecan Pie. It was actually an accident. I thought I was baking my favorite Pecan Pie recipe to take to Thanksgiving only to find out the oven was on broil. I was so embarassed but it ended up being the best one I ever made. Now I always make them toasted.
My Mothers Prime Rib for Christmas Day or New Years Day!d
My dad used to own a cinnamon roll shop & his recipe quickly became my favorite. Each Christmas my family makes these amazing rolls to share with our neighbors & friends. It is my favorite holiday treat!
So hard to choose….I’d have to say my favorite holiday food would be the homemade pumpkin and apple pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas. YUM!
Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie. You’ll never eat regular pumpkin pie again!
Please help me send my Kitchenaid packing, it just isn’t cutting it! My mom would be so thankful if I never stole her Bosch again.
Can’t I just tell you which of my children is my favorite? It might be easier. My mom’s sweet potatoes (better than pumpkin pie!), your gingerbread blondies, mom’s prime rib….
Pumpkin anything of course!!! I Love pumpkin bars and for what ever reason cinnamon rolls are a favorite for fall time at our house.
Definitely my Grandma’s pan-fried stuffing. SO delish! I look forward to making (and eating!) it every year.
Butterscotch Sticky Buns, fresh from the oven!! Yum-o!!
I grew up in Australia where we didn’t ever eat anything pumpkin ie pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies etc. When I moved here 7+ years ago I fell in love with the fall flavors of pumpkin especially pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. YUMMOO!!
Favorite holiday food would have to cinnamon rolls. Nothing like waking up to that warm goodness on a holiday morning.
I would have to say I am pretty boring, because my favorite is pumpkin pie. YUM!!! I am so glad it is fall.
I love Thankgiving Day….And because we eat around One. I get up early and make sticky buns or cinnamon rolls and that get us through until the big meal. It is a tradition in our family. Thanks for all the great recipes.
My favorite Thanksgiving recipe is sweet potato casserole with coconut, brown sugar crumble on top. Oh so yummy!

Mashed potatoes with giblet gravy!!!!!
well….i really hate to be boring and generic but i gotta admit my all time holiday fave is good ol’ pumpkin pie 🙂 i always make one extra just for me to eat straight out of the pie plate…no neeed to dirty a plate when i can eat it standing in front of the fridge after everyone else has gone to bed…lol!
I love my moms homemade cornbread dressing. Its to die for!
I have to go with the sweet stuff, toffee bars at Christmas.
My favorite Holiday food is definatly the Thanksgiving turkey, but more then the actually turkey on turkey day I LOVE the LeFToVeR Turkey Sandwiches!!
Turkey is definitely the best holiday meal. I’d eat it for any holiday!
How to narrow it down….
Ok let’s go with Pumpkin bars for Thanksgiving!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Taters n gravy!
English toffee 😀
My favorite holiday food is by far the dipped chocolates that people make and give to their neighbors and friends at Christmas time. I desperately want to be a candy maker but realize that it is much better for all involved if I do not know how to make them – otherwise we would have them way more often than we should.
Stuffing or dressing as we call it. It seems we only make it once or twice a year and it would be so easy to make more often.
It would have to be the pumpkin pie. Or anything pumpkin really. Pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread…
OH MY GOODNESS!! I can’t believe you are giving away a Bosch. Oh please, oh please– getting one would be like all my Christmases come at once. 🙂 But back to reality: I would have to say homemade rolls (even though you can have those all the time, they remind me of the holidays!) or pumpkin bread.
I LOVE our holiday toffee that we make with chocolate and cashews…only comes once a year and we make so much of it during the month of december!!!
Turkey and dressing or fudge. Can’t decide. I am leaning toward fudge.
I have never been a sweet potatoes fan until I tried a magical recipe from my aunt. Now I make them every year for Thanksgiving. They are so sweet and delicious, I skip the pie at the end of the meal and go for second and third helpings of the sweet potatoes.
I love sweet potatoes. I’m a sucker for the gooey marshmallows on top! Yummy!
I would use this all the time! Making salsa, choppping up vegetables, cheese. Such a nice thing to have.
Stuffing…… I would be okay if that was ALL that was on the menu!
Homemade stuffing is by far my favorite holiday dish!
Cornbread stuffing or crustless pumpkin pie or cranberry souffle or pumpkin bars
Mmm….
Definitely orange-cranberry relish – I put it on everything at Thanksgiving time!
I LOVE my family’s traditional Christmas cookies…make them every year and look forward to them year-long! Yum!
Love anything with pumpkin, so All winter Holidays for me!
Really? A new Bosch? I hardly dare hope that you’ll pick my name, but a girl’s got to try. My favorite holiday food? Fudge. With walnuts.
My favorite holiday recipe would be my grandmother’s Kentucky Derby pie. I make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year and remember her! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Sour Cream Fudge would have to be my favorite holiday food. It is unusual and delicious! My brother makes it only at Christmas and everyone looks forward to it every year.
I love my grandmothers stuffing recipe, our family won’t eat any other, it has been in the family for over 100 hundred years. No other will do at our family get togethers. Thanks for the chance to win and by the way I love your blog and have tried several of your recipes, I haven’t found one yet that I haven’t liked
Anything Thanksgiving…but I LOVE turkey legs, cornbread dressing and mashed potatoes!
Christmas and everything with it. All of the desserts for plates, and Christmas breakfast and dinner. Yum!
Grilled turkey breast with red chile marinade! I like it not only because it is THE BEST way to have turkey, but also because making it means that we are spending our Thanksgiving camping in the warm climes of southern New Mexico. love it!
I would have to say my husbands smoked turkey. yum. And with turkey you have to have stuffing.
My favorite is my mom’s blueberry, three layered jello salad. Yumm!
My dad’s scratch-made pancakes on Christmas morning!
I would have to say that my favorite holiday food is chocolate fudge around Christmas time! I love when I get a tin full of it to munch on!
oh my! the best giveaway ever! my favorite is pumpkin bread- yum!
I love it all!!! 🙂 Probably my favorites are stuffing and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.
Thats a hard one. I like food. Period. Especially holiday food. A few of my faves… hot mulled cidar, Christmas morning breakfast casserole, and grandma’s homemade noodles! Im hungry.
mmm, sour cream apple pie!
Homemade ravioli for Christmas. So good.
Every new years day my family invites everyone over and makes large amounts of ebleskivers (that have recently become popular through Williams and Sonoma). Our special buttermilk syrup always makes this treat something to look forward to all year long!
Homemade rolls (Lion house)….sugar cookies…pumpkin roll…stuffing…really, all the food 😉 I love this time of year and I show for it when spring comes and I have to hit the gym hard!!
I love my mother -in-laws stuffing for Thanksgiving. I crave it all year long!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Other than it’s my birthday, I love the fall weather, and family all comes together for that one day. Plus, the-day-after-thanksgiving-sales go on. What’s not to love?
All I need at Thanksgiving is turkey and mashed potatoes(no gravy or nothin’). I dip my turkey into the potatoes and I eat, and I eat, and I eat! My mouth is watering…how many days until Thanksgiving?
Definitely my Aunt’s “mashed potato stuffing”. It is a combination of homemade stuffing & mashed potatoes. You bake it & it is a little bite of heaven!
Hey, yesterday was my birthday too!
My favorite food is ice cream.
My favorite holiday food would have to be pumpkin pie. It’s not something that I would make any other time of the year and I really do enjoy the flavor/texture of this 2x a year treat. Thanks!
Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without carrot casserole. I look forward to it every year!!!
My favorites are the cranberry orange bread and stuffed celery sticks (cream cheese and dry italian dressing mixed together and spread into sticks of celery) that my mom makes on Thanksgiving. mmmm
Onion Potato Gratin from Simply Recipes.
http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/onion_potato_gratin/
I love and look forward to eating my mom’s homemade pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My favorite is the pecan pie…YUM!
Pecan pie, no, sweet potato casserole, wait, homemade rolls – okay, I’m a fan of the starches and sweets – if I had to be pinned down it would be monkey bread on Christmas morning!
Thanksgiving roasted turkey with garlic mashed potatoes! Oh and gingerbread for Christmas. That’s two but I can’t choose between an amazing meal and a great treat.
Pumpkin Pie.
Narrow it down to one? It would be easier to narrow to one on food I don’t like! But I’ll choose stuffing for now. Great for the waistline!
Did you know this many people relied on your for dinner plans???:)
I’d have to say turkey dressing and pumpkin rolls.
Christmas cookies in all of their varieties!
I love anything pumpkin….especially if whipped cream is involved. Love your site!
Can the whole-Thanksgiving-dinner be my favorite? If not, anything made with pumpkin is my favorite. But if I have to choose only one thing, it would be pumpkin bread.
I love turkey. I’ll eat it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other holiday or normal day I can!
Christmas tamales.
Pumpkin rolls – how can you go wrong with cream cheese and pumpkin?
This list will also be a great resource for me this season, what a great gift. But for my two cents, the joys of the season brings rich, yummy egg nog. Have to limit my portions but I do love it! PS-I’m a Bosch fan too!

Have to say it’s Thanksgiving, candied yams….delicious 😀
My favorite food of fall/winter time is the fresh pumpkin pies I make every year. I love the whole process of baking it to a wonderful tenderness, and toasting the nutty seeds. Of course the finale is always the delicious pie!
Every Christmas, I gain about 10 lbs. solely from my sister’s coconut bonbons.
It would have to be my Mom’s homemade rye bread. She won 1st place in a baking contest many years ago. That bread with leftover turkey is to die for!
I love all the homeade pies at thanksgiving
pumpkin pie, always!
Every year my mom made Cream Cheese Loaf. I had to pick up the tradition when I moved far from home. It is soooo yummy!
My favorite holiday food is the turkey stuffing my mom makes for Thanksgiving. It is the best!
I’m like you, in that I have a hard time narrowing it down. But I love Thanksgiving Dinner with mashed potatoes, turkey (lotsa dark meat, baby), my mom’s homemade dressing and oodles of turkey drippings gravy. *salivating* *slurp* So glad I only have to wait one more month until it’s on like donkey kong 🙂
My favorite is my mom’s Turkey & homemade stuffing at Thanksgiving. She’d get us all up so early to dice up the bread and add all the fixings. It always turned out fantastic. The pies are also a favorite. We make a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe that was handed down from my husband’s mother. I love having something on the table that has been a favorite for multiple generations!
I love birthday breakfast..apple pancakes with apple cider syrup. It’s what I grew up having for every birthday for breakfast. It;s delicious!
I love love love my mom’s mashed potatoes and gravy at Thanksgiving!! AND, my grandma’s apple pie drenched in whipped cream… mmmm
This time of year we have friends over to decorate halloween sugar cookies. We love this. We had friends over tonight to join us. And my Kitchen-Aid broke… Right in the middle of whipping up our beautiful frosting!! Ugh!!!
Pumpkin pie!
My mom makes this amazing sweet potato and green apple concoction. It’s heaven in a casserole dish….topped with marshmallows :).
Peanut Butter Fudge
Ooh, that’s easy. I love stuffing. So much so that I eat it all year round, but it feels more special at the holidays. And when my mom makes it.
Pumpkin Pie!!! My absolute favorite, can’t help it, can’t stay out of it, so glad it’s that time of year again. Thank you.
I love Butterscotch Butterballs (kind of like Monkey Bread?) on Christmas morning. It’s soooo easy to prep the night before and the gooey goodness is ready by the time the kids are finished opening presents.
Definitely my moms homemade pecan pie. I Have to have one for Thanksgiving and Christmas 🙂
So I have 2 favs. my 1st is my husbands 95year old Grandma’s (she is my grandma too….right!) Green bean casserole. It isn’t like any other. It has tobasco sauce, mushrooms and cream! It is unreal! I also have to say christmas wouldn’t be the same without her hand mixed (yes she is 95 and hand mixes) cinnamon rolls! They are to die for!
Christmas food…hands down. Though Thanksgiving is a close second!
Stuffing. Cold. Hot. Fresh. Reheated. Homemade stuffing is always amazing!!
It’s a toss up between pumpkin cheesecake and dark chocolate fudge with walnuts. I love your blog and would love to win!
It’s a toss up between pumpkin cheesecake and dark chocolate fudge with walnuts. I love your website and I’d love to win!
The dish we had for any holiday or special occasion was my Mom’s Carrot Souffle. Talk about comfort food! It is a must have and not difficult to make either!
I love pumpkin rolls!! Favorite part of Thanksgiving for the past 3 years!
Butterscotch Spice cookies.
Chocolate & hazelnut pavlova with praline sprinkled on top .. delish !
Mmm…I’m going to have to go with pumpkin bread, pumpkin roll, and pumpkin cookies around this time of year…ahh delightful!
My favorite holiday food is stuffing. Sort of odd I know but we really only eat it around the holidays and it is SOOOOO yummy!
My new favorite–as of last Christmas–is chocolate baklava! It’s a special sort of dessert you don’t get all the time and makes great gifts:)
Homemade rolls!!!
My mom’s homemade orange rolls. We have them at Christmas & Easter.
Prime rib!
My favorite holiday food? Whatever anyone else makes for me! 🙂
There are SOOO many holiday foods I absolutely adore! I, like you, am a connoisseur of all things yummy. One that sticks out in my mind right now though -maybe because it’s the weather’s changing or maybe cuz it’s of the pumpkin shortage and I couldn’t find pumpkin anywhere for months- is Mini Pumpkin Tartlets! Can you say “Delish”?
I would pick my mom’s Cranberry relish. It’s good stuff.
Gingerbread waffles with lemon whipped cream for Christmas breakfast! Yum. Makes me wish Christmas was here already 🙂
Like so many others have said, it’s almost impossible for me to pick a favorite, but one goodie I love around the holiday’s is homemade English Toffee!
I can’t wait to break out my Gma H’s sugar cookie recipe. I always make them for Halloween, Christmas and V Day. My family is already asking when I’ll pull out the rolling pin.
Gooey caramel popcorn. It is the most addictive thing I have ever eaten, and so tasty.
My family loves two things for the holidays. I make pretty good cresent rolls from a recipe I received from a lovely little grandmother when I was in my early teens. My son dreams of these. Another fun tradition is homemade sugar cutout cookies. My children loved to make and decorate these for the holidays. Happy Baking!
Homemade toffee. It is so simple and easy to make!
Definitely the monster eyeballs. They’re peanut butter creamies covered with chocolate AND an M&M for the eye. They are AWESOME!
Christmas cookies!! My Grandma made the best cookies and on Christmas Eve the table was overflowing with different varieties of cookies. Loved it!
Classic homemade apple pie! Yum!
by far, my favorite holiday food is the Finnish things we ate at Christmas. I love the gingerbread cookies(Piparkakut) and sweet bread(Pulla). I love to make the cookies every year and have yet to learn how to make the bread…its one thing I need to do this year! Mmmmmmm, looking forward to Christmas now!!! 😉
SOOOO hard to choose. I think I will have to go with my hubbys family’s Upside down Apple Pie.
Ginger Molasses cookies
Chewy spice cookies with lemon glaze…yummy!
My favorite holiday foods are all the sweets and candies…Specifically it would be my grandmother’s famous almond coffee cake and homemade almond roca.
I love English Toffee!
Peppermint Bark
It would have to be my mother’s almond rocha at Christmas time or pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving! Ooooh, I gotta make me some!
My sister’s homemade cranberry sauce. I love it and it’s great on turkey sandwiches made on croissants with cream cheese and red leaf lettuce. The cranberry sauce is a recipe that has been in our family for years.
My favorite holiday food is breakfast crepes. On holidays my mom would whip up a TON of these delicious ‘pancakes’, would make homemade syrup, and we’d eat them with fresh fruit and whipped cream. I know this doesn’t require a Bosch to make, but I did grow up with my mom using a Bosch and I’ve dreamed of having one of my own for as long as I can remember. Upon getting married, my mother in law bought each of her daughters/daughters-in-law a Kitchen Aid. I’m grateful for it, but it’s no Bosch. Since I already had a mixer, I spent my Bosch money on my sister-in-law instead, and sadly, I don’t think she’s used it more than a couple times. (I even bought her the special cookie dough attachment). Anyway, if you pick me I’d be especially grateful. <3
My favorite has to be at Christmastime and the Peanut Blossom cookies I love to make! Mmmmm…..
Scones with honey butter Christmas Butter. My mouth is watering just thinking about them!
Oh how I would love the Bosch! My favorite holdiay food is pumpkin pie or anything pumpkin. Yummy!!
Mine would definitely have to be my Mom’s sweet potato pie/casserole, so yummy, I could eat only that one dish for my Thanksgiving meal.
Hands down a peppermint stick/chocolate ice cream during the Christmas holiday.
Caramel corn. I make bags and bags to give to neighbors for Christmas. And then I eat bags and bags!
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with buttercream frosting. TDF!
I would have to say stuffing … my Grandma’s stuffing to be exact.
halloween sugar cookies decorated with butter cream icing and candy corn!
I love everything about Thanksgiving dinner, and I could possibly be seen eating an entire pan of raspberry pretzel jello salad, sweet and salty:) Or maybe an entire basket of hot rolls with a stick of butter:)
It has to be the rocky road fudge that I make every year at Christmas time. Its fun to make enough to give away too!
I love turkey with cranberry sauce and then when Thanksgiving is over I have a leftover turkey sandwich on a homemade roll with cranberry sauce. Yummy and yummier.
My mom always makes this super yummy pumpkin mousse cheesecake for Thanksgiving. I look forward to it every year!
Corn bread stuffing and cranberry jello for Thanksgiving and fondue for Christmas Eve dinner. Love holiday food!
Sweet potatoes!
Caramel Pecan Pan Rolls Christmas morning…and oh so easy to make 🙂
I need that bosch.
For me it’s almond rice pudding with cherry topping. Not only is it the food but the tradition that comes with it of placing one whole almond the shivered almonds and guessing who has the whole almond in the family. Who knows maybe this year I’ll acutally win:)
OH please OH please pick me! I really want/need a bosch for our family! My favorite holiday food is gingerbread cookies or pumpkin cookies (not pie:)). Emmers is my dads nickname for my daughter Emmy-too funny!
How fun to think thru all of our favorites! Reading thru the posts is making me hungry 😉 I think I would choose homemade sourcream sugar cookies on Valentines Day – I gather my kids, neices and nephews and we bake and decorate little gems of love every year!
Hmmm…it’s just fun to ponder all of our favorites! I am hungry just reading all the posts! But, if I have to choose just one it would be homemade sugar cooking on Valentines day…I gather my kids, neices and nephews and we decorate cookies with love every year!
My mom always made chili for the kids before we went out trick-or-treating. Whenever I smell chili I think of the good ole times when I could still get free candy 🙂
Homemade fondant hand dipped in chocolate! A family tradition my grandma started when my mom was little. Fun and Delicious!
Pumpkin cheesecake!! mmmm I could eat it all day!
The Christmas season is never complete without homemade peppermint ice cream and hot fudge pudding cake. My mouth is watering thinking about it. You are the best to be giving away a bosch! Tell your sister happy birthday!
Hands-down favorite are my grandmother’s Portuguese sweet rolls. She made them every Easter without fail until her passing three years ago. They are Easter to me. My sister and I make them now at Easter and are teaching our kids how to as well so that the tradition will live on through the generations.
my sister-in-law’s pumpkin rolls:)
Mine favorite holiday food would have to egg casserole and cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning for breakfast!
Even with all the yummy treats going around, my fav has to be my green bean bundles with bacon. Yum.
I could not due with out my cranberry orange scones!
My grandma’s dressing for sure. Every year I make it with her with the hopes I can continue the tradition. I have yet to get it right without her help.
Divinity…..best made in a nice brand new Bosch!
I LOVE anything made with pumpkin, but pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese filling would have to be my favorite.
This is too hard to narrow down! Pumpkin pie, and sausage and apple stuffing are at the top of the list!
Death by Chocolate Trifle and home made blueberry pie. You can’t celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving without them.
4th of July!! BBQ, summer produce! Yum! Yum! Yum!!
I dream about stuffing from inside a turkey (I know, you’re not supposed to, but I still do) with gravy. For some reason you can’t make it the rest of the year or it won’t taste as good as it does on Thanksgiving. I have to make the white bread from scratch first and it’s even better.
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are my favorite. I look forward to them all year!
All time Thanksgiving favorite is Corn Pudding – nothing better!
Christmas. BonBons. Good memories of cooking with mom.
I can’t have Christmas with out my mom’s hot apple cider. I have tried and tried to recreate it but I can’t get it to taste the same. I wish she would make it everyday for me.
My husband’s grandma makes homemade eggnog milkshakes every Christmas eve. Yummy! Definitely my favorite holiday treat! I hope I win! I am sick of kneading all my breads and rolls by hand! 🙂
The favorite in our house is Aunt Eve’s Czech Christmas cookies!
I would have to say the whole turkey dinner!
My Dad’s yummy ham and my Great Grandma’s green beans!
At thanksgiving, for the past several years, I have made a pomegranate salad. Absolutely refreshing and requested by many friends.
Pumpkin Gingersnap Cheesecake…love itt!! 🙂
My mom makes some really yummy Pumpkin Rolls around Thanksgiving and they pop up again around Christmas. Love fall and winter seasons!!!
We make candy at Christmas. Fudge always. Other times we have made peanut brittle, truffles, potato candy, sugared walnuts.
My ultimate would be a family recipe of Boiled Custard. It was my great great grandmother’s recipe that my family makes every Christmas. It is served in a drink form and is absolutely decadent. It is made with milk and eggs, but tastes nothing like eggnog. It was the one thing that I made while living in Africa that made it actually feel like Christmas to me. There really is nothing better….love it!
I love baking ANYTHING this time of year. So I guess anything that is made by baking is my fav holiday food.
Smoky cheeseball and crackers or Marshmallows dipped in caramel and rolled in rice krispies….
Anything with pumpkin in it!!! Pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake….I’m sure I could figure out some side dishes with it too!!!!
I love pumpkin cookies!
I love rolls for every holiday! Where would we be if we didn’t have all those carbs with the ham and turkey at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter?
Vanilla bark coated pretzels at Christmas. My favorite!
My mom’s sticky buns…I can almost make them like she does!
I love the Rolls. BREAD!!! I love the rolls at thanksgiving and christmas.
My moms orange rolls she makes for Thanksgiving!!!!
The holidays are rich with tasty delights, but my visions of Christmas time is not complete without conjouring up batches of creamy caramels from my grandmother’s love worn recipe pages. We share the wrapping of the sweets with Christmas carols and then carefully bundle these gifts to share with friends, family and Secret – Santa recepients. A close second behind is the traditional Ebelskiver brunch on Christmas morning – Yum!
My favorite holiday treat is Tangy Orange Balls for Christmas. It’s one of those things no one else has ever heard of, but my mom made every year so it’s dear to my heart. It’s sentimental, but that’s what the holidays are for, right?
I absolutely L-O-V-E my moms “idiots delight” (some call it other things) Vanilla and chocolate pudding layers on a baked crust mmmmmmmm!
fALL IS OUR FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR FOR BAKING. EVERY OCTOBER WE LOVE TO MAKE PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING.
It would have to be the berrimisu I serve for our Christmas dinner!
My dad makes egg benedict with a delicious cheese sauce every year for Christmas breakfast and that is my favorite holiday food (or maybe it just sounds really good right now because I’m pregnant?)
I love my mom’s prime rib at christmas and her homemade rolls…and Tollhouse Cookie Pie at any occasion:) and hot cider in the fall….etc. etc. etc.:)
Thanksgiving pumpkin pie
Every Holiday has a favorite for me but I am going to go with my Easter devilled eggs
Valentine’s day Cheesecake.
Pumpkin Roll tied with Pumpkin Pie

Ummm anything that has pumpkin, chocolate chips and cream cheese!!! YUM! Fall is the time to bake as my mother puts it!
pumpkin bread!
Aunt Pat’s Vinegar Cucumbers! These are a MUST for the Thanksgiving table!
Wow, look at all the people who read your blog! My favorite holiday food is mashed potatoes and gravy or something my family always makes. Cream cheese mixed with chopped green olives and garlic salt stuffed in celery. Mmmmmm.
Pumpkin pie or my homemade cinnamon rolls!
I love lefse!
So, not really a holiday dish, but cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning with hot chocolate. LoVe It!!
Definately stuffing. I always make double the stuffing for next day treat.
It is so hard to choose just one! But I would have to say that monkey buns on Christmas morning are a must have each year in my family. Ooey gooey goodness to the last bite!
Pumpkin Pie!
Our favorite as of last Christmas is Deep Fried Turkey – 14 pound bird cooks in 45 minutes – absolutely the best turkey ever.
My favorite holiday food is… Pecan pie! Can you tell I’m southern? 🙂 I also love broccoli casserole, mmmmm.
My favorite holiday food? Simple, its the same for each holiday morning – a mug of Vietnamese-french style coffee (cafe’ sua da) with sweetened Chinese crullers shared with my Mom. Simple and sweet. =)
(Basically… an asian spin to the cafe au lait with beignets like from Cafe’ Du Monde)
Homemade donuts at Halloween! The only time of year we make them.
I love my mom’s famous Chinese New Year Cookies – a no bake dessert with semi sweet chocolate, butterscotch, peanuts, and pretzels….mmmmm!
Oh how I love stuffing, but this year I tried a new pumpkin pecan toffee pie recipe which is just wonderful and may just be a new fave. This is a wonderful giveaway and would be so sweet since my old faithful Braun machine kicked the bucket recently.
Definitely Dad’s mashed potatoes!!!! Can’t wait for someone to win a Bosch, I here they are the life of the kitchen.
Mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving.
What isn’t my favorite food this time of year? But I love turkey and stuffing probably the most.
One of my favorite foods this time of year are pumpkin cookies. Yum, yum yum!
Hmmm, I love all foods, but I’ll go with homemade strawberry ice cream on the 4th of July.
Okay..not really sure if this is my favorite thing to eat at the holidays..but I love Christmas morning breakfast. My inlaws come over aftere us opening our gifts and its become a great tradition that my kids look forward to..so that makes it even better.
Four favs: Merry Christmas cookies from a 1950’s Betty Crocker cookbook (been making since age12), buckeyes (been making since age 17), vegetable beef soup and Party mix-my Mother In Law made these two recipes for forty years and passed them along to me. Making the soup and party mix brings back happy memories of her for me and my family!
My mommy’s cinnamon rolls Christmas morning. Ahhhhh memories. I try to carry on the tradition, but mine just never seem quite as good.
Every Christmas growing up. my mum would make a beautiful bread tree. Soft and sweet, with nuts and cherries tucked in……I think I’ll go make one now!
Wow, ALOT of comments and it’s only Monday! My favorite Holiday dish is Apple Sausage Stuffing. I always make a ton so I can eat it for days afterwards!
Oh, I’d love to win this! My favorite holiday food is everything in a traditional turkey dinner – well, except the stuffing, I’m not a big stuffing fan. But turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, veggies …. in my area, the typical veggies for a turkey dinner are carrots and “turnip” (rutabaga, called turnip in my area). Some people mash them together, but I like my carrots in coins and my turnip mashed with some sugar to cut the bitterness.
You’re awesome to do this. Love your blog. I think I would have to say homemade stuffing.
My mother-in-law’s stuffing.
A mound of Monkey bread! With extra icing and homemade whip cream.
sweet potato casserole!
My mom’s homemade wheat cinnamon rolls make any day a holiday!! YUM!!
Stuffing, since I only make it on Thanksgiving. And all the pumpkin desserts
Homemade chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes…Grandma’s recipe…much better than gravy 🙂 Love your website by the way!
It’s hard to pick just one! But thanksgiving foods like Mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry fluff would be among my favorite!
Too many to name just one. Definitely during Christmas cheesecake & cinnamon rolls!
most people call them funeral potatoes, but they are fantastically amazing!! All that cheezy, potato goodness! Love them with all the fall holidays!
A Bosch would be SO awesome for all the delicious holiday goodies I’ll be whipping up this year! The possibilities are endless….daydreaming has officially begun. Just looking at your favorites has added to my list of recipes I need to try. Seriously, YUM! My favorite holiday food is this amazing toffee my friend makes. She always gives us a little baggie. Teaser! It’s SO yummy!
I love to eat homemade rolls dipped in homemade turkey gravy at Thanksgiving!
I just made Pumpkin Scones and they were WONDERFUL. Thank you for being so generous!
My Grandma’s (now my dad makes it) cherry pudding with real whipped cream for Christmas.
My favorite holiday food is stuffed turkey. The stuffing AND the turkey together (with gravy) in one solitary bite of perfection. Ahhhh! I can’t wait!
Pumpkin roll or my grandma’s apple pie. I also adore savory appetizers served at some holiday parties.
I like hot dogs off the grill on 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, or any other day you can grill out!
Cinnamon rolls!!! I make them for the neighbors but end up eating waaaaaay too many myself. yum! can’t wait to make some
Probably apple pie for Christmas and when Easter rolls around has to be my banana cream pie. I love pies:)
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramels only available at Christmas-time from Trader Joe’s.
I love fried turkey with stuffing and turkey gravy!
I absolutely have fallen for the pumpkin bars recipe I found on this site. Seriously. Also anything with apples. Which I am gonna go make some apple crisp right now. I love baking this time of year so I love Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Best food ever 🙂
[email protected]
Homemade Banana Cream pies!!! My mom used to make them when I was little but when I got older she decided store bought was fine. Horrible I know!! So now that I have a family of my own, I insist on making the banana cream pies for everyone for the holidays. Reminds me of the magic of Christmas….. and my childhood. Does it get any better than that? 🙂
I would have a hard time picking just one…so I will pick THanksgiving…Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce…I am off to check out the 2hour turkey!
Thanks for the chance to win!
cheesecake is definitely in the top 10!!
Pecan Pie!!! 🙂 Thanks for an AWESOME giveaway!

Thanksgiving would be just another meal without my grandma’s homemade stuffing. It is heaven!! I crave it all year long.
Man, it is hard to choose which one. I love food way to much!!! I will say my Grandma’s Chex Mix for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I LOVE it!!
I just have to say I absolutely LOVE your blog. I get on it ALOT and always make my weekly menu from it and I have found our favorite recipes from here. So thank you for sharing all of your with us!!

I have too many favorite holiday treats to pick one so I narrowed it down to two! Pumpkin Surprise and my Mom’s Toffee! It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving or Christmas without these two!
Thanks for the chance at a great givewaway! My favorite is turkey with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy and Christmas morning strata (a make- ahead dish with bread, eggs, milk, sausage and cheese and then baked) Yum!!
Favorite holiday food??? I would have to say homemade cranberry relish. It is cranberries that are still a little frozen, a peeled orange, a apple, cored and ground up in a food processor. Add honey to taste. I can eat almost a whole bowl myself. It is the best part of Thanksgiving or any holiday….
martha(at)lclink(dot)com
I would make the Barefoot Contessa’s Pecan Squares and a friend’s delicious almond tart. Both so rich and tasty I save making them for the holidays.
I’ve gotta say…. latkes (potato pancakes) on Hanukkah. I could eat plates and plates of those with some applesauce and cinnamon!
I love both Thanksgiving for the Pumpkin Cheesecake and Christmas for the rolls (although anytime is GREAT for rolls in my opinion!) and just plain having a good excuse to look for a new recipe!!
I love the recipes on your blog and have gotten many off it that I use all of the time. Thank you!
We have a family tradition of serving potato dumplings with browned butter crumbs as part of our Christmas dinner. We all fight over them! YUM!

Turkey. Turkey, turkey, turkey.
Turkey.
Pumpkin Crunch Dessert. So yummy!
Oh…how do I choose? I would have to say the homemade Almond Roca is my favorite around Christmas. Oh man, my mouth is watering already.
I love Thanksgiving! Probably because my birthday lands on Thanksgiving about every 4 years. But, I think it is mostly because I reflect on how thankful I am for all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. It is so wonderful to be gathered together to be thankful for all that we have! Food, well it has to be the candied yams!
i love love love thanksgiving and the side dish of brussel sprouts with lemon and walnut
I love Thanksgiving! Probably because my birthday lands on Thanksgiving about every 4 years. But, I think it is mostly because I reflect on how thankful I am for all the wonderful blessings I have in my life. It is so wonderful to be gathered together to be thankful for all that we have!
Cranberry Salsa for Thanksgiving, Pumpkin Bread for Christmas and All the leftover candy that I hide from my kids!!!
(vegetarian) stuffing.
hands down, no questions.
For sure it’s chocolate toffee at Christmas! Love it!
It would have to be my neighbor’s cinnamon rolls she brings around every December! Melt in your mouth good!!!
Anything pumpkin!
Homemade pirohi. (Or pierogies, as you may call them!) I’ve had them every year of my life as part of our Slovak Christmas Eve traditional dinner. I couldn’t imagine a Christmas Eve without them!
Cornbread dressing!!!!!!!!!!
I totally love stuffing. Always have to have it during the holidays.
Pecan Pie!
Oh my, what a sweet giveaway! My kitchenaide just doesn’t cut it for big batches of bread, so I have been so wanting one of these! As for the food, I would have to say the sweet yam casserole that my mom always makes for Thanksgiving.
My favorite holiday food is what we call in our family “Corn Pudding”. Others probably call it scalloped corn. My grandmother got the recipe somewhere when I was a small child and it was served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I always looked forward to those holidays because that was the only time we ever had it. I still love it to this day, and now my children love it as well.
That would be the bread dressing. Love that great gravy poured over the top. I’m hungry!!!!!!
I love Symphony Fudge at Christmas time!
My favorite holiday food would have to be anything with pumpkin in it… pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin roll, or pumpkin pie. Yum!
I have a love of the combination of chocolate and mint:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Chip-Peppermint-Cookies/Detail.aspx
My favorite is armbrot, which is a delicious german dinner that we have sometimes, but for sure every Christmas Eve. It is soup, german breads, cold cuts AND cakes. DELISH!
My favorite is Sweet Potato Souffle with orange zest and coconut. Pecans and marshmallows on top 🙂 Yummy! Ever since I’ve been making bread, about 2 years I’ve wished I had a bosch instead of a kitchenAid
Hard to choose…for Thanksgiving my sister’s cornbread sausage stuffing and Christmas are all the sweet, rich, gooey, yummy treats like fudge!
It would have to be our Thanksgiving feast! Turkey, potatos, gravy, and the rest of the yummy sides! Oh, and don’t forget the pies!! Happy Holidays! (PS – I’m Julianne’s sister and I have heard great things about you!)
I would have to say sugar cookies with icing on them. YUM!
Oh my comments! I guess I am just one of the thousands that love your blog, I especially love how you’ve categorized your main dishes, it is so helpful! The last time I planned my two week dinner menu it was all from your blog, you are wonderful! I look forward to sweet potatoes and my moms banana cream pie every year!
My favorite is the one that makes my family smile with delight. That changes from year-to-year. Last year, it was a citrus & garlic turkey.
Stuffing from my local grocery store. I don’t know what they add to it, but it’s wonderful and I wish they served it all year long instead of just for two short months.
Love love love breadsticks!!! Unfortunately, we have to eat gluten free at our house now, so I need to relearn how to make them. And I need a new mixer since my old one is contaminated with wheat flour!
Turkey stuffing casserole. My mom makes this every year with the leftovers from the Thanksgiving turkey.
Oh, how I have been dreaming of a bosch. I love the saving it first in a fire comment! My favorite holiday food is sugar cookies with lots of frosting and the best thing is you can decorate them to be appropriate for every holiday. Dang, I should have made Columbus cookies today 🙂
I was going to say the Potato Water Cinnamon Rolls we always used to make because I cannot live in a world without potatoes or their byproducts, but then I remembered one of the newer traditions in my family. When all four of us kids are home the day after a major holiday, my brothers will get up and make donut dough before they start farm chores. Then, my sister and I will putz around the kitchen shaping, baking, frying, and drizzling. When the boys are done feeding cows, we’ll set the table for a feast of homemade donuts and scrambled eggs, fresh-picked from the henhouse. Those donuts have changed the holidays in an awesome way.
My husband’s baked caribbean-jerk ribs, hands down! We have them every Thanksgiving. We have a small fam, so we don’t always do turkey. Weird huh?
Grandma Elna’s candied yams and apples. MMMMMM! I look forward to them every Thanksgiving.
Well…I love LOTS of food but my favorite things are the ham, mashed potatoes, and ham gravy (with buttery homemade rolls)!! We have it for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas every year! I love it!!
My mom’s recipe for pumpkin pie (Thanksgiving)–there’s just nothing like it!
My favorite holiday dish is Yams with Carmel Sauce and Pecans. This is my mom’s recipe and involves sliced, soft, sweet yams baked in thick, gooey, homemade caramel with crunchy pecans sprinkled all over the top. Delicious!
My favorite holiday food would be my mother’s homemade rolls. They are a tradition that spans generations and I love teaching my daughter’s how to make them as well.
Molasses/spice/gingerbread cookies at Christmas…straight from the freezer. Mmmmm!
tough one… either cornbread stuffing the way my dad made it, cranberry relish the way my mom makes it, or apricot bow-tie cookies the way my grandma made them.
Yam and Apple. Straight from the Lion House cookbook. Oh my goodness, I am already salivating.
Every Christmas time our family gathers round to make Oreo Truffles! The best person to watch make them was the oldest teenage boy of the family…he made each with exact PERFECTION!!
The recipe is simple: 1 bag of finely crushed oreos, 8 oz cream cheese and chocolate/white almond bark for melting. Mixe the oreos and cream cheese. Form into balls and the roll in the melted almond bark. Let dry and then devour!
frosted root beer cookies & frosted ginger cookies…it’s the season and I can’t choose just one.
I love Christmas food…. sugar cookies, spice cake, my mom’s yule log… I got my wisdom teeth out around Christmas and that didn’t even stop me from eating spice cake… Yum!
Pumpkin anything! Love it….
Definitely my grandma’s Thanksgiving Salad – comprised of diced apples, sliced bananas, pineapple chunks, chopped walnuts and real whipped cream. It is everything “Thanksgiving!”
Prime rib roast, for any of the holidays.
The first snow of the season no matter what is going on I drop everything I have planned for that day and make homemade cinnamon rolls. But I also love the Eclair Cake during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I live for that first slice of pumpkin pie of the season…yum!! Thank you!
My favorite recipes are all about fall and Thanksgiving. I would have to say that the 2 I couldn’t live without would be a good old pumpkin roll and homemade strawberry slush!
Homeade cheeseball!
I make big fat sugar cookies (with gobs of frosting) for every holiday.
Mashed Potatoes!
my mom’s mexican wedding ring cookies. They have many different names, but mom’s recipe for these little buttery nuggets of sweetness, full of pecans is my favorite!
One of my favorites are Sealed with a kiss cookies. They are chocolate chip shortbread with a Hershey kiss wrapped inside. They just melt in your mouth! Yummy!
Tough question, so I’ll just stick with Halloween. Growing up, my mom always made a rice dinner inside a hallowed out pumpkin. It wouldn’t be Halloween without it!
My mom makes these delicious holiday potatoes – twice baked mashed potatoes with cheese and green and red peppers. Yum, once a year and I can never get enough!
I have two favorites- green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving!! Sooo good, and makes me so excited for Thanksgiving!
I LOVE Christmas holiday cookies and candies! Fun and Yum 🙂
Love love love your website! So many holiday favorites to choose from but I would have to say for me its an appetizer I make when I entertain during the holidays. I make this sundried tomato, pesto and goat cheese torte served with pita chips Mmmm!!! I make it the day before and it’s ready to go. It’s layed with red and green so perfect for Christmas and beautiful to serve.
I love all food associated with Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, one of my favorite things is my cheese fondue for Christmas Eve.
I would have to go with a maple-y pumpkin pie. I love that flavor combination. I had it once at a party and have yet to be able to replicate it!
Cheesy, to be sure, but it’s my mom’s yearly attempt at a layered jello salad for Christmas. More years that not it doesn’t “do”, but it is yummy and makes me think of my childhood.
Turkey and all the fixings. Also, today is my sister’s birthday!! Sisters are awesome.
Turkey and dressing!!! We have it at Thanksgiving AND Christmas. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!
Pumpkin roll!
Chicken cacciatore! The only dish I’ll eat that has wine in it. Haven’t had it in awhile so I can’t remember if my mom made it for Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. Anyway, I do remember how delicious it was!
Thanks for the opportunity to win. I have your site in “my favorites” and check it everyday!
I have to say I love mashed potatoes and gravy! It’s simple and very yummy.

I would have to say stuffing. Turkey is a close second, simply because I never eat it any other time of the year.
Monkey bread on Christmas Morning 🙂
I love Thanksgiving and all the fixins. I think the rolls would have to be my favorite part. But I really love them all.
I know it’s not fancy, but I love green bean casserole on Thanksgiving! And even though I could make it any other day of the year, it just tastes better to me on that day.
Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Enchiladas!! My family makes enchiladas with the leftover turkey, it is hands down the best way to use up leftovers. I love making the recipes you feature on your blog. A Bosch would be a fabulous addition to my kitchen in helping create the yummy recipes you gift us with!
I’d have to say that my favorite dish is the butterscotch rolls my mom makes on Christmas morning. They’re warm, gooey and delicious!
Thanksgiving Maple Cookies!!

Also, our favorite dessert is Amaretto Breeze with Almond Crescents. Do I have a theme going here? Guess so! Our holidays are always festive!
Since Halloween is on my mind, my favorite Halloween treat is a caramel apple! Yum!
Definitely my grandmother’s turkey dressing. Oh, just thinking about it makes me so hungry.

Anise Cookies–a definite memory maker…….

Almond toffee, but since I haven’t found a recipe to try to make it from yet, I have to eat it from the gift box…otherwise, stuffing with gravy, cranberry orange relish, it’s just not the holidays without them! Thanks for your website and mixer drawing, you’re awesome!
I can’t say that I have one food, unless you just lump Christmas cookies/candies together.
Every year starting in December I start baking and make probably 10-15 different kinds of cookies and candy all month long. I hand it out to neighbors and bring it to work to share with everyone. I take requests for favorite cookies and end up making 1-3 batches of some cookies. That is my Favorite Christmas dish…. cookies and candy for friends, neighbors and co workers. It’s my way to spread the Christmas spirit!
Pumpkin rolls!
I love peanut butter and chocolate fudge at Christmas. Can’t wait till Christmas!

I Love Love Love baking holiday breads–sweet breads are a favorite.

I found your site by searching for a Pumpkin Roll recipe- so that is my vote for fall food!

Sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie…..The best!
Sweet Potato Cassarole 🙂 Soooo yummy! Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
A few years ago I found a recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole. It’s mashed sweet potatoes with a crunchy topping of coconut, pecans, brown sugar, etc. on top. Once we tried it, we haven’t gone back to any other sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving! It’s by far my favorite dish on Thanksgiving!
My favorite holiday dish is pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
Pumpkin cheesecake – the Cook’s Illustrated recipe. Sooo good.

Christmas eggnog
Melanie I love your web site and tell all my friends about it. My favorite holiday food is an orange or lemon roll (depending on my mood) that I make at Christmas time I give it as gifts . It seems to be enjoyed by a lot of people because they always ask if they get to be on my list.
Any kind of seasonal cheesecake! pumpkin..pomagranite…gingerbread… ANY!
Hmmm probably cream cheese pumpkin roll or Christmas sugar cookies!
My friend was telling me today about a recipe called “vegetables in a cloud” sounded soooo yummmy…..I am going to make it for our Thanksgiving dinner this year!
Sweet potatoes carmalized in brown sugar and topped with pecans, homeade pumpking pie with grandma’s die for crust that melts your tastebuds away and delicious rolls that have been baking all morning that let you know it’s thanksgiving.
I love pecan pie – anytime!
LOVE… LOVE… LOVE my mother in laws sweet potato souflee… its’s the best!
Turkey. I know it’s so cliche, but I really do love it so much.
I love stuffing. But a Christmas ham is also good.
Oh, I’m so in. Pick me, please! Just found your website to day, and LOVE it!
Dutch Apple Pie. And Pumpkin Bread or cookies. Yum!
My grandma used to make something called “Vinegar Dumplings” that we would have at Thanksgiving. Soooooo different buy YUM!
hands down my grandma’s pecan brittle… that stuff is amazing. good thing it does only come out at christmas time!
I love stuffing!!! Yum!
Baklava during Christmastime. We make 2 different types of cookies for Christmas, this one being my dads favorite to make, and his specialty. Not until he passed away does it mean more to me.
Mine is homemade orange rolls…..yum, yum, yum!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving – without a doubt. You get all the love of family & food – without any of the Christmas stress:)
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, hands down! It finally feels like the holidays when I can smell them baking.
Having the only granchild/child, Christmas mornings now happen in my little apartment. For the past 7 years, I have made a simple make-ahead breakfast casserole with lots of eggs, hash-brown-style frozen potatoes, cottage and cheddar cheeses, and diced ham, that I adapted from a Betty Crocker cookbook. It’s creamy, hot, tasty goodness, that usually gets served alongside homemade cinnamon rolls. It allows me to focus on my son, sisters, and mom as we gather together, rather than cooking.
My favorite holiday food is strufali(?sp) it is an italian cookie my in laws make for Christmas!
My mom, my sister and I take a whole Saturday in December every year and make batches and batches and batches of candy. It’s a tradition we started about 8 years ago and I look forward to it every year. The English toffee we make is AMAZING (and definitely my favorite), but the best part is really all the giggling. Love it!
I love the stuffing we make for Thanksgiving – homemade cornbread, turkey sausage and apples – to name a few ingredients!
White Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies at Christmastime. 🙂
I love homemade donuts on Halloween. I think it is a fun tradition.
Our favorite recipe has been in the family for decades (literally). Nobody can say when or who or how it started.
It’s a Yam and Apple casserole that is to die for. We have it every Thanksgiving, and we always make LOADS of the stuff, just so we can have it for leftovers for the next week. The leftover turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes might get tossed, but the Yam and Apple casserole gets eaten WAY before anything else.
We recently figured out that it’s not so bad as a breakfast item either!
Definitely my mom’s sage dressing. It’s so simple, but I could eat it every day!!
Totally love Halloween!!! But my favorite holiday meal is Christmas Breakfast mush!
Mmmmmm, Thanksgiving food. I’m all about the leftovers.
My favorite holiday food is my Mom’s Pecan Log. No wait, it’s her banana cream pie. Or maybe it’s her stuffing! Or Monkey bread (which is not a sweet dessert recipe). Yum- they are all fabulous!
Spiral sliced ham and cheesy (funeral) potatoes! Yum!
I would have to say my favorite holiday treat is tangy orange balls at Christmas. It’s one of those random things that no one’s ever heard of, but my mom made them every Christmas and I always looked forward to them as a kid. Mor sentimental than anything, I guess, but that’s what the holidays are all about!
Stuffing with lots of gravy! I even put gravy on warm buttered rolls! 🙂
My Grandma makes these “Thunder Thigh” bars (her name for them, not mine.) They are a combination chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, sweetened condensed milk, pecans, and brownie batter. You eat them and it goes straight to your thighs…hence the thunder part. 🙂
It’s got to be sweet potato casserole with struesel pecan topping. My sister-in-law made it last year for Thanksgiving and I have been craving it ever since. It has replaced pumpkin pie as my favorite thing about Thanksgiving and that is hard to do!
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies…YUM!!
I absolutely LOVE the pumpkin cheesecake that has been part of our Christmas tradition for as long as I can remember. 🙂 I also love my mom’s incredible spice cookies that she won’t share her secret to until I’m ‘a mommy myself’. 😉
My favorite is Grandma Tandy’s sorgum cookies!
My favorite would have to be Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. I love making them and putting extra’s in the freezer for the kids lunch. I love making them any time of the year because they remind me of the holidays.
Sweet potato casserole on Thanksgiving!
Pumpkin Roll…no doubt about it!
My favorite is desserts with all the holidays! This is a great giveaway! Thank you!
I’d have to say my mother-in-law’s Turkey Tureen Soup. Always served the day after Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings….turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, and an assortment of pies!
PUMPKIN ROLL!!!!! Loooooove it!
My all time favorite holiday food is my mom’s pumpkin cookies with caramel frosting. It is to die for and just writing this makes me want to go make some!
My favorite is Candied Yams at Thanksgiving. We wrap them around a marshmallow and make a caramel sauce to go over them. I look forward to it all year!
My favorite is pumpkin cheesecake! I could eat it any time of the year.
My favorite food for Thanksgiving and Christmas is a Raw Cranberry Salad. (ground cranberries, sugar, pineapple, marshmallows, nuts, whipped cream) makes a lot but it also freezes well.
Turkey with homemade cranberry sauce in Christmas
Favorite holiday food?? There’s so many! Probably my sister in laws Sweet, Sweet Potatoes at Thanksgiving (think sweetened condensed milk!)
Sugar cookies, hands down! Love them for EVERY holiday (and the bonus is, they make ANY DAY a holiday!).
Karen
I am feelign like spinach artichoke dip!!
Our biggest tradition is the chocolate birthday cake with cream cheese icing complete with vanilla ice cream. Sounds so simple, I know….but- YUM!
A Cherry Braid-braided delicious bread with cherry filling in the middle and icing on top.
Since today is Canadian Thanksgiving, I really have to vote for one of our family’s favorites, Butter Tarts!
My favorite is a stuffing recipe from Bon Appetit from the early 90s. It has italian sausage, granny smith apples, rosemary and mushrooms. Delicious!
my husband’s family’s cranberry salad
I love, love, love, sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Only make them at Thanksgiving because no one likes them but me!
My favorite holiday food is Baklava (sp?) Love it!!
Any kind of pie!
apple pie with a crisp topping!
Eggnog! With brandy!! Also, a traditional turkey dinner: stuffing, mashed pototoes, sweet potatoes with butter, cinnamon and pecans, gravy, and pumpkin pie. Yummmmm.
What the?!? You’re serious? Well then, I would choose Pumpkin Roll with cream cheese frosting. Really anything with cream cheese, but I do get excited for fall so I can make a pumpkin roll repeatedly. And then devour it.
My mom’s side of the family uses their Italian heritage and makes their traditional homemade lasagna with meatballs and sausage for our Christmas dinner every year. Mmm … mmm … I love it!
Overall, I’d have to say pumpkin pie and stuffing! However you’ve given me a lot of new recipes to try too!
Wowzers, it’s amazing how a giveaway will boost your comments! 😉 My mom is the queen of rolls and it is no holiday if they are not on the table. If I won I would give the Bosch to my mom, her’s is pretty old and she deserves a new one for all of the things she does for me. Thanks for the chance, Mel! You’re wonderful!
A recent favorite of mine is gingerbread pancakes served with homemade apple butter. They are so fragrant and delicious!
Ooooooh! Tough question but I’ll have to go with pumpkin spice cake!
Christmas cookies and/or candies!!!
I would have to go with my mother’s artichoke dip. It will clog your arteries faster than you can say ho ho ho but man what a way to go!
Thanksgiving Lion House rolls! YUM!
I love pumpkin pie!
Stuffing! I don’t know why I don’t eat it all year round.
My grandma’s Broken Glass Torte. She still makes it every Christmas just for me… after she has made dinner and other desserts for thirty… and she is 90!
I love pumpkin pie the most, but any pie would do….especially the bottom crusts! Crazy huh?
sweet potatoes! my favorite!!! Thats the thing I look forward to most on Thanksgiving.
As of last year I have a new favorite holiday food. We started a new Christmas breakfast tradition with breakfast casserole, strawberries and cream, and homemade cinnamon rolls……..all presented on a nicely set table. A new Bosch would make those cinnamon rolls taste so much better!
Oh, that is tough. And there are too many comments here already, but I so want a Bosch (my Kitchenaid just can’t handle making bread on a regular basis and groans at me every time I think about it). I just can’t afford one right now. So hopefully I will just get lucky :).
My favorite holiday food is probably pumpkin rolls. I love those. I have only made them once, but I love, love, love them. But I love a lot of holiday food – pecan pie, caramel apples, breakfast venison steaks. So those are all top contenders too.
We do fondue for New Years and I love it! It’s so yummy and so versatile–and so fun to do with a group!
My favorite things to make are:
Candy Corn Snack Mix

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
http://www.food.com/recipe/peanut-butter-kiss-cookies-23795,

http://www.food.com/recipe/cranberry-cream-cheese-appetizer-114356,
Crustless Cranberry Pie
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Crustless-Cranberry-Pie/Detail.aspx
and I always look forward to pumpkin muffins, my dad’s banana cream pie, my mom’s x-mas breakfast, and pumkin spice chais from Starbucks.
We do fondue for New Years and I love it! It’s so yummy and so versatile–and so fun to do with a group
I couldn’t get along without a pumpkin roll! Yum!!
Now that I’ve sat here thinking for 10 minutes, I’m gonna have to go with my mother-in-laws pecan logs. She makes the smoothest fondant in the world!
I love all the fun appetizers and treats at Christmas partys.
I love cinnamon rolls for Christmas breakfast and any breakfast for that matter!
My favorite holiday food is stuffing at Thanksgiving. It reminds me of the kind my Grandma made when I was little.
I would have to say stuffing and pumpkin pie!
I have a lot of favorites so it is hard to choose just one (so I might have to choose 2) – one is a pecan cream cheese pie and another favorite is a frozen cranberry salad we made every Thanksgiving.
I love chocolate chip pumkin bread or make it into cookies. Really anything pumkin and chocolate!
My favorite holiday food is Dixie Salad. We only have it once a year on Thanksgiving. I am not even sure if there is a true recipe for it. It’s basically made of fruit, nuts, pomegranites, and real whipping cream. It’s sooo yummy. The best part is, that it reminds me of HOME! Many people in southern Utah no what it is, but outside of Utah, it means nothing.
We absolutely LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! your recipes. I have a binder full of our favorites. Our latest favorite is the Slow cooker BBQ Roast. My kids call it Root Beer Roast. And it requested weekly. Thanks:)
As for my favorite Holiday dish….I would have to say Swet Potatoe Casserole. I am not allowed at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner without it. It has to make an appearance even if I don’t. It is a huge hit everywhere!
I have to have sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. I love them! and can eat an entire plate full 🙂
I’d have to go with bran muffins for Christmas breakfast. They are amazingly good right out of the oven (and healthy too). Thanks for all your ideas, your blog helps to inspire a lot of creativity in my own kitchen.
HMM theres just so many to choose from! But i would have to pick my home made cream puffs with sliced dark chocolate covered strawberries!!! I love making these on halloween and bringing them to parties!
My favorite holiday dish would have to be a peppermint cake. Its something a friend of mine makes with candy canes. its delicious and definitely gets me in the Christmas mood!!
My family and I go to my parents house every Halloween weekend and my mom always makes us homemade Goulash. Mostly everything in it is homemade and it is to die for! By far my favorite dish EVER!
Thanks for doing this giveaways (I could definitely use one of these!) and have fun reading 1,144 comments!
There is no possible way that I can narrow it down to just one thing! I LOVE FOOD!! Ok my all time favorite is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Oh I so hope I win! I would love a BOSCH!!
I love my great great grandmothers sweet potato souffle!
I love homemade donuts and chili around Halloween, it is a tradition at our house!
I love the two-hour turkey, and I also love scalloped potatoes with gruyere cheese on them. I’m hungry now!!
My moms stuffing from in the bird. MMMmmm makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
definitely my mom’s stuffing!!! VERY moist, not the dry baked kind, with lots of sage and hard boiled eggs. MY FAVORITE!!!
I would have to say my mom’s PUMPKIN ROLL! It is so yummy, my mouth is watering now as I type this! 🙂 It’s great @ Halloween and Thanksgiving.
This is so hard but probably my mom’s fried chicken, mashed potatoes and milk gravy. -We usually have this around the holiday’s when family is in town!
Favorite holiday food? Homemade beef stroganoff for Xmas. Nontraditional, you bet.
My favorite holiday treat is definitely pumpkin bread. Ummmm, it’s warmy goodness on a cold chilly day just makes everyone happy!
I’ve been wanting one of these! It’s a toss up between 7 layer dip for New Year’s Eve party, or homemade donuts on Halloween!
For me it is gingerbread… I love warm gingerbread during the Christmas holidays and gingerbread boys and girls just make me smile…right before I bite their little heads off! The funny thing is that I only like this in the winter!
I loooove your new favorite cinnamon roll recipe, but I still like your pudding cinnamon roll recipe too!!!
Today’s my birthday too! I LIVE for the rolls on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I eat them like candy…yummmm.
I look forward to making apple pie caramel apples each Fall.
Well I would have to say Halloween desserts. I love anything Pumpkin, if I had to narrow it down I would say Pumpkin doughnuts! They are the bomb and I make them every year.
first off my mother has a bosch and i have always envied it.
my favorite holiday food isn’t really a food it is a drink. i love steamed milk with nutmeg,creamer,clove,cinnamon we call it snowman mix. or warm apple cider or hot chocolate. i am from az, so cozying up to a warm drink when it is 90+ degrees outside is not awesome
Cream Cheese Pumpkin Rolls!
I would have to say pumpkin bread. I love it all fall long and often give mini loaves of it as gifts to guests. It is great for fall and winter in Wisconsin!
My fav. holiday food would have to be turkey…,my husband doesn’t like it, so I only get it twice a year, thanksgiving and Christmas. 🙂 So many favs though!!! Coming in a close 2nd would have to be my moms butterscotch sugar cookies we always make for Christmas….oh yum.
I’ve never commented before, but I look at your blog almost everyday and have been trying all your recipes! Thanks for using less-expensive, more realistic ingredients for the average cook.
My mom’s fruit cookies or her fruitcake (moistened with a shot of Wild Turkey). Yum!
cream cheese pumpkin pie… yum!!
Oh my! This is exciting…thinking about my favorite food, not the bosch give away…ok I’m lying. They are both exciting. I love my father-in-law’s stuffing and my homemade cranberry sauce. I am lucky because I’m married to a Canadian, so we get TWO Thanksgiving dinners. Happy Canadian T-Giving!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies-yum!!!
I love rolls!!!!!! Nothing tastes better on a cold wintery day then hot homemade rolls. Ohhh, and nothing smells better.
And boy could I use that bosch to make them in!
spiced pecans…so good, so simple, and evokes such wonderful memories of Christmas!
We have this every Thanksgiving at my mother-n-law’s and it’s awesome! Its a carrot side dish. Basically it’s very similar to the classic ‘sweet potato casserole’ dish that everyone has but instead you use carrots. Its divine!!! Her theory is that with regular mashed potatoes and sweet potato’s it’s too many starches for diner so she made this dish up. Funny thing is some of the kids never knew it was carrots – thought it was sweet potato’s for years. If your interested in the recipe I’d be more than happy to share (haven’t blogged about it yet!). Just shoot me an email – your family will love it – I promise!
I love all things pumpkin – except pumpkin pie – weird huh!
My favorite holiday food would definitely be my Grandma Betty’s homemade flour tortillas. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter….wouldn’t be complete without them. We could smell them cooking on the griddle as we walked up her front porch steps.
Grandma Betty passed away a few years ago but my Aunt, my sister and I carry on the tradition for the rest of the family. Warm, thick, flour tortillas right off the griddle. Yummmmm.
Come fall I love all things pumpkin. My favorite has to be pumpkin chocolate chip bars with cream cheese frosting!
I love pumpkin rolls during the holidays. I just think they bring in the season.
Pumpkin Pie, delicious!
Homemade caramels are my fave!
Hmmm…..grandma’s Swedish Kringle: generally a Christmas special, but really whenever I miss her. Yum!!!! Never mind the amount of butter and eggs…:) My mom’s Chocolate Chow Mein Noodle candies and Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie are a close second. I’m a sucker for the sweets!!!
Jack-o-latern sugar cookies decorated with candy!
Any food made for Thanksgiving. Stuffing, Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, etc.
My favorite meal is Thanksgiving. I love the turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, the wild rice dish that a friend makes, the homemade yeast rolls, and best of all, my favorite pecan pie. Most of these I only get to taste once a year, but if I have to just list one, then it’s got to be the homemade pecan pie. It’s been my number one favorite dessert ever since I was a child, a gazillion years ago.
My future husband’s holiday season kicks off in september and runs through february (football season). He has friends over every weekend to watch the games downstairs. Although I have never been a fan of inviting groups of people over, this crew have become my taste testers for all of my crazy new recipes and I get the challenge to out do myself each week.
one of my first attempts was pomegranate guacamole. This has become everyones new favorite. Because of the red and green this will definitely be a new addition to the holiday table.
I would have to say, that French Apple pie is my favorite holdiay treat.
Pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting.
Homemade pecae pie 🙂
I LOVE FUDGE!!! I make enough to freeze and then I can have a piece a day for many days to come!!!
My Mom makes a pumpkin cream cheese roll (actually several of them) for Thanksgiving. This is a relatively new addition to our Thanksgiving recipe arsenal, but a keeper! Oh, and my mother-in-law’s sausage stuffing is excellent too!
There is so much holiday food that I love that’s its had to pick just one. I guess if I had to pick one thing its the sugar cookies (Martha Stewart recipe) that are so rich but so delicious. I only make them at Christmas time cause I’m sure each one had about 500 calories in them. I also love using a cream cheese frosting on them.
So many! Since we moved I have become an avid baker thanks to your recipes! I love to make the lion house rolls. They are absolutely delish warm with a little butter and are also fantastic with turkey and cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving leftovers. It is the only time of the year I look forward to leftovers!
There is just something about yummy cinnamon rolls on Christmas momring. Mmmmm. I love the holidays….what is there not to love?
I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with cream cheese frosting for the Fall, and especially Halloween!
My favorite Thanksgiving foods are sweet potato casserole and good ‘ole pumpkin pie.
I live for pumpkin bread. I can’t tell you how many loaves/cakes/cupcakes I make in a year!
Oh goodness. I’m not sure I can choose just ONE!!! Tie between the Thanksgiving Day stuffing and the Christmas Day yorkshire pudding. And then, there’s all those pies. And Christmas cookies. And Christmas morning cinnamon rolls. Yum. *drool*
Mmmm, I love cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, I will go with that but it really isn’t easy to narrow it down.
Pecan Pie with loads of freshly whipped cream!
Pumpkin pie…oh and my Grandmother’s rolls…my 2 favorite Holiday foods ever!
The holidays remind me of cinnamon rolls and sugar cookies. I love your blog.
Pumpkin Bread. Yum, Yum, and Yum.
I’m with you Mel that I can’t decide on a favorite of all favorites. Definitely my fudge (that is the best!), and well then there is the toffee too, and my holiday cranberry salad, and , and, and!!!
My favorite is grandma’s yams with brown sugar….mmmmm, I can’t wait for Thanksgiving. Thank you for the great recipes we always enjoy from your site.
my favorite has to be Christmas..
Breakfast bread! A Christmas morning tradition!
Fresh cranberry sauce! YUM
I would have to say TURKEY!!! …and homemade rolls at Thanksgiving. Leftover turkey sandwiches, with a little bit of everything on them, are the best!
OH MY CUPCAKES! OMC! I have never even seen anything like this. I am new in this foodblogging, and I am hoping to go into my own food truck biz soon. I need a very serious surgery so will hold onto the nice positive future of food, and meeting so many wonderful people online, we all have food in common, and this makes for a very satisfying community of foodbloggers.
To the issue, I love all the holidays. I never take down my Christmas tree because when we are in hard times we have this beautiful reminder and sparkly lights to boost our spirits up, and our family and friends would be devastated if I removed it.
Green bean casserole, and a prime rib with all the trimmings. Also cornish hens with wild rice and mushroom stuffing. If it is pinon season we put some of them in. And last but not least dessert, homemade cheesecake, and lots of fun breads, and cookies. Yes indeedy would love to Bosch my holiday treats. Thanks and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! MAY THE PUMPKINS BE WITH YA ALL. KERBE
Would LOVE a Bosch!!!!! Hoping, hoping, hoping!!!
Hmm, just one, could be tough. But I love anything with pumpkin so pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are one of my favs.
Turkey! I love hot fresh turkey straight from the oven, but I think I love the left overs on sandwiches even more! I always look forward to lots and lots of leftover turkey 🙂
Favorite holiday food would have to be homemade rolls right out of the oven with real butter!!! Yummmm!!
I am always a huge fan on the corn casserole my mom makes on Thanksgiving. But of course pecan pie is my favorite!
Mmmmm….I’m going to have to go with monkey bread. Or my mom’s apple pie.
Orange Rolls–Light as air and spun with a bit of sweetened orange butter. Every time I make them, I promise myself I am going to make them more often, but before I know it, it’s Thanksgiving again!
Stuffing. Hands down. I like to change it up a little by adding chopped apples and pecans. But even plain jane stuffing is a can’t miss holiday food!
I love Thanksgiving. We have this yam sweet potato recipe that has this delish nut and brown sugar topping that is to die for!
Thanksgiving, hands down.
My mom always made curried fruit for me for Thanksgiving and Christmas, even though I was the only one who liked it!
I love biscuits and gravy Christmas morning.
Quick and easy sticky buns on Christmas morning. YUM!
My favorite thanksgiving treat is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
Stuffing! I look forward to it all year. (Why don’t I just make it at other times?!) So yummy. It is hard to decide though the holidays are filled with a never ending variety of delicious food!
Wow!! What a sweet giveaway. My favorite holiday food is curry on Christmas night. Weird tradition I know, but it is delicious. Also I love homemade crepes with peach sauce Christmas morning.
My sweet potato casserole.
My Mom’s Waldorf Red Cake with Buttercream Frosting, but more than the cake, I love being together with family for holidays and celebrations.
Oh … how do I choose? It would have to be my mom’s entire Christmas Turkey Dinner … wait, my favorite food … STUFFING. No, it would be pie. No, it would be the turkey and gravy. Aahhhh, ok – stuffing it is. Whew, that was hard! 🙂
I look forward to orange cranberry cookies every year!
love mashed potatoes on thanksgiving!
Melanie,
My favorite holiday is hard to pick because I love it all, but something I can never say no to is pumpkin brownies with white chocolate chips, oh yeah!
Oh it is so hard to choose but I would have to say anything pumpkin but pumpkin pie I could eat everyday!
Definitely stuffing. But not just any stuffing. My mother’s stuffing. I make it myself, and it’s good, but when she makes it, it’s MUCH better! Haven’t had hers in years now, but I can conjure up the taste pretty much any time!
My favorite holiday food? Do I have to choose? Pretty much anything with Pumpkin does me in.
I have a Bosch and I absolutely love it, but this would make one fantastic gift!!
Did you know that the average person puts on about 8-10 pounds over the holiday season? You realize this epidemic is in part due to people like you who are in love with food making machines! I have a confession to make…I am in love with all kinds of food making machines! Do they provide counseling for this type of addiction…
Halloween gets me every year. We have chili and cornbread to warm up before venturing out with the ghosts and goblins. Then we return home and need to warm up again with hot cocoa and donuts…and of course I need to examine my children’s candy and do a taste test to make sure it is suitable for them to partake ; )
My favorite would definitely be buttermilk pie!
Stuffing!!!!!
Homemade orange rolls are a Thanksgiving must!!
My favorite is my Great Grandma’s recipe for molasses crinkles…. or possibly my mom’s cream cheese pumpkin roll. mmmm!
I love roasted turkey and mashed potatoes. Especially for Thanksgiving. And again for Christmas if I can get away with it.
Okay so my chances of winning are pretty slim but I still got to try, my mom had a Bosch that I used when I was learning to bake and I loved it!! I would love to have one, can’t afford one!
My favorite holiday food is turkey, we usually only have it during the holiday season and I really love it, fresh on the day of, in turkey sandwhiches, turkey soup, yum!!!
Anything pumpkin. I just bought 14 cans of it at the grocery store today!!!!!!!!
For Sure Thanksgiving ever since i was about 7 i’ve slept at my Grandmothers and help her with the big feast. i love this Tradition and i hope to one day be able to to this with my own grandaughters. But not anytime soon my baby is only 1…..ha ha. my grandmother taught me how to make rolls so this is one of the many things we to together for thanksgiving dinner so this would be a fabulous win for me.
I love all foods Thanksgiving. Yum!!!
My favorite holiday food is probably homemade rolls. The smell of yeast dough rising and fresh baked rolls is one of my favorites.
You are so kind to do a Bosch giveaway. (Reading your blog has caused me to start saving up for one.)
Thank you and hooray for the beginning of the holiday season!
We have Prime Rib for Christmas every year!!
Your white velvet sugar cookies for valentines day have become a family tradition! YUM!
My favorite is pretty boring, just plain old fashioned herb stuffing!! With gravy please!!
It would have to be the crescent shaped dinner rolls I make for every special family dinner. Been making them for 30 years with my trusty Bosch. I couldn’t live without it either, but I’d sure love an update and I know my daughter-in-law would be happy to inherit mine. I’m an old cook but I love trying new things and your website is just the thing. Love it!
gotta go with the pumpkin cheesecake pie!
Hands down, has to be pumpkin cheesecake that I always make for Christmas. Who doesn’t love cheesecake?
I love caramel ANYTHING! Which recipes usually start showing up at Halloween and go all the way through New years!
Wow. I’m at a loss. Too many to narrow down! Ummm…how about peanut butter balls, fudge, cornbread stuffing with craisins, sausage and pecans, pecan and pumpkin pie, GINGERBREAD, garlic and green olive dip, orange rolls, the list goes on and on and on……this is making me excited for the holidays!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I change my mind daily, but right now I’m thinking my favorite is Thanksgiving/Christmas morning hoeur d’evours– while we’re smelling the wafts of juicy turkey cooking and waiting in anticipation. Some of my favorites would have to be pepper jelly on cream cheese served with crackers, or grandma’s homemade emerald green sweet pickles! YUM!
After the Thanksgiving or Christmas feast I also LOVE to eat my mom’s turkey rolls. The BEST way to use turkey leftovers– sometimes I just make them with chicken to have all year round. Turkey, mushrooms, herb cream cheese, rolled in crescent roll dough, rolled in butter, rolled in mashed stuffing mix and spices, rolled in nuts, and baked. Then.. as if that wasn’t decadent enough, serve it with cranberry sauce and a little gravy.. ahhhhh!!
My fav holiday food is egg nog with shortbread cookies.
So hard to pick, gotta be the pumpkin pie!
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Make them every year around halloween and Thanksgiving.
It has got to be Sweet Potatoe Casserole!! It is so beyond not healthy, but is a family favorite. I even double the topping because it is so good and if you’re going to do it, you might as well go all out!! I go to the Bosch store at least once a month just to drool over the mixers!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your recipes!! Thanks for making my food taste so good!!
I always look forward to my Mom’s yummy
Crab Ball on Christmas Day.
My sister -in-laws delicious orange rolls smothered in orange glaze. Wow, they are to die for. We ask her to make them almost every holiday in the fall and winter. I eat them til I can’t eat any more!
I love Thanksgiving foods!
My Mom’s Scottish Sausage Rolls every New Years Eve. Can’t Wait!
Mine is dinner in a pumpkin. Every October, I make this dish. Simply, clean out a pumpkin, remove seeds, and then fill with rice which has cream of mushroom soup, ground hamburger, water chestnuts, celery, and more. I can give you complete recipe if interested. It is fabulous, and you can eat the pumpkin meat like squash with it.
Pumpkin anything!!
mmmm 🙂
My favorite food is stuffed mushrooms we always have at Thanksgiving. I look forward to them and should make quadrauble the amount I usually do.
I love apple butterscoth bread
I love pumpkin crisp at Thanksgiving.
Cranberry salsa over cream cheese is one of my new favorites as well as our Christmas Eve traditional Beef Dip (deli beef, cream cheese, sour cream, etc.)
My favorite holiday is Christmas my granddaughter and I always work together making cookies for gifts and family gatherings. My favorite food for Christmas has to be my homemade stuffing. My granddaughter loves pumpkin pie and could eat a whole one by herself.
Home made Christmas candy, especially my mother in laws or my grandmothers’ fudge with walnuts – both are irresistible!
Pumpkin cookies, hands down! (or pumpkin brownies…. pretty much, anything pumpkin!!)
My favorite holiday food is definitely my mom’s Christmas fudge {which would be so much easier to make with this Bosch!!! I seriously have been trying to figure out a way to afford one so I don’t have to mix the fudge by hand with a wooden spoon anymore. So. Difficult.}.
I definitely have my fingers and toes crossed for this one! Thank you for the chance!
I think my favorite would have to be Baklava!
Thanksgiving Dinner! Turkey, mashed potatoes, bread and of course dessert!
I love Tomales for Christmas Eve. Something about it just works so well.
My favorite holiday food is Eggs Golden Rod… It is a creamy white sauce with diced up hard-boiled eggs mixed in served over hot toast! We eat this every Easter and Christmas morning! Only half of us have been able to keep the tradition alive with our own families now and I am one of the lucky ones whose family loves it too 🙂
Pick me! Pick me!! 🙂 Anything with pumpkin…pumpkin bars, pumpkin roll, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie. You get my drift… 🙂
Homemade whole wheat bread…it makes any day like a holiday but especially good on Halloween night with soup!
I would have to see my Granny’s sweet potatoe pie! OMG it is so good! I can’t duplicate the recipe, and believe me, I have tried.
I LOVE anything with pumpkin in it – pumpkin rolls, cookies, cheesecake – ANYTHING!
I love all things pumpkin: cookies, bread, muffins, cake….
Mmmmm…so many to choose from. My family makes a to die for corn casserole…stuffed with sweet corn and gooey jack cheese goodness. It’s Holiday heaven!
I LOVE anything Pumpking. I also LOVE sweet potato anything- casserole, pie, salad. You name it, I love it.
Ok, this may seem lame.. but I seriously love homemade mashed potatoes with the yummy turkey gravy. Rarely do we have mashed potatoes because it takes too long with some real homemade gravy (no packets!)
So hard for me to pick which is my favorite! However, I will go with my favorite Christmas cookie my family makes every year……Kolachkies!
There are a lot of different variations for these cookies but I have yet to taste one that is better than my families receipe. It has been handed down for generation to generation.
So many choices. I love stuffing and my Mom’s Rolls at Thanksgiving and Fudge…lots of fudge at Christmas. Yum. I can’t wait!
My favorite holiday food is the Buttermilk Scones with honey butter I make on Christmas morning.
My favorite holiday food is fresh homemade rolls. Warm homemade rolls with homemade honey butter or cran-raspberry butter can make any day seem like a holiday!
My favorite would have to be the hand rolled raviolis I make for Christmas Eve dinner. Oh, and the Harvest Pear Salad we have with it!
The pumpkin pie (read: vehicle with which to put whipped cream in my pie hole) that comes with Thanksgiving. 🙂
Homemade donuts on Halloween night — handed out to all the neighbors and their children.
My family is Norwegian and we would always have Lefsa at Christmas time! My Mom has a bosch and made so many great things in it when I was growing up. I’d like to think I would be a better cook/baker like she is if I had one. One could wish anyway. 🙂
Homemade chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving! And all the sweet yummies for Christmas. Cinnamon rolls, caramels, fudge! I love holidays!!!! I love Bosch! Pick me pick me!!
I totally go ga-ga for thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce. My absolute favorite thing is to make a turkey, cranberry (with a little mayo) sandwich the next day after thanksgiving. Sometimes, I even make an extra turkey just to have more sandwich meat!
My favorite holiday food is definitely anything warm and gooey. For some reason i let myself eat things all winter long that i try to steer away from the rest of the year; pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, stuffing, brownies, rolls, etc. bring them on.
Christmas and anything chocolate!!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
My grandmas famous stuffing!! YUM! YUm!
My moms rolls!! What would the holidays be without them :)!
Most Definitely Stuffing.
Pumpkin pie.
Butternut squash and apple soup.
Rice pudding.
Oh I love holiday food!
any thing pumpkiny ( is that a word?)
Probably upside down pumpkin cake!!
The assortment of Christmas cookies waiting for us when we arrive at my parents house. Snickerdoodles, pizzelles, chocolate chip… oh Christmas, hurry up and get here!
My grandmas cheeseball recipe tops the list!!!
I was having a hard time deciding, until I thought about my Grandmother’s Banana Cream Pie. No other pie (banana cream or otherwise) can compare. Thanksgiving isn’t complete without it.
Grilling on the 4th of July, mouth watering, fall off the bone Ribs.
My favorite Xmas cookies would have to be Cane Cookies. I love them frozen.
Stuffing at Thanksgiving…..YUMMY!!
Yammy apples of course!
Definitely mashed potatoes! With lots of gravy.
Creamies! I’m not sure of the real name that’s just what we call them. Little creamy candies with a walnut on top!
Oh wow! I am so excited!! Gotta love a yummy pumpkin roll anytime during the Holidays! Ok, maybe more than one time.
I have to go with candied yams. I only eat them once a year at Thanksgiving because I allow myself to splurge on such a decadent side like that on Thanksgiving!
Ahhh at Thanksgiving I love Sweet Potatoes! Any style!
Pumpkin bread!! Oh and something that isn’t technically “homemade” – Peppermint Bark from Costco – heaven!
I love pumpkin pie and I love this pretzel, raspberry dessert thing…it’s amazing. Thanks for the chance to win a bosch!
My favorite Holiday Dish is Warm Pumpkin bars with Cinamon Struessel
This is a SERIOUSLY fabulous giveaway !!! WOW !!! I would trade my brother’s bike for this if someone would distract him for me! (grin) I cannot help but bake at least 24 dozen cookies at Christmas – seems like every family member has their favorite that they absolutely MUST have or it isn’t christmas for them. This little beauty would definitely lighten my task of holiday baking love!! Keeping my fingers crossed that Lady Luck is with me on this. Again – WOW – and thank you for your generosity! LOVE YOUR BLOG!
Christmas… all the yummy sweets!
stuffing and gravy all the way!!
Having a slice of my mom’s pumpkin pie for breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving!
Forgot to say that my favorite food is all of your recipes that my wife turns into diabetic friendly ones…they have all turned out great!
Cornbread dressing and pumpkin pie! I only get these twice a year and oh how I yearn, the other 363 days!
So excited for this giveaway! My favorite holiday food, gosh, I love them all! But if I had to pick one it would be my Grandma Stott’s pound cake and berry trifle that we have every Christmas Eve…delish!
Pumpkin pie and rolls…love the fall!
Well………….it simply would not be Thanksgiving without Berry Pretzel Jello!!! YUMMMY!
Hands down, Stuffing! But not any stuffing, just my Grandmothers recipe. Yum, yum!
Pumpkin Pie hands down!
I will save the children but the hubby better save the photos and my bosch. My mom has wanted on forever so if I win I would love to give it to her for her birthday…she is one of those tragic people with birthdays near Christmas and this could make things right…hehe! I just made your deep dark brownies and 1/3 of the pan is now in my belly (forever)…or until I do those 3 extra hours of cardio I keep saying I will…hehe!
It might sound wierd but it is not Christmas Eve without coke jello. I also loves my moms rolls for thanksgiving.
Grammies yams!
my Grandma’s famous rolls at thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday — now to choose between pumpkin pie and stuffing — I just can’t choose one over the other!
Probably my grandma’s hot rolls.
Wow, what a toss-up! Let’s go with a good ol’ classic pumpkin pie…with whip cream, of course. I think I can speak for every reader of your blog by saying “we heart you too!”.
My favorite treat for Christmas is pink divinity with nuts.
Homemade rolls! Yummy!
I would have to say that my favorite is banana cream pie after a great turkey dinner!
Sweet Potatoe Casserole is certainly a favorite! Yum
My new favorite is sweet potato casserole!
Thanksgiving- My Mother-In-Law’s yeast rolls are heaven.
My favorite holiday food has to be stollen! A Bosch mixer would certainly make my stollen baking easier. 🙂
Pumpkin Gingerbread trifle-could life get ANY better???
I love homemade pies on Thanksgiving…along with all of the other yummy foods =)
My new favorite is an Italian twist on Thanksgiving! Turkey Cranberry Ravioli served with a Sage cream sauce! They are awesome!!!
My very favorite are the Cardamom rolls that are part of our Christmas eve smörgåsbord. I crave them all year long. I have yet to master the art of making them but maybe a Bosch would help with that 🙂
Definitely would be cranberry relish. Yum!
The peanut butter balls we make every Christmas. They are always a big hit.
Dinner in a pumpkin, yams with marshmallows, and sugar cookies!!
pumpkin cookies and pumpkin milkshakes.
Green Bean Casserole, My Father-in-law’s fried turkey, and my great grandma’s carmels…Yummers!
Holy smokes, I want a Bosch!!
I love my mom’s carmels at Christmas. And baked carrots at Thanksgiving. And homemade bread made with a Bosch any day of the week!
I love food, so to narrow it down to one thing is hard! I love spiral ham (your crock-pot recipe!) at Easter and Christmas. I love all kinds of pie and homemade rolls. I also love frosted sugar cookies at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter!
I woke up this morning dreaming about a nice thick slice of cranberry-pumpkin bread, all slathered with butter.
My fave holiday food has to be rolls!! They go with every holiday feast and make me happy!!
Halloween Chili and Cornbread! It’s a family tradition- and much better than those ol’ Thanksgiving Turkeys and Christmas Hams.
Green bean casserole and my father-in-laws fried turkey! Yummers!
I love stuffing at Thanksgiving! Specifically my mother in law’s stuffing, but we have pretty much figured out her recipe and can make our own. It is very simple…white bread, butter, stock, onions, celery and eggs. But oh so yummy! I also LOVE love love LOVE any kind of bread so this Bosch would be great for homemade rolls and bread!!
I would definitely have to say buttermilk biscuits
The day after Thanksgiving we go Christmas tree hunting and have raspberry cinnamon rolls for breakfast that morning.
Fried turkey!
My favorite would definitely be fresh homemade buns…especially the next day with left over turkey!!
It’s the stuffing and Caramel pull-a-parts!
I love warm Pani Po Po on a cold Christmas morning. Ultimate comfort food
Eggnog. I would drink that stuff all year long if I could.
Love the foods associated with Thanksgiving(gonna be making your 2-hr turkey this year!)-but even more the pecan pie that I make every year as one of the desserts-my husband and my dad’s favorite pie!
Peanut butter pie with pretzel crust – Yum!
My great aunt makes a wonderful 10 layer cake every Christmas and I always look forward to eating more than 1 slice of it! Thanks for the chance in an awesome giveaway!
my favorite holiday food would definitely be Thanksgiving mashed potatoes with gravy. But I also love all the desserts and treats from Christmas time. Party mixes, cheese balls, cookies…….mmmmm I love holiday food!
I don’t know if I can pick just one, but one of my favorites would have to be these Mini Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecakes. I crave them all year long and can’t wait until Thanksgiving so I can have an excuse to make them!
http://bezzants.blogspot.com/2008/11/mini-pumpkin-turtle-cheesecakes.html
Pecan pie. Despised it without even trying it as a kid. It is now my favorite dessert.
I love to make Chocolate Covered Peanut Clusters for my family at Christmas!
I love anything pumpkin!
Wowza! What a giveaway! My favorite holiday food is a dish called Onion Shortbread…it’s a family recipe that we only make on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. It wouldn’t be a holiday without it!! It’s similar to a corn pudding – soft cornbread like texture with corn and cheese mixed in, but then it’s topped with a mixture of sauteed red onions, butter, dill and sour cream then baked and topped with extra cheddar cheese. I’m telling you, it’s the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth!!
Oh my goodness. I would adore one of these. With it, I would eternally make these rolls: http://placetobloom.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-favorite-rolls.html
Or maybe I wouldn’t…I’m not sure my waistline would ever forgive me.
Thanks a million!
Oooo, pick me pick me. I’ve wanted one for soooo long!! My favorite holiday food is fudge. And there are so many variations and ways of making different flavors. Yum!
