ReplyDeleteHow fun! My mom makes these wonderful Spanish cookies called mantecadas. Thank goodness for the Spanish name, because when we translate it to English we call them by their main ingredient: lard cookies. Not quite as appealing in sound, but trust me -they're delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday food tradition is making my great grandma's fudge. ahermann (at) iupui (dot) edu
ReplyDeleteIced gingerbread cookies! abraunlich (@) yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOh this is awesome - a new-to-Indy transplant thanks you for the head's up!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about a (vegetarian) stove-top stuffing with a little bit of maple syrup tossed in! barksph@gmail.com
My late grandma's noodles! So doughy and thick! Rigsby1029@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy family always make many a batch of pizzlles around this time which I always look forward to.
ReplyDeleteFrench cherry cookies. A remarkably good fellow gave them as a gift... and later shared his family recipe. thankins @ gmail
ReplyDeleteMy Wife side of the family has had big Christmas Eve parties every year for a long time and the tradition was passed on to us last few years. One of the best things that gets made each year is Asiago Potatoes. It is little red potatoes and they have a scoop taken out of them and filled with this cheesy goodness and then baked. They go so fast each year but so so good.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fun event to go to with my wife before the holiday madness starts & celebrate our 5yr wedding anniversary early.

hmmm. Portuguese stuffing with chorizo, or baklava...or classic green bean casserole...or fresh yummy yeast rolls...hmmm. it's hard to narrow down!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to our secret family raspberry tarts, my great-grandmother taught my grandmother who taught my mother who taught me. It is a hard recipe to get perfectly, and I am still working on it!
ReplyDeleteKey Lime Pie for Thanksgiving! Sometimes a sour, light pie is more satisfying than pumpkin and pecan.
ReplyDeleteMy husband always makes fudge and I love making different Brie en Croutes!
ReplyDeleteI love mashed potatoes of all kinds, and I make sure to make plenty for the next day binge as well!
ReplyDeleteI always get together with my grandmother, mother and aunts to make noodles to mix with gravy and put over turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. It is a lot of work but doing it with family makes it so much easier. erdowell14@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt's so simple and not even a recipe, but one of my favorite holiday food traditions is snacking on shrimp cocktail- yum!!
ReplyDeletewindihornsby@gmail.com
Oh my goodness, I have two. One is making my grandpa's dressing every year. This year we're switching it up and trying it with cornbread! Second is spending the day after Thanksgiving celebrating my husband's Greek heritage and making sagniaki, baklava, and a bunch of other Greek food while drinking Greek wine...most of the time :).

ReplyDeleteNo question, my favorite holiday meal is a vegetarian soy 'roast' with mushroom veggie gravy. Add Brussels Sprouts and mashed potatoes and I am set.

ReplyDeleteThe women from my husband's side of the family all get together to make pierogis for Orthodox Christmas in January. One of the many great traditions I got with my marriage!

I always look forward to THAT sandwich about 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving evening. You know: the one with turkey, a bit of dressing, a smidge of cranberry relish all smooshed together on plain old sandwich bread. Yum. The festivities are over, the dishes washed, you finally can think of food again but want it all on something that you can eat over the sink.... Happy Thanksgiving! - Jessica (jsturner400@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to baking cookies with my Mom and sister every year. We try new recipes, and new ways of decorating them in festive ways. The classic chocolate chip cookies are always the first to be devoured though (sometimes, fresh from the oven).

We always make my grandma's corn soufflé and I make four pies (never more, never less) with her secret pie crust recipe. She was a very German grandma who didn't believe in moderation when baked goods were involved. Her crust recipe was written for four pie crusts and to this day, I've never been able to half it without having terrible results. My grandma has been gone for seven years, but she is still very much a part of our family's holidays. LMGilbert10@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy Dad's caviar dip. A base of chopped hard boiled eggs and mayo, "iced" with sour cream and topped w caviar. Probably forgetting a key ingredient but it gets demolished as soon as it's set out. Tweet @Primo55
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday food tradition is eating my family's recipie for meatballs and stuffed shells, along with your typical thanksgiving/Christmas eve fare. Algorecon2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWe always had the tradition of having Lasagna on Christmas Eve. It was easy to clean up so the kids could open their "Non-Santa" gifts. rwestover818@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite food for holidays is homemade bread. I also love stuffing but I'm the only one who does, so we rarely have it! lkehoe2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother, who passed away 4 years ago, was an amazing cook. I love that we all now try to recreate her dishes at Thanksgiving and Christmas :) carlygrennes at gmail . com
ReplyDeleteMy grandma's mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. I can't seem to recreate them! mallory.bryan@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSnicker doodles! Best Christmas cookies ever.

Cranberry sauce! Even the kind in the can. BrittanyLuebke at gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love making a pumpkin cheesecake, or another fun dessert. I also really, really like mashed potatoes. joannerkehoe at gmail
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for offering this giveaway, Erin! This is cool. As for favorite holiday dishes? I honestly love the spritz cookies that my mom makes. They're small German cookies made using a press, and the ingredients are quite simple, really. But they're flaky and buttery and addictive, and they always remind me of my mom and helping her make them when I was a kid. That was something we always did together--decorate cookies and decorate the house. :) Thanks again!

Our family likes to bring special things things from where they live. Debrands chocolates from Fort Wayne, skyline chili from Cincinnati, Noble coffee from Noblesville etc. I like to make homeade cinnamon rolls with my Mom and homeade granola (recipe from Eleven Madison Park) to give to friends and family for Christmas.

"The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone! All gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey hash! Turkey a la king! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone! All gone!"

You are the winner Kimberly!
DeleteAll the Christmas cookies! Specifically, almond roca, which I am the maker in our family. My mom has tried multiple times but it never works for her, so I am relegated to almond roca maker. And I LOVE IT so much, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started dating my husband I noticed during the holidays there was always a large pot on the stove blurping away all day and through the night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to dinner to enjoy this home made chicken broth that is served with home made tortellinis.Now our family spends an evening making our own pasta that we fill with pork and beef we grind at home as well as a few other ingredients. The broth, ingredients can vary i.e. chicken feet, beef bones, stewing hen, turkey wing tips, carrots and onions, is so flavorful and makes the house smell wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great family tradition.
