Tiramisu......with lots of Mascarpone, espresso, rum and coffee liqueur.... have no idea about calories on it, I can mostly do with just a small serving but friends love it. So I make double and leave it at their house.....

Eggnog pumpkin pie
Caramel pecan pie
Do you see a trend here?? lol
sound yummy....would you share recipes for all or at least top 2 ??????0 -
besides desserts and bread.... my baked mac n cheese. Its so bad and so good, we moved it to a separate day around the holiday meals so it could be the main focus. its about 1000 cals per serving though.
so I will prob have to healthify it this year, or skip it. since the holidays ALWAYS put 20 + lbs on me...EVER YEAR that then I spend the next YEAR losing. To many family's houses and friends with separate celebrations and bdays in December and jan to boot. Plus annev in nov. its a hot food mess.0 -

I am the goddess of "Chocolate Mousse Pie To Die For".....
Graham cracker crust
Creamy peanut butter smeared on the crust
Melted chocolate on the bottom layer
Chocolate pudding, chocolate shavings, and marshmallows - whipped - for the filling
Chocolate chunks on top of the pie... and voila!!!
It's super easy and divine..... and each slice has zero calories... assuming you don't put any of it in your mouth. HEH!

Not this past Thanksgiving I made some of the most amazing mashed potatoes ever. There were none left. You premake them the day before, then the day of, you bake them. O-M-G. Everyone was raving about them. I also make a stellar broccoli casserole. I can't wait for Thanksgiving this year! I'm moving into a new house next week and cannot WAIT to utilize my big kitchen!!
Will you share the mashed potato recipe?0 -
A killer Portuguese stuffing recipe from hell (it's beyond yummy!), the world's best pumpkin roll, and I've figured out how to make some incredible chocolates and fudge. My female friends hate me but their husbands love me during the holidays:devil:0

Our family is recipe is called Cranberry Yum-Yum. It's fresh cranberries and apples with marshmallow, cool whip and sugar. Yummy I have been eating since I could chew.0

I do a ton of cooking over the holidays-huge meals, desserts, treats etc.
It is a holiday requirement though that I always make pumpkin rolls and Green bean Bacon Wraps for any meal that I make or attend It's long stem canned Green Beans (like 3-4) wrapped in half a slice of bacon. Line up as many as you can fit on a cookie sheet. Melt a stick of butter, stir in a cup of brown sugar and a tsp of garlic powder. Pour that over the Beans and then bake around 400 until they start to get crispy. Soooooo good. 0 -
Trifle is top secret. (it's my mom's recipe...she'd cut me)For Thanksgiving, it would be green bean casserole, mushroom bread stuffing, roasted garlic and parmersan whipped potatoes, and pumpkin mousse pie. Oh, I also make a killer pumpkin cheesecake trifle that literally takes five minutes to put together.
For Christmas, the first three Thanksgiving recipes, cherry apple pie, sugar cookie cutouts (with sanding sugar only), white chocolate chip chocolate cookies, mint fudge cookie balls, marbled peppermint bark, and a chocalate cheesecake trifle.
There's more, but I'm getting hungry just listing this stuff. And yes, every single item mentioned is asked for each year. My family is a bunch of greedy SOBs.
Please share your white choc chip chocolate cookie recipe and the trifle!
Buuuuuuuuttt the cookie recipe (which is far superior anyways) is from the back of the Nestle Tollhouse White baking chips bag.0 -

Usually one package of bacon per 2-3 cans of green beans. It just depends on many beans you put in each wrap. Usually we use several packages of bacon and my SIL now cans whole green beans for me to use. We try to get as many on a cookie sheet as possible-but try to keep it to two cookie sheets of wraps. No matter how many we make per cookie sheet I just stick to the 1/2 cup butter, cup of brown sugar and tsp of garlic powder per cookie sheet. I hope that make sense. Oh and I just cut the entire package of bacon in half before I even open it. My kids love helping wrap them too--I guess because everyone loves them so much and the kids want some of the credit lol!0 -
Well I'm the baker of the family. So it depends on what type of Christmas meal we are planning. That determines what type of desserts I make. I always make at least 2 pies to go with the other desserts. My cheesecakes as well as tortes are favorites among my children and family.0

I make a mean chicken pot pie from scratch... but idk the recipe, I just play it by ear.
Also, my buffalo wings drive people crazy because I like it with an extra kick instead of focusing on the buttery flavor0 -
This: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/old-fashioned-paradise-pumpkin-pie/
Everyone loves it and always asks for it.
It's got a cheesecake layer, then a pumpkin custard layer, and a pecan streusel on top.
oh my god, that looks amazeballs. i'm totally making that some day.
every christmas i make these little tarts that have a ginger snap base, a whipped pumpkin custard-type filling, and candied cranberries on top. i might have to forego those this year though and try that paradise pumpkin pie recipe...0 -
I make insanely delicious apple pie and sweet potato pie, amazing baked man n cheese, and super yummy stuffing.
Year round I make hot spinach artichoke dip. It's divine and requested at every potluck. My mouth is watering thinking about it. 0 -
I bake cookies for everyone in the family... some of the standards like chocolate chip cookies & oatmeal raisin but I have specialties like chapel windows, date nut balls, peanut butter balls. I try to accomodate everyone's favorite but I change it up every year because I like trying new things and I bake a lot. The cookie boxes I gave out last year had 20 different types of cookies in them. (I start early and freeze them).
Can I be in your family, P u H leeeseee:flowerforyou:0 -

Every year I make Nigella's coca cola ham - so so good and there would be a mutiny if I didn't bake a ham.
http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/ham-in-coca-cola-171 - except my ham is at least twice that size :happy:
I also make my grandma's trifle - I daren't even being to think how many calories are in this :noway:0 -
Between my mom and I, we have homemade pecan pie, 7-layer jello salad, sausage balls (she makes those as I don't like them) and microwave fudge!0
