My friend Cupcake Julie had her Christmas party this past weekend.
You may remember her gorgeous sugar-themed decorations.
Stuff like this.
(Here’s the post from last year if you want to see visions of sugar plums dancing in your head for the next few days. Make sure you check out the kids play bakery, too. It’s incredible.)
It’s hard to imagine, but this year was even more beautiful than last.
Colonel Cupcake was there again this year.
And so was this guy.
And this one.
And this little one. These guys were all over the place.
You may also remember seeing them from the Toronto Book Signing Post.
Teatro Verde is the only store I’ve actually seen them sold in. It made me happy to see them on display.
Anyway, I love ’em. So festive and sweet.
As a surprise for Julie, I made a few cake pops inspired by them to bring to the party.
Wanna see?
Cupcake Nutcracker guys.
She squealed. I smiled.
They’re double decker cake pops, too. Tricky and a little over the top, but I couldn’t resist.
I also made some Christmas Tree cake pops.
Much easier. But instead of doing them in green, I kept them in her holiday color scheme.
I really like them like this.
Speaking of trees, Julie’s party decorations this year also included two new ones.
This cheerful pink one covered in snowmen.
And this whimsical upside down tree.
Amazing, huh.
But that’s Julie.
Here’s her dessert table. Filled with tons of treats.
Cookies and candy.
Cake Pops, of course.
Mini cupcakes from Crumb in New York.
Macarons and much, much more.
Completely lovely. I wish you could have been there with me.
But since you weren’t … how about a couple of cute guys to keep you company?
I just so happen to know of two that are about ten inches tall.
I thought I’d part with these to share them with one of you.

Honey Baked Ham! … er, that might actually be considered sweet, though..
My Uncle makes the most amazing rib roast for Christmas Dinner. It is a Ming Tsai recipe that I look forward to eating once a year! it is so good.
First, let me say that I am IN LOVE with those sweet soldiers!
This time of year it is all about the sweets for me (well, let’s get real – anytime of the year is a good time for sweets, but it kicks into high gear in December). Non-sweet stuff would have to be a Christmas dinner with ham, glazed carrots, the works!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is Prime Rib with au jus. My sister in law slow cooks it all day, makes the au jus from scratch…it’s heavenly. I make gralic mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, yeast rolls, and whatever else we’re in the mood for. Love Christmas dinner.
We eat lots of tamales!! Cheese & Green Chilli are the very best!!
Favorite Christmas snack – Chex Mix, but you have to burn it! Cheers to holiday snacking! YUM!
We have begun doing some different things for Christmas. Last year was my favorite – lobster!
Those nutcracker men are so cute!!
I love sourcream rolls at Christmas… and Thanksgiving…. and any other time I can have an excuse to make them! :)
I love fried turkey, and Rhodes rolls…taste just like homemade, but frees me up to make the sweet stuff instead! :)
I love eating my aunt’s stuffing! It’s not Christmas without it! She is awesome! Yummy! Merry Christmas!! Thank you for your wonderful blog!
My grandmother makes a spiced Japanese root dish called gobo and homemade mochi (rice cakes). I can’t wait to go back to the midwest and enjoy some with my family!
Stuffing. and gravy, my go to 2nd helping item all the time. And chocolate of course.
abuelita’s tamalesssss. mmmmm they’re delish! and with the extra dough we usually make brown sugar and raisin ones that is dipped in condensed milk for dessert.
Czech potato dumplings hands down!
I love to eat lasagna on Christmas. We have several place to go to throughout the holiday, and I like to keep it simple with the cooking. It is easy to make the dish ahead of time, and just bake that day! Yummo!
It is the simplest thing, but I love mashed potatoes and gravy. Just give me that for Christmas dinner.
Sprial Ham!! Hands down the most fabulous thing….funny we don’t typically buy it thruout the year so….I can hardly wait for Christmas….
So Fun! That party looked great!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I eat what ever my wife makes that day! Not a lot of cooking coming from me, but I’m always happy to clean up.
Ham and mashed potatoes. Yum!
Merry Christmas!
My favorite Christmas food is ham. I love the brown sugar and mustard crust on it and I love snacking on it after we’ve had dinner and on through the next day!
turkey!!! i dont know why we only eat it at holidays
I love a delicious glazed ham for Christmas!! Put some Au Gratin potatoes on the side and life is complete!
Lasagna. It has become our new tradition. It’s easy to bake and clean up!!!
Summer sausage and cheese! Yummy Yum!
Fresh fruit salad. I love it, I Love it, I LOVE IT!!! I eat about 4 giant bowls of it. My mom and I make it together, it’s a lot of work but worth it.
I love the sides— simple homemade mashed potatoes and mac n’ cheese! :)
Our family fav appetizer sausage balls-little biscuits with sausage and cheese.
Growing up, we had the same Christmas dinner every year. Even though we now try new things each year, I will forever dream about the gnocchi with braciole and sausage. And the clams casino appetizer. Yum!
Smokies in BBQ sauce. I love them and we only do them on holidays!
Prime rib and the garlic roasted mashed potatoes… and I can’t wait to inhale it!!
Happy Holidays!
Monkey Bread. If I don’t have it, no one is getting a present!!!!!
We always have prime rib, steamed broccoli, and mashed
potatoes with gravy. Yum!
My cousin makes scalloped potatos to bring to my potluck every year when we live near them. We moved this year so I’m missing the family and the potatos. I did get a recipe for savory pull apart rolls similar to what her hubby makes, so I have those.
I made a pot roast for a holiday party this past weekend and it definitely put us all in the holiday mood!
My great aunt’s ham with pineapple sauce and beautiful purple horseradish. It’s beautiful to see on a plate, but even better to taste in your mouth!
Happy Christmas :)
I love twice baked potatoes.
On Christmas Eve I love seafood lasagna (Paula Deen’s recipe). On Christmas, it’s ham and this year my mother in law is making her awesome homemade scalloped potatoes! Yummy!
My favorite and only constant on Christmas is our breaksfast caserole, we make it the night before when we return from church, it has bread, eggs, cheese, sausage, and few spices. It is so easy to make and then it bakes while we open presents in the morning.
OMG, it’s like a sweet dream land. How I wish I was there just to see all that in person. I love to eat everything on xmas :)
Smoked turkey is the best holiday treat!
I absolutely love honey cured, spiral sliced ham!
My fave thing to eat on Christmas would have to be homemade tamales!!!~
And I think I would have to keep these guys in my kitchen allllll year long:)
MAY YOU PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL ON THE Cupcake Nutcracker
I love praline topped sweet potato casserole, but I won’t say no to the one with marshmallows on top either!!! These are probably the cutest soldier decorations I have ever seen!
i love marshmallows/s’mores. we’ll be on a ranch this year for christmas, so we’ll have plenty to share!!!
We don’t normally have a traditional Christmas dinner. We may have some delicous seafood chowder with homemade crusty bread.
Ham and macaroni and cheese!
I love to eat tamales on x-mas. Especially when you wait in line to get the best ingredients and come home to start making them, to see the family face and of your friends to is the most wonderful thing you can ever ask for .
Thank you for posting all of this delicious, beautiful sweetness!!
My favorite non sweet would have to be prime rib and Yorkshire pudding ….yum!!
Thanks for the chance! I gave your cookbook as gifts this year. So much fun!
Summer sausage and stuffing (not together!).
I love party potatoes! Also called campfire potatoes or boy scout potatoes. It’s a delish mix of hashbrowns, a (un)healthy amount of cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, onion and crushed potato chips. Heavenly!
I really look forward to tamales and honey glazed ham!
my dad collects toy soldiers of all types! this would be a great addition to his collection.
Potatoe pancakes on christmas morning :)
and all the seafood we eat on christmas eve! particularily the slamon pot pie
Yummm…every Christmas breakfast we have sausage strata. And we only ever get it on Christmas day. It is the most delicious thing!
My grandmother’s Chicken and Dumplings!!
We always have lots of snack food on Christmas day! We have yummy spinach and artichoke dip that would be my favorite!
oh my..what a fabulous looking party!!
My favorite treat at Christmas is candy canes!!!
My favorite food to eat at Christmas is my Turnip puff! It is savory sweet and so yummy.
For Christmas dinner we have French Dip Sandwiches – the only time we have them all year, along different salads. It’s simple and oh so yummy in my tummy!
How cute! I want my whole house decorated like that! :)
My favorite thing to make is green bean casserole from scratch–making my own cream of mushroom soup makes it so tasty! I also love to make a rosemary white bean hummus of sorts, super yummy on veggies!
Swedish meatballs, lingonberries, green peas and egg noodles. It reminds me of my Swedish great-grandmother and my kids love making the meatballs with me.
My mom’s veggie casserole. Super yummy!
I love mashed potatoes and butter! I’m not a gravy gal. ;)
I love a nice baked ham with homemade rolls. Delish!
Christmas wouldn’t be the same without homemade tamales!!!
My favorite non-dessert Christmas dish is my mother’s dressing with some cranberry sauce. Yumm!
Non-sugar christmas food: orange/cinnamon glazed ham. One year we did a “baked potatoe bar” and my hubby and I baked 55 baking potatoes (in 3 ovens) and all his family (10 siblings/families) brought potoate toppings. This year is going to be “soup for all” and everyone is bringing soups!!
Merry Christmas and PICK ME!!!!! LOL
My favorite thing to eat is all of the cookies. I love ladylocks, pizelles and thumbprints (with icing) the best.
I love to eat yorkshire puddings with stuffing balls inside!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite Christmas treats is my moms crab dip!
I love cheesy scalloped potatoes!! Yum!
Always Waffles for breakfast on Christmas, topped with ice cream of course.
I was so excited I forgot to tell you my favorite Christmas food. Well it is a toss up between my grandmother’s english trifle recipe or my husband’s wonderful stuffing….luckily there is plenty of each!!
For the past few years we have celebrated Christmas with a lovely Prime Rib roast with creamy horseraddish sauce and we will be doing it again this year. Cannot decide whether to have roasted garloc mashed potatoes or PW’s crash hot potatoes but either way it will be a fantastic dinner shared with family!
I love having a great Honey Baked Ham with “funeral” potatoes for Christmas dinner … and there’s nothing like great homemade rolls with lots of real butter!!!
I’ve never seen these sweet little nutcrackers! They’re adorable! My favorite on Christmas is ham with a brown sugar glaze. But not too much glaze, just enough for a touch of sweetness. And mashed potatoes aren’t far behind!
i love the turkey and the fixings.. all the appetizers.. yum!
Turkey! And everything that goes with it. It is Thanksgiving all over again, but better!
Yay Nutcrackers!!! I just started collecting them two years ago, and love them so much I even left a few up all year long. I must make some giant ones for outside my house too. They look fabulicious!!
Ohhh, I wish I could have been at Juilie’s party too. What a great friend she must be. (note to self: find a friend who makes sweets).
Cauliflower casserole has to be my favorite…smooth, creamy sauce over delicious cauliflower.
My mom always wanted to do something other than turkey for Christmas, but I would have none of that as a kid. It had to be turkey. Now I’m with her…we have prime rib…that’s our new tradition. Traditions have to start somewhere, right?
My favorite ‘real’ food to eat around Christmas is hands-down homemade pizza! It’s a Christmas Eve tradition since I was a young child. But I have to say that lately we’ve been making a lot of soups. Homemade chicken noodle (with handmade noodles of course!)
Merry Christmas Bakerella! May all your dreams be sweet!
turkey and dressing or hot yeast rolls or mashed potatoes!!! I love it all
This year I am making a rib eye roast and hasselback potatoes, I can’ t wait!
I like salty snacky things like chex mix! My husband makes a great homemade batch :]
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas day is my mom’s hen dressing. It is soooo much better than turkey dressing. I have to have jiblet(sp) gravy to go on it also…YUMMMM.
My favorite thing is pretty simple….real mashed potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. Pretty straight forward, but it’s my favorite part of the holiday. My family always jokes they better start the potatoes at the opposite end of the table from me, so that everyone gets some before they get around to me. Mashed Potatoes are my ideal comfort food!
i love a deep fried turkey with cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, YUM!
OOps, forgot to add what I like to eat. My favorite is what we call Christmas Tortellini. I make it with chunks of ham and peas in a white bechamel sauce. Very fattening and that’s why I only make it on Christmas Eve, lol!!! The entire dish is gone every year…no leftovers.
My favorite is baked ham and homemade hot rolls. YUM!!!
My mother’s delicious chicken and sausage gumbo accompanied by her mother’s potato salad recipe. Anything else is just a little lagniappe….
Anything, really! I give myself no limitations for about 2 weeks.
Beef tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes! Have a great Christmas!
Love that decor! I have cupcakes all through my dining/kitchen so these would be perfect. ;-)
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas would be ham. We get the ham from Costco, its so easy to bake and it comes with the sauce to add to it. Delicious!!
My aunt and uncle make the best BBQ meatballs! They are a staple of our Christmas Eve get-together!
Early Christmas morning after unwrapping our presents we load up the kids and go to in-laws, eat country ham and biscuits and open a gazillion more presents.
My always have Sirloin tip roast, and a baked potato bar. Which everyone really enjoys.
My favorite thing is my aunt’s mashed potatoes. They are seasoned with only salt and pepper but they are exploding with flavor!
Oh, my grandaughters would love these figures of wooden soldiers. And so would I, lol!
Mmm, Our Christmas fare always varies, but I love sweet potato casserole with a struessel topping that I plan on my making. My grandmother always always makes some delicious roast beef.
I feel like a kid looking this!
The thing i like to eat the most on christmas are dumplings. I hope that’s the right word, in Germany it’s called ‘Knödel’ and made from potatos. Together with canard in the french way it’s THE food for Christmas for me.
<3
I love dressing with gravy for Christmas dinner – YUM!
My favorite thing to eat this time of year is cornbread dressing.
Potato Candy!
My favorite food to eat at Christmas is my mom’s meat pie (tourtiere). We come from Quebec in Canada, and this is a great tradition there.
While I love meat pie in general, this particular recipe is extra special. It came from my Grandmother, who unfortunately passed away when I was very young. Not having known her myself, I always think of her a little bit more when we enjoy her delicious recipe on Christmas eve every year.
Pumpkin Roll for sure!
I would have to say I love my Grandma’s baked creamed corn casserole or Green Bean Casserole.
homemade crescent rolls– yummy buttery!
Sometimes we’ll do Mexican food on Christmas for a change and then everything is my favorite! No way I could choose just one.
I love junky party food – chicken balls, taco dip, ham & rolls, party mix, etc.
I love my Grandmother’s Potato Rolls. I only make them at Christmas.
Wow-ee! She is amazing! I wish I had the patience and stamina to create all that she does! Absolutely charming!
We’re doing Italian this year… lasagna!! Should be yummy. :)
We have prime rib every year, my father in law makes it and it is super yummy!!!
Blueberry pancakes for breakfast Christmas morning. Yum! :)
I love to combine American and Mexican foods together. Baked ham, tamales, mash potatoes, with gravy and salsa! Yummy :).
I gotta say I love my sweets too…but that must be obvious since we all frequent this site so much! I am always a sucker for a crabcake, so that is on the menu for Christmas at our home this year ( along with all of the sweets, of course..)!
We don’t do formal dinners on Christmas day…we celebrate with appetizers. I love my mom’s hot spinach artichoke spread…she makes it several times a year but it tastes best on Christmas day!
honey roasted ham….mmmmmmmm
Sausage Balls. No question.
1lb Jimmy Dean Sausage
1c Bisquick
1.5c Cheese (shredded)
Combine, roll into balls, bake at 350 for 20 min, or until cheese turns golden.
Its funny but with all the amazing home cooked food at my moms my favorite has always been those Pillsbury crescent rolls from the can. I can never get enough of those. :)
Rolls that mom makes are the best!
My favorite thing would have to be pork tenderloin with cranberry glaze. I can’t wait!
I love to eat Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast on Christmas!!
These are amazing….the whole thing is magical!
Nothing can beat the sweets, but if I had to choose, I really look forward to Yorkshire Pudding during Christmas dinner. Yum! :)
ham and turkey with all the traditional stuff with it
I think I got a cavity just looking at all these amazing pictures. Wow!
My favorite Christmas food is our traditional Roast Beast and Yorkshire Pudding. Delish. It just screams Christmas to me.
My favorite part of holidays is the hors d’oeuvres. They are always different and always delicious. Especially anything involving brie….mmm.
Chicken, sausage and shrimp gumbo!
My ALL time FAVORITE Christmas non-sweet dish is my mom’s 24-Hour Egg Omelet… Yummy and SO filling :0)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!!!
I make a delicious breakfast casserole for Christmas morning each year. It hits the spot! Lots of cheese, sausage, spice, and bready goodness
My favorite thing to eat for Christmas are any carbs! I usually let myself gorge for the holidays!
I just love a roasted rack of lamb with roasted asparagus, corn and mashed sweet potatoes! Of course all the great deserts, too. Yummy I can wait!
I loved the adorable soliders!
Happy Holidays to Everyone!
I love to eat deviled eggs and celery stuffed with cream cheese. Oh and Buffalo Chicken dip is a tasty treat!
Lasagna-but it is really gooood!
My favorite Christmas food that is not sweet would have to be my mom’s ‘Yummy Shrimp Dip’. It is a good alternative to the amount of sugar cookies I eat on Christmas Day. =D
Thanks!
Claire
Christmas Eve it’s Dungeness Crab and clam chowder in bread bowls and for Christmas Day it’s Ravioli and “Christmas Chicken” MMMM can’t wait!
Everything is beautiful! She is a genious!
Well, I love Christmas food, everything is so yumi and I must say I like the classic mashed potatoes with gravy, I know I know but I am a huge fan LOL
Congrats for your amazing work!!
homemade sticky buns in the morning with coffee!
Our favorite Christmas dinner is prime rib and twice-baked potatoes – yum!
Without a doubt, Honey Baked Ham!!!!
I’ll give you a hint: Gobble, gobble. That, or Swedish meatballs.
Well, my favorite Christmas morning is monkey bread. But, dinner wise is good ‘ol green bean casserole!!
Those are adorable. I think I need a collection of my own. Please let us know if you find other places that sell them, especially online!
My favorite things to eat at Christmas are Roast Beef (we call it Roast Beast at my house) and Yorkshire Pudding. I think I’m a Brit at heart.
Turkey! and gravy…yum!
Prime rib
Those are adoooorable! I always make a standing rib roast rubbed with lots of crushed garlic, kosher salt and cracked black pepper – that’s it. Best thing ever!
Down here on the Gulf Coast we have a Christmas tradition of GUMBO! Yummy, spicy, and delicious… and we can make it ahead of time which means more time to spend with family and friends.
I love to Fernwood thin mints. There is just something about chocolate and mint together at Christmas.
oh my Favorite Christmas food is Clam chowder my grandmother has made it every year since my mother was little. Now my mom and my aunties make it. So YUMMY!!!
We are very non traditional and eat homemade pizza on Christmas Eve! My stepfather makes it and it’s the best! Christmas day it’s always different because it depends on whose house we eat at. I do love to have ham and scalloped potatoes though.
My favorite thing is stuffing, but only the stuffing that has cooked insdie the turkey! My mom makes both, some in some out, but my most fav is when it’s cooked inside. Can’t wait to eat some this coming weekend!!
Those decorations are AMAZING!!!!
My favorite is a dip that’s become my go-to for all holiday parties and will definitely be eaten on Christmas day. It’s a baked sweet onion dip and it’s incredible!!
http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/appetizers-and-snacks/baked-sweet-onion-dip/
Cheesy potatoes and spinach dip, my Grandma makes the best!
My favorite thing is Filling. It is an old family recipe with Mashed potato, celery, onion and lots of love. Oh and lets not forget the butter..the more the merrier. And everyone fights for bits of the crust because it is amazing. Mmmmm, now I want some and I have to wait for Saturday, so sad
mmmm…. beef wellington. I am so looking forward to Christmas dinner!!
My dad always makes Buckwheat pancakes on Christmas morning. That’s one of my favorite traditions…. also my brother brings a half baked Deep Dish pizza home from Chicago and we usually have the on Christmas eve… that’s a pretty good tradition, too! :)
I love to each ham. Something about a good sweet ham means it’s Christmas. Oh and those cute things would look adorable in my house!
I am wanting bread pudding…still a desert, but sounds so warm and yummy!!
My mother’s shrimp dip is a family favorite. When my cousin returned from Iraq, it was one of his first requests and we go through a ton of it on Christmas night!
My favorite…homemade pierogies! Happy Holidays!
Quiche for brunch on Christmas with lots of fresh fruit and juice.
My fav? Anything from the “snack” table at my Dad’s! We all (40 of us) bring a side dish and dessert or snack to the celebration, and by the time I’ve grazed thru the snacks, I’m too full for dinner!
I love antipasta! It’s a tiny bit sweet but mostly savoury, and it’s extra delicious paired with Ritz crackers. I first received it as a gift for Christmas and now it’s not quite Christmas without it.
Honey baked ham and Mom’s potato salad – so yummy!
My favorite holiday food is definately an under the sea pear salad my mom would always make. It’s not too sweet, but its not necessarily a pure savory dish either. Had to thank the 70s for the Jello book she always pulled out at the holidays. Or, she also made a delicious green bean casserole that tasted great! Wish I was having some of that this year :)
I love ham on Christmas and green bean casserole. But
I hold on for the desserts and if you saw me it would be
no big surprise.
We make prime rib dinner, yum, can’t wait. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I crave rice pilaf — white rice sauteed with onions in vast amounts of butter then baked with beef broth. My granddaddy used to claim it was healthy because it was “brown” rice!
Oh My, the nutcracker cake pops are so, so ADORABLE!!!! You are so amazing!!! I love the cupcake hat..will you be posting on how to make those?
Favorite “real food”…..Honey Baked Ham
The Lasagna we have on Christmas eve
Its a tradition that we eat “holiday food” (ham, turkey etc) 1 day & the other we have something fun like Paula Deen’s Lasagna or grilled Surf & Turf as we are in California.
Nothing better than a Honey Baked Ham and scalloped potatoes! yum…
Last year my boyfriend and I made pork roast with honey and peaches (compote). We experimented a bit and it was awesome!
I love your pictures, what a fun party. I had to think really hard about my favorite non-sweet Christmas food. Then I remembered my Mother-in-Law’s Ham! Oh yeah that’s the Fav!
Merry Christmas!
Rutebaga (aka turnips). i know lots of people would say yuck, but I saw YUM! We mash them like potatoes with butter…sooo delicious!
Turkey and Mashed Potatos. It’s Thanksgiving Part 2. Love it!
I have to say turkey-even I bet many have already said it! But I can never get enough turkey….mmm and leftover turkey sandwichs’!!
Totally LOVE Tortiere (a Quebecois specialty – meat pie with cinnamon and cloves and it’s SUPER tasty)!! It screams Christmas, is very filling and awesome for leftovers. Oh my, I could totally eat one right now…
My husband’s family has always eaten Mexican food for Christmas. The whole family gets involved in the preparations, and since his mom died, we have formed an assembly line to roll the enchiladas. She used to do the whole meal BY HERSELF! It takes all of us to do what she did. She made tacos, enchiladas, beans, rice, pico, queso, and all the sides.
I love my Grandma’s home made mashed potatoes!
Merry Christmas!
Oh my gawrsh! These are adorable! Hope I win…
My favorite thing to eat for the holidays is lefse. It’s a holiday tradition to make and eat. For people who have never had lefse, I always say it’s like a tortilla made from potatoes… But tastes soooo much better. It tastes especially good with ham or turkey and cranberries rolled up inside.
That party is amazing!!
I love holiday breakfast foods…stuffed french toast?? YUM!
spiral baked ham :)
Breakfast casserole made by mom :) Simple but delicious and always something I look forward to on Christmas morning!
My favorite thing to eat is cheese! :) I love anything with cheese on it. Cheese and crackers… seven layer dip… chilli. Mmm… I can’t wait for Christmas!
We always have an eclectic Christmas dinner, every year changes. This year my dad & stepmom are bbqing salmon & tritip. CA weather lets us bbq in December!! Can’t wait. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is Honey Baked Ham…we don’t have it every year so it’s a treat when we do.
I loved the post about Julie’s party last year and I’m so glad you have another one this year! Absolutely adorable–and I LOVE the little cupcake nutcrackers!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is my Nana’s rolls. They’re perfectly soft and so buttery. She uses the same recipe that my great-great-great grandmother used. No better rolls in the world!
I love my mother’s cheese grits casserole! mmmmm!
Turkey is my favourite. My son just tried a smoked turkey which is amazing. We’ll be doing that for Christmas so more can try it.
My Mom always make a molded jello salad with pineapple and sour cream, it is so good and just “screams” holidays!
Pork Roast and garlic mashed potatoes. Stick to your ribs delish!
That party is some serious sugar high! Loved looking at each and every delight. Happy Holidays
I would have to say my Dad’s Chex Party Mix is always my favorite thing to snack on. He also packages it up and gives it to his Dentists he works for as a christmas present along with my mom and I’s cookies.
I only wish I could throw a party that was that beautiful and well put together. I love seeing your cake pops! Such detail. You have more patients than I!
My favorite thing to eat would be my cornbread dressing. This year I am trying out a prime rib roast and if all goes as planned, it may be my new favorite!!
My favorite thing to eat at Christmas is turkey sandwiches on rolls with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce! YUMM!
