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.

Egg, sausage and cheese casserole.
I love going to my in-laws and making beautiful sushi hand rolls for Christmas dinner – with jeweled colored salmon roe, sashimi and sparkling green seaweed.
omg! i wanna meet julie! i think we would be besties on the spot! i love eating my grandma’s dressin on christmas (and thanksgiving!). its made from cornbread and white bread – deeelicious! yum!
My favorite is the turkey and stuffing and all the trimmings!!
I’m a sucker for plain and simple mashed potatoes – made from REAL potatoes, not flakes.
Hmm favorite food… how about some good ol’ southern breakfast casserole!
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,175,149187-237202,00.html
There is the recipe although I use vegetarian sausage by morningstar farms instead of real sausage- so much better that way (in my opinion).
Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!
Mine is definitely ham. It is one of the few times a year we have ham.
Cabbage casserole! Sounds terrible but it is delish!!! Even teenagers like it!
I definitely love my sweets, but I also love my veggies…
I love making a broccoli gratin… I make a cream sauce, then put some steamed broccoli in a ramekin and cover with the sauce, some bacon bits, and caramelized onions. Then I cover with freshly grated gruyere and panko breadcrumbs. It’s a decadent way to eat fresh veggies, so don’t blame me if you get hooked on this treat! :)
Honey ham! Mmmm….Wait. That’s still a little sweet…
my grandmother passed away 30 years ago on dec 22nd, she hosted Christmas, so my mom took over and picked up some filet and let’s the guys cook! nice bread and salad and we are stuffed…
my favorite is the warm french onion soup… so so good… not too filling either as a starter?
(ps my kids are giving me your book for Christmas… so very excited)
I feel as if I’m livin in a dessert’s winter wonderland when I look at your pictures. Thanks for helping me take my mind off the stress of finals!
Jess, livininthekitchen.wordpress.com
Warm, buttery rolls – with more butter on top!
Actually, I’ll eat these any time of the year.
My favorite non-sweet Christmas food is lasagna. My husband and I are both Italian…so it’s a traditional food fir us. ( : I also love crab cioppino on Christmas Eve. P.S. Thank you for covering Julie’s house again! I stalk those pictures from last year and even made my own sweet covered white tree this year. ( :
Seven layer salad!!!
my favorite at christmas (and christmas eve, also a big deal in my family) are the appetizers…it’s fun, easy, it’s what everyone really enjoys and we try to make everyone’s favorite…we have turned our christmas eve event to appetizers only, it’s a huge hit and whatever leftovers we have we bring back out on christmas day…we love it, my favorite…my personal favorite is anything with cheese!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is Meat Pie! It’s tradition on my husband side of the family. We only have it a Christmas and it’s a real treat!
Definitely Prime Rib! We get turkey’d out after Thanksgiving and look forward to a good ole red meat meal. I”m dreaming of it now.
My favorite dish to eat on Christmas day includes spring rolls, sotanghon guisado, chicken barbeque, ham, teriyaki and native cakes. Yes i’m asian :-)
I love, love, LOVE my grandmother’s yams on Christmas. Yams with toasted marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and topped with Walnuts. Mmm <3 Looking forward to the Happy Holidays :)
Those are so cute! I love pickle wraps, little sausages wrapped in bacon then shook in brown sausage and baked, and salmon dip. Merry Christmas all!
I am totally speechless by this!! In AWE
My favorite holiday food is mashed sweet potatoes w butter :D
hash brown casserole
creamed onions mmmmm.
I make mashed turnips with butter and heavy cream. To die for. They are simply the most amazing treat.
We have a tradition, where every year on Christmas Eve, we have seafood fondue with scallops and shrimp. And then on Christmas Day, the main course is open for discussion, but we usually end up with lamb, since it’s my Dad’s favorite and he doesn’t get it very often.
My favorite thing to eat is homemade caramel and fudge. I only make it around the holidays but should all year round!
Oddly enough by Christmas I am over all the fancy dinners and such so I make us the most amazing nachos! I crisp up my own tortillas for the chips, make my own guac,, I do buy the cheese, sour cream, salsa and black beans. I do go out on Christmas Eve and get Carnitias from the best local taquaera in the area too.
I have converted many friends to this for Christmas dinner!
I love twice baked potatoes!!! Something about loaded baked potatoes whipped to delicious-ness and stuffed back in the skin…oooh yummy! Merry Christmas!!!
On Christmas Eve, I love to eat tamales with chili beans and grated cheese on top…sooooo tasty! On Christmas Day, our family has brunch and my fave is chili relleno casserole. just thinking about that food is making me super hungry right now! :o)
Pansit! My family (on my mom’s side) is from the Philippines and I love that dish! We don’t only have it on Christmas but it’s still good!!!!!
I love homemade rolls! Yum!!
I love mashed potatoes. :) Great comfort food and a Christmas classic!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is a rosemary flatbread with a white bean dip that my mom makes every year. It’s amazinggg.
Happy holidays!!
Probably the glazed ham we normally do ;-)
Ham and my grandma’s cheesy potatoes for me.
my favorite no sweet holiday food is green bean casserole. my mom made it every Christmas and i live from from home now and my dear mother is gone for 4 Christmases and it is something to remind me of home and my mother.
Merry Christmas Bakerella.
P.S. Happy to say I got an early Christmas present, your book. My sister in law, Eileen, got one signed by you when you were in NYC.
Oysters and crackers! (on our before dinner snack table!)
Some hot yummy coconut bread! It goes great with the rainy christmas’s we have here in hawaii!
My favorite thing is homemade manicotti from a recipe handed down for generations. They melt in your mouth, yum!
Bacon! We always have a lot of sweets at Christmas time and bacon is the perfect savory treat to all those breakfast sweets!
I love having turkey for Christmas dinner. It’s even better with a side of stuffing and corn!
My favorite thing(s): spinach dip…. prime rib…. grandma’s recipe for oyster stuffing…. and a good, old-fashioned, nut-covered cheeseball with plenty of crackers!
Real food on Christmas… I don’t know if i have ever participated in that kind of tradition. :O) But if I did i would imagine it would be a nice big roast with all the fixins @ my inlaws.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
I have two favorites and we alternate them from year-to-year…homemade lasagna with sausage from the local Italian market, or lobster tails. This year it’s lasagna.
prime rib with yorkshire pudding. happy holidays!
Chinese food! My family is Jewish, so we always see a movie and get Chinese after. And sushi, which is Japanese, but whatever. It’s good.
My mom always makes Lefse for Christmas. My sisters and I pretty much eat only that because of how much we love it! Topped with brown sugar and butter- nothing beats that! :)
I love my easy cheese dip – 2 containers wispride sharp cheddar cheese spread, 1 package dried italian salad dressing mix, 1/2 cup white wine. Combine all ingredients and chill for 2 hours. Serve with crackers.
Hillshire Farm summer sausage with cheese and crackers
My mom’s homemade mashed potatoes! Nothing fancy, but I only get them on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Can’t wait!
My fav. is lamb leg roast, I use garlic, salt, rosemery and a bit of vinegar, ummmmm house smell delicious.
Merry Christmas to you !!!
My favorite non-sweet would have to be Hickory Farm summer Sausage – I only eat it at the holidays and my family knows to keep away from me one I start.
I look forward to prime rib every year at Christmas, because that is the only time that I will pay that much for a piece of meat!
I love my grandma’s sausage stuffing.
Prime rib, definitely prime rib. Happy holidays to you!
love love love cornish game hens
Every year we have a delicious Christmas breakfast including: steak, eggs, biscuits and gravy. It is wonderful.
Mexican Food!
My favorite part of Christmas dinner is the Christmas Lasagna, it’s tradition in our family!
My absolute favorite thing to eat this time of year. Is party potatos. Its mashed potatos with sour creams and cream cheese. They are simply divine!
We don’t eat meat on Christmas so my favorite thing to eat is Chigi Soup. We eat Spaghetti with tuna fish sauce and the soup goes along with it. Yummy!
my favourite christmas food is the lazy cinnamon buns that my mom makes every year for breakfast! they are the perfect end to the gifts, and give us enough energy to tackle everything needed to make christmas dinner!
Totally love devouring some real Italian beef sandwiches.
beer stroganoff on Christmas Day….
Stuffed mushrooms or artichokes! My parents also make homemade manacotti each year and it is so delicious!
Christmas Eve is all about appetizers in my family, and my favorite are the crabby muffins – English muffins with crab meat and Old English cheese, yum!
My mouth is watering just thinking about the Prime Rib my grandma makes for dinner every Christmas- only a few days left! YUM!
Candy Cane! :)
My inlaws, who are Italian, make homemade ravioli’s every (and only on) Christmas. I don’t eat ravioli’s ever…..except for at their house on Christmas…..I don’t even particularly love the taste….but I love the tradition and the love that they put into them!
hotbrowns–made by my mother in law from leftover turkey. the recipe is from the brown hotel in louisville ky–basically toast casserole with layers of turkey, bacon, tomatoes and cheese. yum!!
I look forward to my husband’s made-to-order omelettes on Christmas morning! :-)
My favorite food that we have Christmas eve is Mozzerella and tomato with some good extra virgin olive oil:)
A really good ham. And then sandwiches the next few days on Hawaiian bread.
Now I have to go make some more cake pops!
Prime rib and mashed potatoes (from my dad’s Vermont garden!)… yum!!
Love all the pictures! Everything looked so sweet, especially your double-decker cake-pops!
My favorite thing would have to be my moms noodle kugel! Yummmmmmm
Ansa
Oh, I’d be an appetizer girl… any and all are equally loved by me. ;o)
I just can’t stop looking at these photos – just amazing! How do I get an invitation to cupcake Julie’s party???
My favorite thing would have to be my grandma’s spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce is just so perfectly seasoned and the meatballs are some of the best I’ve ever had.
My favorite is christmas mostacolli at the in-laws. So cheesy and saucy and delicious. Plus meatballs and a little buttery garlic bread. Oh lala
Latin food, Honey. Doesn’t get any better than that!
for christmas every year we do a huge brunch, and my absolute most favorite part – aside from the panetonne bread pudding, sweet, yuck ;) – are the herbed baked eggs (inspired by ina garten)… my kids actually love them, green herby stuff and all!
kristinmik at gmail
I LOVE Holiday Turkey!!!! Yummy!!!
On Christmas morning, we always have quiche and mimosas! I love the holiday season!
One year we had delicious spinach and cheese quich :)
Wow I never knew so many people eat Prime Rib on Christmas. I guess we are a little more traditional with ham and turkey and my favorite Christmas food would be a sandwich from left over turkey and cranberry sauce! AND today IS my birthday and I’ve never won anything online so I think I should totally win these two cute guys!
I love this pasta dish my family makes. I need to learn the recipe. It’s a layer of pasta, then ground hazelnuts, then shredded veal, pork, and beef with tomato sauce. There’s about three layers of it and then you bake it.
Mmmmm, this made me want it even more!
I love the variety of appetizers at parties! They’re always things you wouldn’t make on a normal night at home.
My Mom always makes an amazing ham & cheese quiche for us to eat for brunch on Christmas day!
Family tradtion is pancakes bacon and eggs. After we open presents and that could be very very early. We also have a tradition that when the youngest wakes up is when everyone has to get up.
Borscht with dumplings! A polish specialty :)
Yeasted waffles for breakfast and beef tenderloin with gorgonzola sauce at dinner …
Cornbread pudding and baked brie! Those pictures are amazing, your friend is very talented but I must say that your white Christmas tree cake pops are my new favorites, and that’s saying something!
I love to eat my father’s stuffing-dressing-side dish made of ground meat and ground pork, with red wine, apples,pecans and something in Mexico that we call “Biznaga” that is a candied fruit O.M.G. to die for, the combination of sweet and savory it’s adicctive.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!
I always look forward to eating my sister-in-laws artichokes. So delish!
Sweet potato crunch has always been a holiday tradition. My aunt is the one who introduced it to our family. I’m proud to say I have perfected the reciepe and it is always expected for me to bring it. No one else will even try it now. It is always fun to see people who hate sweet potatos become a believer after just one bite. It warms my heart!
Those nutcrackers are too beautiful! Well I love the appetizers on Christmas. It’s our day to be bad and break out some Paula Deen recipes, like her delicious bacon wrapped crackers. Christmas, I wait for you every year to eat like this!
My favorite part of Christmas dinner is the turkey dumplings that my grandma makes.
I love Christmas because I make stuffed mushrooms. Different ones every year, but they are SOOOO yummy, in any form. Merry Christmas Angie~
I want to be Julie…and you for that matter Bakerella. Really, double decker nutcracker cake pops?!?! You have out done yourself!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
We enjoy a egg and ham casserole for Christmas day brunch. A long standing family tradition…yummy yummy, and I don’t even like ham that much!
My favorite thing to eat is scalloped potatoes! Who wouldn’t love layers of cheese and potatoes? Happy Holidays :D
Stuffing and vegan gravy!!
Stuffing with potatoes, wild rice, apples, onions, mushrooms, cranberries, nuts, and lots of savoury!!
Have a merry Christmas!
My mom’s sweet potato casserole with pecans and marshmallows on top. Yum!
I love deviled eggs! My grandma makes them for most occasions, yum!
I would say the stuffing from inside teh turkey is my favorite. I make the stuffing first, and then we stuff it, so we don’t need to worry about it getting to a certain temperature. It’s so moist, and salty/buttery from the drippings. YUM!
I’m a side-disher if you will. My attention does not lay on a ham or turkey but on Green Bean Casserole, Crescent Rolls, Mashed Potatoes oozy with Cheese, and Artichoke Casserole – also oozy with cheese :)
I love a hearty breakfast, especially a cheesy egg bake!
Wow! I wish my house could look like that! My favorite non-sweet food this time of year is Macaroni & Cheese casserole! I can’t get enough of it! We use my grandmother’s recipe…yum!
Turkey and cranberry sandwiches, with stuffing and chips…..and a hot cup of tea. I am so hungry now…..
Mashed potatoes, or perhaps dinner rolls! :)
Also, there is the “Dressing” it’s alot like stuffing except it uses cornbread instead of bread.
Oh my, there are so many yummy things to eat around christmas. I think my favourite (since I have stopped being a vegetarian) are pigs in blankets! Yummy little sausages, wrapped in bacon. They are the perfect accompaniment to any Christmas dinner!! :)
I love love love this Brie appetizer my mom makes on Christmas with jalapenos and pecans…yum….
GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH! ;-)
Parmesan and mushroom strata on Christmas morning. We know that it is nothing but an orgy of sweets after breakfast, so we traded in our traditional coffeecake for this make-ahead dish.
I love my Italian grandma’s agnolotti (big ravioli), filled with meat and cabbage and served with a simple tomato sauce. Delish!
home made food, of course… Boeuf Bourguignon for example…
I love so many kinds of food. I think I really savor stuffing, so much so that we have it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I am in love with these two soldiers! They are so adorable! I’m so glad you did another post about your friend Julie. I still remember last year’s post and was hoping you’d do an update!
We love eating a green onion cheeseball every Christmas. The best, most yummy, cheeseball ever.
Spinach dip, for sure!
My mom’s hashbrown casserole…by far the best ever, and every year I have to resist the urge to face plant in it :P
Love them! Thanks, Bakerella!
Favorite and festive side dish at Christmas is pink grapefruit and baby lettuce. Pink and green food to match the decor. Love it!
Standing Rib Roast…..it’s to die for!!!
Cheese ball bread from a Brazilian BBQ restaurant. I like the ones at M-Grill (www.m-grill.com) or the one at Greenfield in West Covina, CA.
I love Honey-Baked Ham!
My Oma (grandmother) makes REALLY good schnitzel, and we always go over to her house on Christmas eve, and have it with her home made apple sauce. Just thinking of it brings back good memories!
hmmmm, so hard to decide. I think it would have to be the quiche we have on Christmas morning. Or the extra spiced “chex party mix” that always reminds me of my Mom.
I love eating Crab Creamcheese Wontons!
Honey baked ham, macaroni and cheese, and green bean casserole! Don’t forget the sweet tea! Good ol’ southern eatin’!
that upside down tree is awesome!
my favorite christmas eat would be spinach salad on christmas eve and coffee in the morning.
On Xmas eve I really like to eat codfish, a portuguese traditional dish.
Merry Xmas everyone!!
Super fantastic breakfast with eggs, bacon, pancakes, and hashbrowns, right after opening presents!
My mom’s from scratch homemade rolls!
We usually do ham, but seing everyone talk about Prime Rib. It sounds delish!
My favorite thing to eat for the holiday’s is simply: Ham – yum.. and great leftover in sandwiches or eggs!
My favorite thing to eat on christmas is actually just a mixture of baked sweet potatoes and apples. There’s a bit of brown sugar added and a little cooking magic, but the combination of the two comes out amazing.
I absolutely love pot roast with carrots, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Delicious :)
I love to eat twice baked potatoes filled with potatoes, cheddar and parmesan cheeses and a little sour cream. Yum!
Roasted Pork Shoulder is a tradition in our family!
stuffing…no sausage, no cornbread…just white bread, celery, onions, herbs and spices, chicken broth…my most favorite comfort food ever!
I try to think up something differenrt each year, but we always have to have my son’s favorite. That would be bean dip.
My favourite thing to eat at Christmas is my aunt’s stuffing. She makes it with hamburger and other things and I could just eat a huge bowl of that alone ! Since I’m working nights over Christmas, I just might have to get the hubby to run a plate up to the hospital for me !! lol
I am Mexican-American and I LOVE to have tamales at Christmas…along with chicken mole’ ….it’s all soooo good!
My favorite non sweet thing to eat for christmas would be homemade duchess potatoes and spatezele with stuffed goose. Hmm yummy. And by the way, please Bakerella im so wainting for the instructions of these cool nutcraker cake pops. Your friend July has these increfible chrristmas tree glasd jar do you know where she got them?
I love your blog!
ELoise
My favorite is my dads smoked turkey. Yum! Can’t wait to have some soon. :)
How about some clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl? Warm and toasty on a chilly Christmas day.
My Mum’s prawn, mango and avocado salad (yes I’m in Australia) :)
love my grandmother’s filled turkey!
Yes, on Christmas when my parents were alive, we also had sausage stuffing!!! it was the best.
What a Great display of Sugar sweetness. Love the pops you made! Both of them were so perfect for the table. Would love to win the soilders….thanks for the chance.
Happy Holidays to you and your family,,,
Cynde
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is my mom’s prime rib ^o^
I just love all the decorations. And your cake pops were so pretty. You are so awesome.
If we’re talkin non-sweets… I’d have to say Mashed potatoes with TONS of butter & stuffing!!!
Oh… I love her decorations! I changed my Christmas tree theme this year to peppermints & snowmen. I wish I could just pick and choose stuff off her trees for my own. LOL
Definitely spiral sliced ham :)
I love rice dressing with a bread crumb topping…and alittle red gravy on the side.
I absolutely love cold beef and grainy mustard mayo sandwiches with picallily on the side on boxing day. Mmmmmm! xx
spicy eggplant^^
Hashbrown casserole…love that cheesy goodness!
Honey baked ham. Love it!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is Mexican tamales, rice, beans and potatoe salad, yummmmmy!
my grand mothers mac and cheese!! mmmmmm *food coma*
Your friend Julie is AMAZING! My family does brunch with waffles and strawberries, egg casserole and a serious MEAT FEED. I think my dad did 10 lbs of bacon and sausage last year (for 8) people and it still wasn’t enough. Sick.
Honey baked ham & mashed potatoes with gravy. Yum!
Wow! I remember the post from last year, and it is still mindboggling amazing. I think Julie might want to add next year an ornament tree like the one on not martha today!
I’m a mashed potato girl and a vegetarian of 18 (gulp!) years, so I usually make vegetarian shepherds pie with caramelized shallots. If I don’t make that, then I make lasagna. Neither are considered traditional foods, but I love them both and they make great leftovers!
Cheesy potato bake made with cubes hash browns, sour cream, and lots of cheese!
My brother’s mashed potatoes, full of butter, sour cream and cream cheese. Mmmmmmm.
I love comibining everything on my plates on my fork. I like all the flavors together, like potatoes, ham, corn…anything!
My favorite thing to eat on Christmas is some sort of Mexican food. That’s pretty much my favorite every day of the year. ;)
We don’t really prepare a meal we do a TON of apps and sweets… But my favorites are.. Meatballs, Stuffed Mushrooms, and Mango Chipolte Cheese Dip, oh and those pickles wrapped in ham and dip. MmmMM I can’t wait! And I didn’t even mention the sweets!!!
love,love, love christmas ham…oh and chex mix….stuffing is good too!!! lol
Well, I´m more of a sweets person, but I love pastry we called them pastelitos and they could be filled with cheese or chicken. Love them
I love my dad’s ham. I can’t imagine Christmas without a slice of that on my plate.
Since my family is from Puerto Rico having “Pasteles” (a mixture of ground green bananas w/ yuca and chunks of pork wrapped in a banana leaf and boiled) is a holiday treat.
My favorite are peanut butter blossom cookies – the peanut butter cookies with a hershey’s kiss in the middle. I love them.
I’m looking forward to my mamaw’s stuffing this year again this year!
French fries. There is never, ever a bad time for them, and you can dip them in anything holiday related – cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, etc.
My family always has ham and turkey. My husband’s family has roast beef, and I must say, I prefer the roast beef!
Roasted pumpkin, bacon and feta salad. Add some roast almonds and a dressing of red balsamic, mustard and olive oil. Yum!
My favorite non-sweet for Christmas is our Christmas morning brunch main dish – an easy casserole that combines eggs, sausage, (or ham), sour cream, half and half, and shredded cheddar cheese. My family requests it every year and I’m happy to oblige.
Those sweet guys are awesome! I’d love to have one.
Happy holidays and a huge thank you for all the inspiration and fun you provide on your blog.
SPAM MUSUBI!!!!! (only in Hawaii) :o)
We actually change our meal each year. We usually make roast vegetables, so I guess that is my favorite!
When my family comes for Christmas we have Fondue for dinner – various meats and dips. They have not come for the last two years so we have done Lasagna. My goal is to make something that no one will complain about and my son is super picky. Italian food is a favorite so that is why we do Lasagna (Pizza just doesn’t seem special enough somehow).
I love pirogi… the potato and cheese kind. YUM!!! I would happily eat this everyday. But some reason it only gets made at Christmas. You fry them up with onions and it is just FabULous!!!!
Mashed potatoes!! I LOVE mashed potatoes, and we always make a TON on Christmas. I could eat an entire meal of just mashed potatoes, I swear! Yum :) My favourite is when they’re garlic mashed potatoes… with the skin still on.
My favorite thing to eat during the holidays are Cheesy Potatoes! Yum!
I wait all year long to eat spritz cookies. I know, I could make them any other time of year but it just feels so “right” at Christmas time…
Happy Holidays to all!
I love sweet potatoes & real mashed potatoes! Yummy!
mashed potatoes and gravy!
Hum, That might have to be the mashed potatos made(Ok, usually make dinner, not Mom).
Althought, I am making lasange rolls this year
looove me some carbs–mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing (that’s what we call stuffing here in the southland), & homemade rolls, like only grandma can make! :D
My fav food at Christmas is my Mom’s family stuffing recipe! I can’t eat store bought or anyone else’s stuffing…only Mom’s! :o)
We have Filet, Potatoes and mushrooms cooked in brandy with carrot souffle. All yummy, usually save dessert for the next day.
it’s hard to tell you a favorite dish.. my dad ALWAYS cooks something different every year (this year I think it’s going to have something to do with duck or rabbit.)
Last year, everyone had their own little cornish hen with a sauce that made you think you’d died and gone to heaven. it involved red wine, that’s all I know!
(Dad’s a Chef)
We have a family recipe for the best bread rolls I have ever had! Can never get enough of them :) Happy Holidays!
Grandma’s Cheesy Potato soup! MMMMMM warm soup after unwrapping all of those gifts on Christmas!
my grandma’s deviled eggs and mashed potatoes (although probably not together!)
“Christmas Crack”, Ferrero Rocher, and Baklava are my favorite things to eat this time of year in general.
Dips! Hummus, spinach and artichoke, bruschetta. I love them all :)
my favorite Christmas food is my mom’s pasta salad. It’s gotten to the fact that she only makes it for me each year, it’s delicious! Definitely can’t wait for Christmas dinner!
