MemberAlright girls, I want to hear about what your favorite yummiest during the holidays! Bonus if you are willing to share the recipe. My family always does a homemade chocolate mousse, and you can’t forget the candied yams and sweet potato cassarole.
MemberFor vegetarians- the Spanakopita Streusel recipe from the Vegetarian Times website is so delicious all the non-vegetarians request it too. Also makes a nice potluck dish to bring to a holiday gathering.
Darling Husband is Catholic and traditionally eats seafood Christmas Eve, my daughter makes coconut shrimp and sushi.
Boxing Day I usually make Rachael Ray’s Christmas pasta recipe.
MemberMy family always has this Christmas punch that is peppermint ice cream melted in with chocolate milk. It’s so rich and delicious.
MemberI don’t cook, bake or anything of the sort. Every year, Dh puts in a big order for treats at Swiss Colony, some are annual staples, like his beloved chocolate with sea salt (not my favorite), and some surprises. And I get my petit fours, hmmmmm.
MemberFor treats I LOVE Almond Roca. I haven’t tried this recipe personally, but it looks similar to mine: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/easy-homemade-almond-roca-106641
I also usually make peanut brittle. Super easy and everyone’s always impressed it’s homemade! Again not my recipe but looks similar: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/15987/moms-best-peanut-brittle/
My favourite appetizers always include shrimp, bacon wrapped shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, my mums cheese ball and baked cranberry Brie!
