Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Me,too! Maybe you could just post the recipe here, so we can all see it,lol! I LOOOVE pumpkin pie. We never had it growing up, so when I moved across the country and started making my own holiday meals, we started having pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies at the holidays. And not one of my in-laws says the " c " word (calories) at all! A big change from my own family! Holidays were so rife with tension and overeating and guilt. Now, they're just fun.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Fabulous!! Its nice to hear that people really do ENJOY holidays. To me such 'events' tend to fall into the 'helliday' category which I have learned to happily dodge too ;-) > I LOOOVE pumpkin pie.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 So... My mom knows my brothers favorite Christmas cookie and my sisters favorite Christmas cookie. And two years ago she put together a family tradition cookbook for all of us. And for the life of her she couldn't remember what my favorite Christmas cookie... Maybe after reading my list below you'll understand why. - homemade sugar cookies with a ton of frosting (if it only as one thin line of frosting outlining it - what is the point?) - toffee bars - hot chocolate - pierogies (homemade by me. ) - cranberry bread - chocolate clusters (with mixed nuts, marshmallows, and some crunchy ingredient that for the life of I can't remember) - chocolate peanut butter cups - caramel (homemade of course ) - my grandma's white bread recipe - baked brie with cherry almond sauce on top - meltaways ok - so the list could go on forever... But I'll stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 That is such a good idea. I thought years ago about doing this - and haven't 'gotten around to it' :/.
