What is Your Favorite Christmas Dish? (PARTY!)

[FortCluck]

I make Cabbage Rolls. Not buns but rice and hamburger rolled in Cooked Cabbage and then baked in tomato juice.
Mom makes Lefsa...
Then of course Turkey and ham plus stuffing..

I have had this before when I was a kid. My aunt would make mine with all veggies inside.

Yes..Sometimes I add veggies to my rice too. This year I made hamburger and rice filled. Sometimes bacon too.

oOO oatmeal and Raisin Cookies with a twist.

One day I wanted Oatmeal and raisin cookies... But I didnt have any butter. So I omitted the salt and used Bacon Grease.... Oh MY Gawd they were soo good. every one raved about it and asked me what was different...

They took one look and then took another bite and had more cookies.

Oh like, banana bread! Just another name!
Yes, that is yummy and rather easy to make!

Monkey bread is nothing like banana bread... it's more like pull apart cinnamon rolls or sticky buns.

Monkey Bread Looks good....

Great looking up and sharing.

I skip ANY recipe that calls for margarine.

We have made this using refrigerated biscuits, quartered. Then shaken in a baggy of cinnamon and sugar. With a stick of melted butter and brown sugar mixed together and poured over the top... baked until brown and bubbly... YuUhmeee!

Just sharing another simple recipe for it, I haven't tried nuts yet and hate raisins but LOVE monkey bread... fun to make and fun to eat...

The recipe I like to use when making our own dough for cinnamon rolls that put all store bought ones to shame...

I also really enjoy making a breakfast casserole on the Eve and eating something good on Christmas morning instead of starving all day like we used to... The following link is good guideline.. I prefer ham and sauteed onion, green pepper, and cheese (dislike Swiss).. like a Denver casserole, and bread quality has a huge impact on final product so use a bread you like!

My family immigrated from Italy in the early 1900's. One tradition we have is The feast of the seven fishes. On Xmas eve, we basically eat until we bust - 7 different fish dishes. My favorite is stuffed squid marinara on linguini.

Then Xmas day - my wife ancestors are english - so we do a traditional english meal: Beef Wellington (tenderloin wrapped in pate, then baked inside a pastry dough.)

but that stuffed squid - my favorite by far.

I am drooling here! If I lived nearby I would have no shame in inviting myself to your table!!
