Our Holiday Recipes Plus Tips to Navigate the Holidays

November 6, 2021 By Elizabeth Davenport Leave a Comment

Family Holiday Recipes

We’ve entered the holiday season and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Maybe you’re headed to celebrate with family or friends. What dish do you like to contribute? If you order your meal or enjoy your Thanksgiving meal at a restaurant, what are your favorites? Last year we stayed home because of the pandemic. Though we missed our family, we had a lovely time just the four of us. Wherever we are, we make what we think of as our traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Chad and I make our Brussels sprouts, and I make mashed potatoes and Thanksgiving dessert: Pumpkin Steamed Pudding topped with plenty of lightly sweetened whipped cream. And last year I made these delicious Buttermilk Rolls that were so good we voted them onto our family Thanksgiving menu permanently.

Anna always makes her family holiday recipes for Corn Pudding and Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie. I also now also make Anna’s corn pudding for holiday gatherings! It’s so simple and delicious! I love her pumpkin pie too!

Holiday Baking

If you enjoy baking cookies for the holidays and making food gifts like pumpkin bread and homemade granola, we’ve got some recipes you’ll want to try this holiday season! Last yer I made small loaves Spiced Pumpkin bread for Christmas gifts for our neighbors. This year, I also want to make Deb Perlman’s incredibly delicious Apple Cider Caramels to give as gifts (and to enjoy ourselves).
