It sounds basic but every Thanksgiving and Christmas I made artichoke dip. It's become expected by family over the years and I think my brother-in-law in particular would revolt if it wasn't there. LOL Thanks for the giveaway, Mary!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year <3
ReplyDeleteI always make a baked pasta with mushrooms and bell peppers.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any fun holiday stories since I didn't travel this year. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteAlways fun watching younger relatives get special gifts
DeleteI got to see my young nieces again at Christmas! My 2 year old niece accidentally crossed a barrier at one of the stores we went to and set off the alarm!
ReplyDeleteHad a great feast with family and a good time performing music.
ReplyDeleteNo fun stories or recipes this year. I put my back out just a few days before christmas and ended up on bedrest with ice and follow up with physical therapy. I missed most of my daughter's visit and didn't get to make so much as a single cookie! Now that I think about it though my family did giggle at me a lot while I was on a mix of painkillers and muscle relaxers lol. So there's the fun part :P
ReplyDelete"Any fun holiday stories to share? Recipes?" Fun fact: another year has passed and people with integrity and ability will someday be working to make the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteWell, you already know how I showed up at the airport and my daughter was still in Chicago, as I mixed up the whole AM/PM things.

ReplyDeleteI had bought alot of toys for my great niece and great nephew, before Christmas. I gave them the toys, told them these were for Christmas, and I wouldn't be buying them anything else until after Christmas. Well now it's "after Christmas" so they are asking for toys again!! hahahaha Can't blame them, they did what I told them!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe had a great holiday and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed spending time with friends over the New Year's Eve party.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered an amazingly easy, new fudge recipe this year. Intend to keep using for years to come:
ReplyDelete1/4 c. butter
3 c. choc. chips (or any flavour depending on your taste in fudge)
1 can condensed milk
Melt chips & butter in double boiler, add condensed milk, add c. pecans if desired. Chill in 9X9 pan overnight.
Best I've tried in a long time and was a hit over Christmas with the family. abrennan09@hotmail.com
My niece got so excited opening up her presents. She was so cute, hopping around like a bunny.
ReplyDeleteI made my traditional New Years dinner.... pork loin roast, black eyed peas and collard greens with cornbread. YUM! I am excited for 2019 :)
ReplyDeleteI made pecan bars (not pecan pie) and my sister loves them. I can't give you the recipe because it's my father-in-law's family secret. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI made bacon wrapped water chestnuts to take to my family's Christmas. I've been making them for over 20 years, it's a family joke that if I don't bring them I'm not welcome. :)
