Delicious Holiday Food, Recipes & Prizes to Win

My oh my! These recipes sound wonderful. I'm going to indulge myself and make a few for the long upcoming weekend. Thank you!

Those food pictures are making me drool right now!

I make couscous add dried cranberries, pine nuts and mint

I put the ingredients for cinnamon french bread in the crockpot before I go to bed and when we get up it's already made. House guests who are early risers can help themselves and it is still warm and delicious for late risers too. It takes the stress out of everyone having to get up in time for breakfast. Just leave the table set before bed and everyone is happy. Same for the coffee make. I set it the nigh before so it's hot and ready at the crack of dawn for the early rising guests.

We always have a traditional Christmas breakfast of Bacon, tomatoes, and biscuit sandwiches. We also make gravy with the bacon drippings and have biscuits and gravy.

We tried out a few new cookie recipes this year, including some Oatmeal Cranberry Orange ones, that wouldn't you know, are just delicious with coffee!

wow, all of these recipes sound really great , can't wait to try them all. plus that picture of the berries is making me drool.

My 9 year old son likes Monkey Bread on Christmas morning, so I buy a box from the store. I would have liked to make it fresh this year, but things were just too busy. One year I made a breakfast casserole. It came out o.k. I like to keep things simple on Christmas morning as there is enough festivities going on, and I like to enjoy sitting on the floor opening gifts with my boys.

my favorite recipe is cinnamon sugar french toast. Take 4 eggs mix together with 2 tbs of milk, 2 tbs of vanilla, and 4 tbs of cinnamon. Take a piece of whole wheat bread, and dip. Then transfer to a hot skillet with melted butter, cook until brown then serve...yum always a hit. For an extra oomph use cinnamon butter on top when taking off the skillet.

love a nice cup of coffee after dinner, it settles my stomach and is a nice way to loose weight. It satisfies my sugar craving while being low calorie. Yum.
