Title: Things you cook for the holidays..
Post by: cmadrid on Wed, 24 December 2014, 16:34:50

I'm sure some of you have things that you make specifically for holiday get togethers.. what did you make?

I just finished making nearly 100 pierogi from scratch.  I think my hands are going to fall off  :-X

I used to make this lamb and beef sweet and savory stuffing every year, but now I just order Chinese food and drink a lot.

That sounds so much easier to me.. can you convince my wife that is the way to go?   :thumb:

Also, have a breakfast casserole to throw into the oven when we wake up, but that isn't really much work

I and my sister are vegetarian. The Swedish traditional Christmas food is very heavy on the meat, so I have imported a few recipies for vegetarian christmassy dishes from other countries.
This year I made Swedish-style soy/seitan ham (picture) from scratch, coated with mustard and breadcrumbs, Finnish root-pudding and an English-style chestnut/stuffing roast.
I have also baked gingerbread and (German-style) "lebkuchen". Maybe some English-style "mince pie" or "black bun" tomorrow.
