Elmck Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Throughout the years here on Gottadeal I have come across some amazing recipes from many of you. I am looking for more family holiday favorites. You know the ones you only fix for special days. I want to try some new things this year and I am hoping some of you will share. PLEASE!!!!!

Kanyon71 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We have been making this recipe for Christmas Brunch for at least the past 6-7 years. It's a recipe from Paula Deen so you know it's not good for you. I leave out the corn syrup in the topping though (honestly to me didn't add anything). We do this and a hashbrown casserole, usually some sausage and bacon. Everyone loves it and for me I made it the night before and then just took it all out and put it in to bake the next morning. That way all I had to worry about cooking was some sausage and bacon. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/baked-french-toast-casserole-with-maple-syrup-recipe2.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 My family loves this for breakfast and throughout the day, with or without the cheese. I actually make it year round for myself. Hint: I've had trouble in the past getting the bottom layer of crescent dough to cook once the filling is in there so I started cooking the bottom layer first, while cooking the sausage and cream cheese mixture. https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/sausage-and-cheese-crescent-squares/f2b22bde-19e4-4447-aa99-30e90ee5a38f 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I pulled this recipe from the people who make my smoker. I'm going to try it out here very shortly to see how it comes out. If it's really good then I'll smoke this version instead of the one I did last year which used a citrus brine. Cider Brined Smoked Turkey Breast: 6 cups apple cider 2 cloves garlic, smashed 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp allspice 1/3 cup kosher salt 3 bay leaves 4 cups ice water 1 turkey breast 1/2 cup plus two tbsp unsalted butter, softened Favorite RubPreparation Brine: Combine 4 cups of the apple cider, garlic cloves, brown sugar, allspice, salt, and bay leaves in a large pot. Simmer on stove top for 5 minutes, stirring often.Take off stove top and add in the ice water. Place turkey in the brine and add water as needed until the turkey is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Cider glaze: Boil the remaining 2 cups of apple cider in a saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Whisk in butter. Cool completely. Note: The glaze can be prepared the night before when you make the brine. After turkey has brined overnight, drain turkey and rinse. Using your fingers, take two tablespoons of the softened butter and smear it under the skin of the breast. Lightly season the turkey breast with the Rub. Start the Smoker, and bring up to 325 degrees F. Cook turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (about 3-4 hrs). After the first 20 minutes of cooking, brush turkey with the cider glaze. If the breast starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Let stand 30 minutes, slice and serve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgetsRsexy Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) This is my MIL's recipe that she shared with me as they are my husbands favorite. I think she would be happy to know that they may become a part of someone else's family tradition:Press Cookies 1 Cup softened margarine3 oz. softened cream cheese1 Cup sugar1 egg yolk Cream above "wet" ingredients together. 2 1/2 Cups flour1/2 teaspoon salt Mix dry ingredients together and add dry ingredients in batches to mixer bowl containing the wet ingredients. 1 teaspoon almond flavor Add to mixer bowl and mix all ingredients until well blended. Add cookie dough to press and form cookies. Bake pressed cookies at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes or until cookies just barely begin to brown. PS. I use the oxo good grips cookie press because it takes the guess work out of how much cookie dough to use per cookie.

budgetsRsexy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Maple glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon (who knew these vegetables could taste good!) Ingredients 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil3 tablespoons pure maple syrup4 slices raw bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (I usually add more slices as my husband loves bacon)1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).Place Brussels sprouts in a single layer in a baking dish or tinfoil covered cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup; toss to coat (sometimes I toss in a ziplock bad to get a better coating and then empty onto a cookie sheet in a single layer). Sprinkle with bacon; season with salt and black pepper.Roast in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and Brussels sprouts are caramelized, 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. NOTE: I cut my sprouts in half so that the maple syrup has more surface area to coat. Doing this may mean you will want to reduce the cooking time a little but it really depends on the oven. Just keep an eye on them so the syrup/sugar coating doesn't get burnt Edited October 13, 2016 by budgetsRsexy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budgetsRsexy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Can you use frozen brussel sprouts?? These sound really goodI've never tried it with frozen ones but if you thawed them first I don't see why not. You may need to adjust the cooking time though but I would think it's worth a shot to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntJamelle Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) This is a tried and true I make for Thanksgiving every year! Herb Cream Cheese Crescents 1 Tb Dried Chives1 Tsp Dried Dill2 small Garlic Cloves, minced or pressed (Or Garlic Powder to taste)Onion Powder to taste½ tsp Dried Parsley or 1 T Fresh8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened1 box Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed in fridge overnight Mix herbs with cream cheese. Roll out first sheet of puff pastry until it is as large as possible without making dough too thin. I sprinkle my rolling surface well with flour. Cut into 3 long rectangles. (Pizza cutter works great for this) Cut each rectangle into 3 squares. Cut each square into 2 triangles.Spread all triangles with cream cheese mixture. Roll up each triangle starting at wide end. Form into crescent and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with other puff pastry sheet. Once all crescents are formed they can be covered and placed in fridge until time of baking. Can brush with egg wash or a little milk just prior to popping in oven to get a better golden brown color on baked crescents. Oven = 400Bake approx. 10 -12 minutes or until just golden brown.

AuntJamelle Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I make this for the holidays every year as well. I love that I can make them ahead and freeze, then just pull out and throw in the oven for parties, etc. Pioneer Woman Cheddar Puffshttp://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/cheese-puffs/ Another appetizer recipe I make every year is a Blue Cheese Ball. The secret is in the butter! I've had cheeseballs with butter and without and by far the ones with butter just seem to be better! In fact I'll add at least a half stick of softened butter to other recipes that don't necessarily call for it - hey, it's the holidays! lol Blue Cheese Ball 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temp8 oz cream cheese, softened4 oz. crumbled blue cheese, room temp1/4 cup finely chopped green onion (or you can sub a couple tablespoons of freeze dried chives instead)1/8 tsp cayenne pepper1/8 tsp garlic powder4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled1/2 cup chopped pecans1 tsp brown sugar Very important that butter, cream cheese and blue cheese are all at room temp! Stir together butter, cheeses, onion and seasonings until well blended. Press into a small bowl lined with plastic wrap (like a cereal bowl). Chill at least 8 hours or overnight. You must do this or it won't have good flavor. Before serving, make topping: Combine sugar and pecans in a non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray. Cook until the sugar melts and the pecans began to toast. Add the bacon and stir. Remove from heat and cool. Invert cheeseball onto serving plate. Press bacon pecan mixture on top of the cheese, covering well. Serve with crackers, etc.Okay, last one! Made this for our Christmas party last year and people went nuts! I'm making it again this year and will have enough for a double batch! Pomegranate-Champagne Punch · 1/2 cup water· 1/2 cup sugar· 2 750-ml bottles chilled brut Champagne· 1 1/2 cups white rum· 1 1/4 cups pomegranate juice· 1 large lemon, thinly sliced· Pomegranate seeds· Fresh mint leaves· 1 ice block · Bring 1/2 cup water and sugar to boil in small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer 5 minutes. Cool syrup completely.· Combine Champagne, rum, and pomegranate juice in punch bowl. Add enough syrup to sweeten to taste. Mix in lemon slices, pomegranate seeds, and mint leaves. Add ice block to bowl. Edited October 13, 2016 by AuntJamelle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layher6 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The corn pudding takes a long time to bake if you have other items in the oven. Alone it takes a minimum of 45 minutes. I bake it the night before and warm it up for thanksgiving. Our family loves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wittenlover Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I posted the link over in the Thanksgiving meal thread, but we stumbled on this awesome sweet potato bake recipe a few years ago and now it's quickly becoming a mandatory piece of our Thanksgiving meals. (Source: allrecipes.com) Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic Ingredients:(Main)- 5 sweet potatoes- 1/4 t. salt- 1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter- 2 eggs- 1 t. vanilla extract- 1/2 t. ground cinnamon- 1/2 c. white sugar- 2 T. heavy cream(Topping)- 1/4 c. butter, softened (use other 1/2 stick)- 3 T. all-purpose flour- 3/4 c. packed light brown sugar- 1/2 c. chopped pecans Directions:1) Preheat oven to 350* F. Lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish. 2) Bake sweet potatoes35 minutes in preheated oven, or until they begin to soften. Cool slightly, peel, and mash. 3) In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, salt, 1/4 cup butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and heavy cream. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. 4) In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, flour, brown sugar, and pecans. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers to the consistency of a coarse meal. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture. 5) Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until topping is crisp and lightly browned. (Fair warning - This is sweet enough to pretty much be dessert. It tastes basically like a good sweet potato pie, minus the crust.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
