AND THE WINNER IS: Nikhil, who said, “Turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes on the side and chocolate cake for dessert!“
HO! HO! HO! Do I hear Santa on his way?
Christmas comes early this year for all you lovely readers of HoH. I’ve been busy working with the kind folks at Wayfair.com to rustle up something nice for you this holiday season. One lucky reader will win a T-fal Non-Stick 12 Piece Cookware Set ($80 value). A little too big to fit in your stocking (unless of course, you have one of those gigantic ones – which I’d love to have as mine!), but perfectly snug under that wonderfully lit tree, this is a gift that won’t stop giving. I always tell people that having a good set of cookware can do wonders to not only to the taste of your food, but also help in making dinner-time a breeze. I have a T-Fal frying pan that I bought when I first moved here for college (over 8 years ago – does that age me?), and I still love using it to make omelettes for Baby Dear’s breakfast!
Wayfair has a great product selection ranging from cookware sets, dutch ovens, grill pans, and much more! In addition to the wide selection of cookware, they also offer a breadth of items from home decor items, luggage, and shoes to bedding, accent chairs and everything in between! How awesome would a kitchen play set be for a kid of a food blogger to carry the torch on further. Start them young, I say!!

December 4, 2011My favorite meal to cook is our annual sticky buns or cinnamon rolls for breakfast. There is too much interest in presents, so it’s a quick, tasty hand-held breakfast that can be eaten while opening presents.

December 4, 2011Our favorite tradition is to do a meal from a different country each year. It’s so much fun to explore new foods. I discovered your site because I was searching for a recipe for dal makheni. I’m so excited to try your version and the mushroom recipe you posted recently too!

November 30, 2011Holiday’s are a time that coincides with my boyfriend’s birthday and also his yearly trip to India (which I cannot accompany him). So his b’day celebration becomes the holiday celebration and his favorite meal is my alu paratha with ghar ka dahi, tuar dal tadka and his favorite moist devil’s food cake with hot fudge. This year I’m changing it up a bit by making an Oreo Ice Cream cake for him 🙂 Here’s to the Holidays! HO! HO! HO!

November 29, 2011I do loads of potluck during holidays ! Everyone is super high spirits and food tastes best when shared and enjoyed with everybody. We have our potlucks around varied themes – China Bowl, Italian Siesta , Indian Khazana and the likes to make it more interesting. Sometimes we also get the kids to dress up according to the theme. Its really a whole lotta fun 🙂 !

November 29, 2011When I go home for Christmas I love making the traditional British Christmas Eve dinner we grew up with of roasted boneless rib eye, yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese, stuffing, homemade bread rolls, gravy, and brussels sprouts.

November 28, 2011Beer cheese soup makes for a great appetizer and is so delicious! I also make a decadent pumpkin cheesecake during the holidays. Lot of work for a non-baker with no baking tools, but worth it once a year!
Lauren
November 28, 2011I live far away from my family and we have very different eating patterns/habits. So during those rare times I’m with them, I like to cook meals that use seasonal and, preferably local products, and that center around vegetables and lots of spices and herbs.

November 28, 2011I love to make our family’s Christmas cake – it’s called vinaterta, and came over from Iceland with my great-grandmother’s family when they immigrated to Canada in the late 1800s. It’s an almond cake in seven thin layers, with a prune-and-cardamom puree in between, and almond icing. One of the things that makes the holidays special for us!
