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!!

My 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.
we like lasagna…..
My favorite ‘meal’ (I’m more of a baking kind of girl) is just my Chocolate Chip cookies that I end up making dozens and dozens of all around Christmas!
Cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning! Surprised to see that listed elsewhere here 🙂
Our 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!
I love cooking the big turkey dinner for my family. It’s so much work but they really appreciate my efforts.
We have turkey, stuffing and all the sides

My favorite meal to cook for the holidays is probably spiced roasted chicken.
Wow…very nice contest!! My favorite meal to cook for family is Chicken Biryani.
My favorite meal to cook is butter chicken, curry mashed potatoes, simple steamed spinach, and popovers with cranberry chutney (I make mine with black mustard seeds). Happy holidays!

I like to make something simple, some honey ham garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies!
My favorite meal to cook for family is pancakes for Breakfast, complete with sausage or bacon on the side and my dad’s homemade syrup.
Holiday’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!
Desserts. I’m a big fan of cookies. You just can’t NOT have them.
Lasagna has become a holiday tradition at our house. Thanks!
My family loves the turkey sheperds pie I make with the leftover turkey.
My favorite meal to cook is lasagna and some garlic breadsticks.
Depending on the occasion and friends/family we have over, I try to vary the dishes I make – sometimes its an Indo-Chinese theme, sometimes Indian, and sometimes fusion of various cuisines.
Holidays will not be holidays without the fruit cake. I always make the traditional fruit cake in the holidays for friends and family.
I 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 🙂 !
When 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. Just typing it makes me excited to go home in a couple weeks and make it with my Mom and Granny!
I love to cook hearty soups to help stay warm (and then finish with a homemade pie of course).
I love to cook beans and rice — it’s super filling and so easy to change up!
Beer 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!
I 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.
I love to cook spaghetti with meat sauce. It’s become a holiday tradition and everyone loves it. ( At least I think they do, haha) Thank you!
sphagetti

My favorite dish to cook for my family and friends is a spicy mutton biryani with cucumber raita. It gives an Indian spin to the holiday spirit!
We eat all the traditional fair but our favourite thing to eat is beef curry and paratha’s like my husband grew up eating in Kerala. We then enjoy pumpkin pie with Indian spices for dessert.
My favorite thing to make during the holidays are desserts!!! Love finding new recipes to try like your Chocolate Masala Truffles…they were a hit during Diwali!
Fav meal to cook is stuffing!
I 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!
Saw this on Facebook and in my Reader! Woo hoo! My favorite dish to cook for my family and friends during the holidays is roasted brussel sprouts au gratin.
We started a waffles for Christmas Eve brunch tradition a few years ago, and now that is one of my favourite meals of the year. It takes forever, but everyone loves fresh, homemade waffles with fruits and lots of goodies and toppings!
I love to make the breakfast brunch quiche and we also have eblesiviver ( a stuffed pancake) or pumpkin waffles.
Orange-pistacchio biscotti!
Not really a meal, but my favourite thing to make!
