Share Your Fav Holiday Recipes

[Catsmeow]

Folks, I'm desperately needing the aid of a few, good cooks...I'm still unpacking boxes and can't find my cookbooks. Can anyone share some really good recipes for the season?

I am especially in need of a good recipe for Banana Nut Bread. I wouldn't mind a recipe for some homemade white bread...I'm sick of the frozen kind and fed up with breadmakers.

I'm ready to tackle the ol' fashioned bread ....where you kneed the whole lump and go from there....

I could also use a good recipe for Pecan Pie and Egg Nog, if anybody has one...

Thanks in advance.

That is what the wonderful world of internet is for :-D. Look up Bannana-nut bread and you'll find millions of good recipies - a good way to tell if it's good is if it is a well traversed web site...and some sites have people who reveiw the recipie. I'll see if I can dig up any good ones for you though - my mom owns about a million cookbooks

It's true...there's a million recipes, but I prefer word of mouth. My mother was notorious for "trying out" new recipes and we (*Dad and me) were stuck with being the guinnee pigs.

Sometimes the recipe was decent; sometimes is was enough to make you ...well, uh...

If someone tells me, "This is my favorite holiday recipe" I know that it's tried and true.....

Oh, and the best part is that everyone here at Worthy has the benefit of sharing their favorites with others...part of the fellowship and fun we all enjoy.

I will have to dig up my beloved "Egg Nog" recipe. I will warn folks that it's the old family recipe and does have the rum added (but can be made just as well without the rum), which generally speaking, cooks out of the nog itself, since the nog is heated to a near boil.

Dear Catsmeow;

How about corey's famous "Deluxe Pecan Pie" - serves 10 - 12

1/2 pkg of pie crust mix

3 Eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 c dark corn syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1 c pecan halves

2 Tbls chopped nuts

1 c sugar

2 Tbls melted butter

1/2 c whipping cream

1/4 c brandy

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pastry for 9 inch one crust pie as directed on package except stir in 2 Tbls chopped nuts before adding water.

In small mixer bowl, beat eggs, sugar, salt, butter, syrup & cream. Stir in vanilla, brandy and pecans.

Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until filling is set and pastry is golden brown. Cool.

Personally, I don't care for it. I'm not fond of pecans. But it is the ONLY pecan pie my stepfather will eat. I love making it, because I love making him happy. Actually, everybody that eats it raves about it.

Dear Catsmeow;

I had to wait until I went to my mothers house to get you the Banana Nut Bread recipe.

Mom's Banana Nut Bread

Some like to add 2 Tbls melted butter to batter.

Mix in a bowl:

3 ripe banana's well mashed

2 eggs, beaten until light

Sift together:

2 c flour

3/4 c sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

Add to the first mixture.

Add 1/2 c nut meats, chopped

Stir well. Put in a buttered loaf pan 9 x 5 inches.

Bake 1 hour @ 350 degrees

Personally, I like to serve it with Cream Cheese or Butter

Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks Corey... This is why I didn't post this on the Ladies Forum. I know good and well there's guys out there who have some great recipes, too.

Thanks for these....Of course, I assume these recipes are fat free and low calorie... (

Dear Catsmeow;

Sorry, nope they're not fat free or low cal. But they're worth cheating for.

"Fat free" and "low cal" are not synonymous temrs with "pecan pie"!

Dear Catsmeow;

You'll have to let us know which recipes you used, how they came out, and how you liked them.
