Can you share a great holiday recipe?

So we all know the economy is bad and my family is already preparing for a small Christmas. In effort to save money and make more meaningful gifts, we agreed to make gifts for the holidays. This is where my question comes in.

My dad loves to cook. He also loves to pick up old family cookbooks at yard sales. He has plenty of these cookbooks and more dinner recipes than he could ever try but not so many breakfast recipes. My idea is to make him his own cookbook of breakfast items with great family recipes from all over. Anything from eggs, casseroles, breakfast sandwiches, to pancakes, waffles, muffins! If you have a great family breakfast recipe please share. Please include your name (first name only) and hometown so I can give you credit in the cookbook. And this will be for gift giving only - not to be sold.

Thanks!

This is sooooo good and can feed a whole family. I usually make this with 1 lb. of sausage instead of ham, so you can use either one.

Hello, I'm going on a special trip this Thanksgiving, to where I grew up. I haven't been back in 7 years, and I'm staying with my sister. We have plans to bake and prepare a feast! Any delicious family recipes that you can share with me would be great!! Doesn't matter what kind, dessert/main course/apps/drinks. TIA!

This isn't really a recipe, but my favorite thing growing up was biscuits (just made with Bisquick!!) in the turkey gravy. Yum. I still love it but usually don't have it cause nobody else wants biscuits. But, I put my gravy on the homemade rolls.
If I think of another recipe, I'll get back to ya...

I have a friend who's getting married and I am making her a really neat recipe book. It has several sections : easy and cheap, fancy stuff, and holiday's and desserts.
The holiday's and desserts section could use a few more desserts....But really any awesome recipe will do.
If you have any great recipes that you have made yourself (not just from a website), would you please share them with me so i can add them to her book?
So far I have about 30 of my favorite recipes in there, and I can't think of much more!
Thanks bunches.

i have some great recipes and ingredients i would love to share with you. Perfect for the holidays and its simple enough for even the first time cooks. Also have a few things that you can make as an activity with your kids. How about 4 meals in 4 minutes for the busy bodies? I have great ideas for you as well.

I would love some - Recently I've been using MyFridgeFood to get new recipes - Since I just started and all... but I love sharing new ones :)

Ok Ok so it isn't exactly a question so much as it is a ploy to share an incredible recipe with all of you for the Christmas holiday.

Slow Cooker Roast

1 4-6 lb Chuck Roast (Only Chuck roast)

1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (Dry)

1 pkg Hidden Valley Italian Dressing mix (Dry)

1 pkg Brown Gravy Mix

1/4 cup water

Pour water into slow cooker
Place roast in next
Sprinkle the contents of the 3 dry mixes on top
Cook for 5-6 hours on low.

If you desire add chopped garlic or Onions

In the final 2 hours add potatoes or vegetables of your choice.

When the roast is done remove it to a serving plate and allow the remaining fat to cool and harden. Remove fat then make gravy

(Secret) The more fatty a chuck roast is when purchased, the more it will fall apart.

This is my gift to all with this only hope: You wont think this roast is good nor even great. But rather..... Earth Shaking

Feel free to jot down my e-mail so you can comment on the results or just maybe you have a recipe to share that is equally earth shaking.

The Beast Has Spoken

it sounds tasty

Does anyone out there have something that they make for dinner on Christmas that everyone just loves and can you share your recipe. Here is one for you and if you like eggnog you got to try it. In a bowl put one gallon of whole milk two packages of vanilla pudding mix, and about a table spoon of nutmeg and vanilla extract. for a little extra taste put in just a little rum extract (optional) let set for awhile taste you might have to put a touch more nutmeg.. another option is putting spoonfuls of whip cream on the top makes it taste great.. I know at my parties this gets sucked down with a lot of compliments. if you wanted im sure you could go low fat??? But its Christmas.... HAPPY HOLIDAYS:!!!!!
Sorry about the misspelled word thats what I get when trusting spell check..
The Vanilla that I use is just plain old instant pudding no cooking....

I have to make a poem out of "Ten Things I Find Awesome". We had to make a list of 20 at first but now she wants us to narrow it down to ten. Which ones do you think would sound great in a poem?

1. Running - I lvoe going running (especially early in the morning) because it gives me a chance to contemplate things on my mind, and I can relax and think about nothing but jogging. Long runs give me a sense of accomplishment; also, I think it's the closes thing I have to flying!
2. Meeting Goals - I enjoy making progress towards goals I've set for myself,; my confidnce soars aftr witnessing ideas evolve into action.
3. New books - Although I'm not an extremely avid reader, I love shopping for the books I like, and collecting them. At bookstores, I stand in front of bookshelves and pick up books at random and read random lines from them.
4. No school - I love waking up on a Monday morning and remembering that it's a holiday.
5. Sleep - I love sleeping--especially for more than ten hours and waking up naturally and on time.
6. Waking up from a bad dream, and realizing that it was just a dream.
7. Frinds - frinds are people you can talk to anout anything and everything, without feeling embarrassed.
8. Compliments - many people will try to flattr you, but it's a great feeling oonce you realize that someone meant the complimnt they just gave you.
9. Giving presents - surprising other poeple with presents, and making them smile
10. Cleaning my room - cleaning my room is nevr fun, but the feeling of satisfaction and achievement you get from looking at the end result is great.
11. Random acts of kindness - eg. smiling at people, giving change etc.
12. Chocolate - Apparently, chocolate contains an ingredient that maks serotonin, which is a mood/feelings regulator (so it maksyou happy and energetic!)
13. I love getting perfect on a test that I didn't study for.
14. Doing nothing - I love being ok with not being productive, I usualyl don't use my time wisely.
15. Naps - I love taking long naps, especially when I know I have nothing important to do that day.
16. I love eopening the blinds at night, to a clear sky and having the moonlight shine down on my as I'm sleeping (so relaxing).
17. I love staying up late at night, listeing to music and chatting with my friends.
18. Old horror movies - I've always enjoyed watching old scary movies lik "The Blob"; the lack of technology in the 80s make the movie all the more entertaining/humorous.
19. Baking - Baking always makes me feel happy, especially when other people try your recipe and njoy it.
20. Talking to my sister - I share basically everything with my older sister--almost every single detail in my life with her... she's like my diary I spill my life to!

I'm not asking you to write the poem for me, just list the things that would sound good in a poem.

Also, what are some ideas for an opening and closing line? Thanks for any help in advance!!
If it helps at all, I'm in grade 10
