Holiday Yum Yums

[Fenix]

Just curious seeing as how I just finished preparing some dough for Vanilla Waffers later, what all do you folks make/enjoy eating for the holidays?

Personally I look forward to having some of my mothers Cream Puff Dessert, it has a sort of soft biscuit bottom that is sort of spongy and then it has pudding in the middle (usually vanilla or banana) and then on top of that is some Cool-Whip (Whipped cream) and then she drizzles chocolate syrup on top of that. One slice will probably make you gain a couple pounds but my god is the stuff amazing. xD

Oh that sounds good... 
My mom typically makes a ton of various cookies and then on actual Christmas day we wake up, have brunch (which for us includes a really tasty breakfast casserole with eggs, cheese, sausage, and gravy) and then we have a nice dinner with some friends (Irredrache/Virgil and his family actually). I live for the punch though. we have a family punch recipe that uses frozen pink lemonade, frozen strawberries, and ginger ale and I think last year I drank at least a gallon of it each time we made some. SO GOOD

you will enjoy this Eggnog Bread recipe

   
2 eggs, beaten   
1 cup eggnog   
2 teaspoons rum flavored extract   
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder   
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions
1.   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom only of a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or three 3x5-inch loaf pans.
2.   Blend together the eggs, eggnog, rum extract, sugar, vanilla and butter.
3.   Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add to eggnog mixture and stir just enough to moisten; pour into prepared pan or pans.
4.   Bake large loaf for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Breads baked in the smaller pans require 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, and remove from pan. Cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and store in refrigerator.

I like it, it's from the private collection of Stevie!

and for the diabetics (like me), just substitute Splenda  for the sugar.

(and if needed substitute canna-butter for the butter)

That does sound tasty, I'll have to see if I can get together the things to make that. Just missing the nutmeg and rum extract I think, well and the eggnog but that will be rectified soon anyway. xD

*Edit* Sadly Wal-Mart had no rum extract, it was actually kind of crazy getting some things yesterday there were entire aisles that were like completely empty it was so strange looking lol.
