My favorite holiday too cook for is actually St. Patrick’s day! I traveled to Ireland one summer, so it is nice to bring back good memories and eat Irish food on St. Patrick’s day 🙂
Yum! I have only made Irish soda bread so I would love to experiment with other recipes!
ooooh – you had me at immersion!
my favorite holiday to cook for is probably halloween, in the event that there’s some sort of house party to attend. jew are probably thinking, “that is a strange answer, and not a holiday people usually cook for”. jew are correct – but i just can’t resist making spooky and gruesome foods. mummies-in-a-blanket, pretzel stick spider webs, ghost cookies… and let’s not forget about the booze – halloweeny-tinis!
Bwahaha yes! I love cooking for Halloween too- spider cupcakes are my fave!

My favorite holiday to cook for is Passover. It is The prefect time to invite all my non Jewish friends over for some old school favorites while teaching them a little bit about the culture. …And my brisket is BOSS! 🙂
HAHA I would love to try your brisket – yum!!
Favorite holiday to cook for is a toss-up between Thanksgiving and Rosh Hashanah . I was raised Episcopalian and so my mom has a huge collection of her traditional American Thanksgiving recipes, everything from scratch of course, including her grandmother’s Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. My husband’s family is Israeli and all of our recipes have been handed down from grandparents and great-grandpaers on both sides of his family- a collection of Hungarian, Israeli and Polish recipes. His great-grandmother’s Honey Cake is probably the most delicious thing that we make for RH but I love all of the sweet recipes.
Ooh those all sound delicious- you are lucky to have so many family recipes to make!

Oh, Pascha (Easter) for sure. My husband and I are Eastern Orthodox Christians, and that meal is a huuge deal. I go all-out. Lamb, rice, cheese and butter, bread, pastries, and lots and lots of red eggs. And booze. 😉
Can’t go wrong with cheese and booze!

On Rosh Hashonah and Thanksgiving I get to bring what my friend calls my “Compulsive Ratatouille”, so those would probably be my favorite. Although, anytime I get to cook for others is a treat. Love your idea of savory hamentashen!
Thanks! I would have to agree- I love cooking for others!
I love to cook for Christmas because I can bake cookies for weeks in advance and then focus on real dishes for the holiday – nice mix of sweets and healthy dishes

My favorite holiday to cook for is Thanksgiving. I like turkey, but my husband doesn’t, so we’ve switched it up from year to year with peking duck, cornish hens, chicken, etc. Plus, I LOVE all the side dishes and cranking out a bunch of homemade pumpkin puree baked goods!

I love cooking for all holidays. I just love cooking. I’m most excited about cooking for St. Patrick’s day this year. My boyfriend absolutely loves Irish cuisine. He loves pub food, hearty homestyle Irish food, gastro creations that are Irish influenced.. you name it, he loves it. So this year I’m going to make him a steak and guinness pie, some Irish soda bread, and an Irish cream cake.
I’m torn between Christmas and Thanksgivng – gingerbread and all things pumpkin.
Thanksgiving or Christmas..and I mostly bake (for some reason, not a good cook!)

My favorite holiday to cook for would be either Easter(making Easter eggs) or halloween(carving the pumpkin) because that is something I can do with the kids and they really enjoy it. If I am cooking a turkey for thanksgiving they are not really involved at all. And with what little time I as a father get to spend with them, I have to take advantage of the moments I do get.

I actually enjoy cooking for St. Paddy’s Day. I have a really good soda bread recipe I came up with when I dated an Irish guy, oh so many years ago, best thing that came our of that relationship. 🙂 heehee I also decided to see if I could make a good vegetarian ‘Corned Beef’ for this years St. Patrick’s Day & I did!! I just posted to recipe last night, go check it out!
http://watching-what-i-eat.blogspot.com/2012/03/vegan-corned-beef-cabbage-st-patricks.html
That blender looks cool, thanks for the giveaway!
HAHA I would love to try that Irish soda bread too! That corned beef looks great and really unique- how did it taste? And your blog header is beautiful!
The ‘corned beef’ was surprising good, especially w/horseradish & mustard. Also, cooking the veggies in the broth gave the dinner the perfect flavor, it really reminded me of eating the real deal. I made a Vegetarian Reuben out of some of the leftovers & it was excellent! I’ll make some Vegetarian ‘BBQ Brisket’ out of the rest tomorrow. I’ll post the soda bread recipe in the next 2 days. 🙂
Thanks on the compliment on the header. I made it using Picasa 3. Surprisingly easy. Here is the link for the tutorial from over at Clover Lane http://www.memoriesoncloverlane.com/search/label/How%20To%20Make%20A%20Cool%20Blogger%20Header%20%28or%20%22Banner%22%29%20Using%20Picasa
How are you liking Pintrest? Getting much traffic from there? Almost all of my traffic is generated from there. It is so satisfying when you post a picture & start getting the hits to the site/repins immediately.
Loving what you do. Thanks!
Awesome- I will check out your soda bread recipe! Thanks for the tip on the header too. I am liking Pinterest so far! It is in my top 5 ways peple find my site so that’s awesome. So far I really just use it to post my recipes and save recipes from other blogs I want to make. I haven’t interacted as much as I would like. But so far so good!
Finally got the Irish Soda Bread recipe up. If you try it, hope you like it. 🙂 Happy St. Paddy’s Day
http://watching-what-i-eat.blogspot.com/2012/03/irish-soda-bread-happy-st-patricks-day.html
Thanks! I don’t think I will have time to make it before St Patty’s Day, but I will make it after and let you know what I think- looks delicious!!
Halloween because you get to be a little creepy 🙂

My favorite holiday to cook for is Thanksgiving. Turkey and mashed potatoes are the only two items repeated. Every year we do a different stuffing, vegetable, and best of all … dessert! Always fun cooking with family and many times an adventure as we try new recipes!
My favorite holiday to cook for is definitely Thanksgiving–I love making roasted vegetables, and also love the desserts. This year, I think that I may try a vegetarian meal.

I LOVE cooking for Christmas. We always do a fun meal, either Christmas Eve or Christmas night where we do hors’ doeuvres, fondue, or something different and new like homemade specialty pizzas. Everyone gets a say in the meal, and while we still have a formal meal for when we have more family members join, the immediate family gets to experiment and have fun together while making something different and unique. It’s always a hit with us!
Christmas Eve is my favorite holiday to cook for.
Christmas Eve is my favorite holiday to cook for.
Birthdays are holidays and they are the best yet, most challenging to cook for.
Everyone has a fave dish but you have to tweak the menu for the guests coming and the cake is always an issue.
Grandpa always wants chocolate and the kids want something with sprinkles and the girls always want coconut.
On one birthday I got a bit fed up and frazzled so, forgot the candles and after my Mother had a fit that I was so lax I jammed a HUGE taper candle smack in the middle and lit it. The kids and Grandpa LOVED it. Yes, it is now tradition along with the loaf of Challah which we hide a lego in. Don’t ask.
Lol that’s historical!
I mean hysterical- darn you autocorrect!
My favorite holiday to cook for has always been Halloween. The childrens babysitter would throw a party every year and all the children wanted to see what my kids brought! I would tried different ideas during the year to get the best scary treat for the children.
