I've been using the Aeropress for many years. I also roast my own coffee, which is Ethiopian coffee that I get locally from an Ethiopian store here in Ottawa, Canada. You loose 20% of the weight in roasting but it still comes out to $6.00 US per pound and it's by far the best coffee I have ever had.
OMG….thank you so much! My grandmother and mom made this all the time when I was a child and I never got the recipe before they passed. I’ve tried to make it by my memories several times but it never turned out. I haven’t had this for over 50 years and can’t wait to make it for my grandchildren. It’s the marshmallows!!!! I didn’t know that there is marshmallows in it. Thanks again, makes me feel closer to them both and brings back great childhood memories 🥲❤
Y'all this is such an old recipe! My sweet mother in law would make this filling-with the crushed pineapple-lol; but instead of putting in a graham cracker crust, she would pour it into clean, empty, 20 oz fruit cans lined with plastic wrap, and then froze it! She would serve it for every special holiday family dinner! For our large family, she would freeze 4-5 20 oz cans. There were never any leftovers! Thanks for reviving a very sweet family memory! I think i will make it for Christmas dinner! 😊
This reminds me of my grandmother's fruit salad. She put fruit cocktail and mandarin oranges, sliced bannana, sliced grapes ( she picked out the one in the cocktail) and diced apples in whipped cream.
My mom passed away this July at 92, and when I first made her a pineapple cream pie almost 30 years ago, she loved it, so I made 2 every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is just 1/4 c powdered sugar mixed in with 1 block of cream cheese, fold in whipped cream, then fold in pineapple tidbits (drained) and the Graham cracker crust. It is so light and fluffy and delicious and a tradition the whole family insists on having every year! And never any left-overs😢. I also made it with frozen strawberries, and it's just as delicious, i usually make that one for a summer get together. I will be trying your recipe with fruit cocktail this christmas so thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks for sharing your recipe. There is a similar dessert that my Mom always used for catering (and it was also always requested for repeat events). Drain a can of fruit cocktail, reserving the liquid. Add cold water to the reserved liquid and use it to make any flavour of Jell-O. Put the Jell-O in the fridge until almost set (soupy). Add a container of Cool Whip (I would use fresh whipped cream at home), then add the drained can of fruit cocktail. Mix everything together and put it back in the fridge for about 4 hours or overnight. This stuff was SOOOO good. The only part of this I have now is the whipping cream as I'm Ketovore. Thanks again for all you're amazing videos! Cheers from Ontario Canada
Watching your video I found myself being flooded with memories. Starting with the yellow bowl you used to whip your cream in. My mother had the exact same bowl she used to make desserts. I now own this bowl since her passing. That plus the recipe reminded me of a similar recipe my Mom used to make. We called it Hawaiian Delight. We skipped the melting of the marshmallows but just folded the fruit-and yes we used pineapple!-, marshmallows and whipped cream together along with a bit of coconut. We called it a “salad” but these days it’s been switched to a dessert. I love watching your videos, they are so real life, including the Christian life. So refreshing to see. I live an hour and a half north of Toronto, Ontario in a rural area, so understanding much of the way you choose to live.
How precious to share your great grandmother’s special pie. You should do a cookbook of your favourite things. My special treat at Christmas is Scottish Bun. It is a peppery fruit mince within a casing of short crust pastry cooked very slowly. The older it gets the more moorish. So it gets made in November. Such a treat. 🎄
I live vicariously through the two of you and a few other creators. When my parents passed our family sort of lost the glue that binds us. I used to bake, broil and cook a lot. Now I don’t. God bless you both.
It is so sad how families "get lost" after the deaths of the older generations. My grandparents died and the family (6 kids and 15 grandkids) just went on their own way. 😭😭
Same here. I switched to focus on the neighborhood children offering them a winter cookie party. I over decorate … seriously over decorate with 9 trees in the house, a 12 foot tree in the dining room, decorated garland over the doorways, themed books and stuffed animals in the window seats. Remember the reason for the season.
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers Send for Him 46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” Matthew 12:46-50
A little over 20 yrs ago my sons and I were introduced to Broccoli and Cauliflower salad. Every year since they ask me if I'm making it for the holiday's, of course I do. One year I thought I would be funny and say not this year, if looks could have killed that year I surely would have been dead. Have a great holiday!!!
Our family traditions involve a fruitcake (of Scandinavian origin) that is unlike Any other fruitcake I have ever tried. Not all of us make it, but those that do always make extra to give to other family members. We also have a steamed brown bread recipe that my grandmother always made. It involves 3 kinds of flour and the bread is steamed on the stove top in large cans. It is Scrumptious! And last year I started a family tradition with a Persimmon pie. I wanted to come up with something different and I have persimmons readily available every Fall. This year, before Thanksgiving even happened, I had family asking if I was making the pie. Your fruit pie will definitely have to go on my list of pies to make for Christmas (but I may use the second can of pineapple). Excellent video!
My family has a long tradition of Persimmon Spice Cake and Cookies, but not pie! Will you share your recipe? I have 30 Persimmons ripening right now! 🍊🍊
Hi guys, Omgoodness, that pie looks so good. Hubby and I don’t have too many traditional things, as it’s just the two of us but I either make, gingerbread lemon curd trifle or steamed sticky toffee pudding . They are very heavy but oh so delicious and such a treat. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and thanks for bringing me years of enjoyment with your channel. 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this recipe!! There are two reasons. One is that you must have talked about this recipe in a previous video because I bought a graham cracker crust and then I couldn't remember why! ugh Two is when I saw this video today I realized this is why I bought that crust and I am going to make it for Christmas. Merry Christmas!
My grandma would make sweet potatoes pies, home made pie crust. The main thing was she would stack 3 pies together because my grand pa was only allowed 1 slice of pie, so he decided that by stacking them 3 high he was eating only 1 slice. We still do that today because it just became a tradition in the family. Sweet memories.
Thank you for sharing this it reminds me of a very similar fruit salad we used to have. There are a couple traditions we continue with. My family is originally from Dousman Wisconsin, I always have had pickled herring on New Years for good luck in the coming year, and for Christmas we have Stollen.
Aww, so cute! That's great, Kevin great great mom it's smiling! Thanks guys! We have several deserts that we make for easter and Christmas but very labor intensive so most of the time I make it just for Christmas! Now I will pare down a lot because I have diabetis and periferal neoropathy and every time I am not good my feet get very numb! I wish everyone will be on the same page with me so I can easily revers it! Merry Christmas!
Pretty much same recipe as Ambrosia Salad my mom used to make. No pie crust, use mini marshmallows and leave whole don't melt. Add shredded coconut and mandarin orange slices ( we left in the crushed pineapple) .. make ahead because it tastes better after a while. And voila! A yummy yummy dessert/salad
We do a cheese and a meat fondue and a cream cheese covered with shrimp mixed with shrimp cocktail to cover it.. the fondues and shrimp cocktail dip are 3 separate items. It wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without them.
My dad’s birthday is Christmas Day! He got a coconut cake for his birthday every year! My grandmother would buy coconut and grate it and use the coconut water and other fresh ingredients then make 7 minute fluffy icing and decorate with cherries! My dad is 82 and has celiac and I try to make it now for him. It isn’t the same but it is very delicious
For our family, pumpkin pie was the go to dessert. As for food, my father's family was Ukrainian so cabbage rolls were always present at each holiday meal. ❤😊
sounds good! We always look forward to pumpkin pie from a wonderful receipe passed down from my aunt's mother-in-law...and I'm 72 yrs old so you know this receipe has been in the family many years....its not like any pumpkin pie I've ever had anywhere else but so so good!! I think this receipe came from her mother or grandmother also,,,,, but I am definitly going to try your fruit pie...yumm
I must (literally MUST) make a big crockpot full of sweet & sour meatballs. I can't show up at a family gathering without them - they would probably refuse to let me in! For myself, I make a baked parmesan artichoke dip. Not very many other family members like it but hey, more for me!! I used to make a traditional Tom & Jerry batter (passed down from my Wisconsin born grandmother) but since it uses a dozen raw eggs, (which we now know is dangerous), I had to start using pasteurized egg yolks and it's just not the same. It's similar to egg nog but thicker & with more spices. You add hot steamed milk to the egg batter (in each individual cup), this is called the 'Tom' and brandy or rum, added to the Tom is called the 'Jerry' (which some of us leave out but others add alot! lol Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!
Cheese balls and cookies at Christmas is my tradition. I give them as gifts. My kids look forward to them. Your pie looks delicious, thank you for the receipe, I will have to make it.
My Mom always made clam chowder and 2 other soups for Christmas Eve gathering, since everyone arrived at different times. The other soups varied, but we always had the clam chowder.
Traditions are so Wonderful🥰 ThankYou for sharing yours😋 I think I may take it and spin a little - the base sounds amazing!!! But instead of fruit cocktail maybe a couple cans of mandarin oranges🤔
My sister carries on the tradition of refrigerator cheese cake with cherry pie filling on top. I cant eat it & my hubby doesnt like it so it is left to my sister's family to carry on.😊
My favorite dish is a layered salad topped with sour cream/mayonaise/cream cheese whipped topping. Layers are chopped lettuce, chopped boiled eggs,cooked peas, chopped celery, chopped crispy bacon and cheddar cheese layers. Sprinkle cheese and bacon on top. Yum.. Thank you for this desert idea.
Our family has "The Blueberry Thing." (Nobody could remember the name of it & my brother kept asking for that bluberry thing! 😂) It's sorta a cheesecake type dessert we've been making since I was a little kid. Just this Thanksgiving, I passed the recipe on to my to my eldest son & daughter in law. It's nice knowing our traditions will keep going on & my granddaughter will be learning to make it too.
this is such a neat recipe to try! growing up we would alternate desserts for Christmas between mincemeat pie and plum pudding. Now we just make the plum pudding. Also NOT a health food and thankfully only once a year. I think it takes that long to burn off
This looks so good! My family always make a Cranberry Salad, actually 2 kinds. My favorite has cranberries, oranges, and apples ground up with Raspberry jello added and a little sugar. It's so good! It was my dad's favorite and he passed away earlier this year. So definitely missing him over the holidays but definitely making this and enjoying it in his memory. 😋 MERRY CHRISTMAS Kevin and Sara!
I like this recipe because unlike my normal pudding pie recipes, would be very easy to create a keto version! Almond flour crust, xylitol/Max Mallow marshmallows, and maybe fresh or frozen berries? Lots of ideas and possibilities here for variations. We too take a keto break most holidays, but I usually add in some "close enough" keto options so we don't go completely rogue. Thanks for sharing!
Our must haves for Thanksgiving and Christmas are strawberry pretzel salad and Mom's sweet potato biscuits. I've been following a Keto lifestyle since January and lost 37 lbs but did have a small amount of each for Thanksgiving.
My husband and enjoy watching your channel and the Monday night livestream. I will have to give your fruit pie a try. Our family has made suet pudding for Christmas as a tradition . It’s a recipe that came from my ancestors in England! Most definitely an acquired taste. As a child I wasn’t fond of it, but as an adult I look forward to it each year! Sending Christmas blessings to you both! 🎄
❤thanks for reminding me of this pie ..I think we made it in Home Economics class in the early 70s...it is very good! Like to have some now! Also fruit cocktail cake is simple and delicious!❤Lord Jesus come quickly ❤
We do Pumpkin and sweet potato pies at Thanksgiving, and my Mother's red velvet cake with the Waldorf cooked icing, it tastes like whipped cream and fresh coconut cake with whipped cream icing for Christmas. We have been eating clean for 3 years now and we only indulge in feasting all the things at those 2 holidays, all the carbs and sugars and January we start fasting and eating clean again.
I always make an Italian cheesecake at Christmas. Thanks for another great recipe. Merry Christmas to both of you and your family. Love the name of your town. 😊
I know the cake too, but in my recipe I add dissolved gelatine to the whipped cream and powdered sugar. We had this cake at home for birthdays. Where did your great grandmother come from? You also got the recipe for elderflower in pancake batter from her. I know those recipes too. My family comes from Bohemia and Transylvania.
Normally every year without fail I make chocolate cream pie, it was my grandmother's recipe. I make one for our family for Thanksgiving and Christmas day and another for my MIL to take home to her sister and brother in law. This year was a little different, my husband and I moved from Texas to Missouri so no pie for my precious MIL. She was sad, and it really felt strange to only make one pie. Maybe next year she can venture up here for Thanksgiving.
Sounds yummy! My mom used to make the highest, most gorgeous peppermint meringues. I managed it once. Failed 3 times after that and gave it up. Every time I added the peppermint all the air whooshed out of the meringue. That was the end of that!
Hubby makes peppermint patties every year for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. All my traditions involved little German mennonite cookies called pfeffernusse. My sister and I would each make 2 or 3 different recipes varieties of them and trade half our 'stash' some could enjoy all the variations...alas, we both are gluten Intolerant now and I haven't worked on trying to make a gluten free version.
Hello! I live in Louisiana and our Christmas tradition for many years now is gumbo. We have gumbo with our family and we eat on a.l day on Christmas. It's great comfort food!
How fun! Looks delicious. I quite enjoyed the video and smiled the entire time! I make a Vinarterta (6 layer cake with prune filling) most years - It was something my Grandmother made every year. And of course there is Christmas Cake - mostly light, but on occasion Dark Christmas Cake (my grandmother liked it). Christmas eve is always perogies, cabbage rolls and ham as part of the meal. Good video!
Our holiday breakfast tradition is homemade pierogis The tradition started with my great grandmother who came over from Poland. As a kid she always had them ready for us to eat when we came to visit. I was always so excited to have them. Thanks for sharing your tradition and recipe.
That looks delicious! A few family traditions are Pumpkin cookies and apple pie is a must on thanksgiving. Snowball surprise cookies and anisette cake for Christmas.
Out tradition is baklava it takes some work but its worth it. I love these pies they ease of preparing is awesome I will definitely be trying your recipe. Thanks for sharing I believe traditions are so important. Merry Christmas 💜🙏🏼
There was a recipe for a wrapped Fruit Cake that involved "soaked", liquor soaked cheesecloth, and several days or weeks to finish. This wasn't the old traditional fruit cake. It seemed lighter in texture. I have wanted this recipe for years. It makes a wonderful gift. I don't know if the liquor is rum or not. IF ANYONE has a recipe like this and is willing to share the recipe or a LINK to the recipe, it would be greatly appreciated ! GOD bless
Travel better with better coffee. Head to aeropress.com/lth and save 20% off your order! Thanks to AeroPress for sponsoring today’s video!
The standard recipe for a good cup of coffee is so wrong.
I've been using the Aeropress for many years. I also roast my own coffee, which is Ethiopian coffee that I get locally from an Ethiopian store here in Ottawa, Canada. You loose 20% of the weight in roasting but it still comes out to $6.00 US per pound and it's by far the best coffee I have ever had.
Kevin and Sarah do you think a French press would be the same thing as an aeropress?
OMG….thank you so much! My grandmother and mom made this all the time when I was a child and I never got the recipe before they passed. I’ve tried to make it by my memories several times but it never turned out. I haven’t had this for over 50 years and can’t wait to make it for my grandchildren. It’s the marshmallows!!!! I didn’t know that there is marshmallows in it. Thanks again, makes me feel closer to them both and brings back great childhood memories 🥲❤
I love making all kinds of Christmas goodies! I also enjoy following Ruthann Zimmerman!
My grandmother would make a from scratch coconut cake each Christmas. Processing a fresh coconut and all! It was a labor of love for her.
Y'all this is such an old recipe! My sweet mother in law would make this filling-with the crushed pineapple-lol; but instead of putting in a graham cracker crust, she would pour it into clean, empty, 20 oz fruit cans lined with plastic wrap, and then froze it!

This reminds me of my grandmother's fruit salad. She put fruit cocktail and mandarin oranges, sliced bannana, sliced grapes ( she picked out the one in the cocktail) and diced apples in whipped cream.
I make fruit salad also. I add walnuts and skip the apples. May try the pie this year.
My mom passed away this July at 92, and when I first made her a pineapple cream pie almost 30 years ago, she loved it, so I made 2 every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is just 1/4 c powdered sugar mixed in with 1 block of cream cheese, fold in whipped cream, then fold in pineapple tidbits (drained) and the Graham cracker crust. It is so light and fluffy and delicious and a tradition the whole family insists on having every year! And never any left-overs😢.
I also made it with frozen strawberries, and it's just as delicious, i usually make that one for a summer get together.
I will be trying your recipe with fruit cocktail this christmas so thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks for sharing your recipe. There is a similar dessert that my Mom always used for catering (and it was also always requested for repeat events).

That sounds tasty!
I live vicariously through the two of you and a few other creators. When my parents passed our family sort of lost the glue that binds us. I used to bake, broil and cook a lot. Now I don’t. God bless you both.

Quality control is sooooo important. Thank you Kevin for assisting with this vital task. 😁
😂 responsibility can be tasty. 👍
Sure looks very sweet! Our tradition since the early 70’s is a bread dressing made the chestnuts. Sooo good!
Our family has a few recipes that our family makes every Thanksgiving and Christmas. One we call Christmas Slush and the other is Holiday Jello.
My Swiss great grandmother made a Christmas fruit bread that has been passed down to my mother and now to me. Always a treat for the holidays.
My grandma would make sweet potatoes pies, home made pie crust.

Aww, so cute! That's great, Kevin great great mom it's smiling! Thanks guys! We have several deserts that we make for easter and Christmas but very labor intensive so most of the time I make it just for Christmas! Now I will pare down a lot because I have diabetis and periferal neoropathy and every time I am not good my feet get very numb! I wish everyone will be on the same page with me so I can easily revers it! Merry Christmas!
I will probably be making them...thanks for sharing it...😊
Pretty much same recipe as Ambrosia Salad my mom used to make. No pie crust, use mini marshmallows and leave whole don't melt. Add shredded coconut and mandarin orange slices ( we left in the crushed pineapple) .. make ahead because it tastes better after a while. And voila! A yummy yummy dessert/salad
Ambrosia was a childhood favorite for me. It seemed so elegant. Did your mother make the pistachio pudding salad as well?
Thta's what my Mom made, too!
We do a cheese and a meat fondue and a cream cheese covered with shrimp mixed with shrimp cocktail to cover it.. the fondues and shrimp cocktail dip are 3 separate items. It wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without them.
My dad’s birthday is Christmas Day! He got a coconut cake for his birthday every year! My grandmother would buy coconut and grate it and use the coconut water and other fresh ingredients then make 7 minute fluffy icing and decorate with cherries! My dad is 82 and has celiac and I try to make it now for him. It isn’t the same but it is very delicious
We are from Minnesota and it wouldn't be christmas without lefse. It truly is a special family affair making it.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy those traditions!
LOVE my Aeropress!!!!❤❤
I think my momma would ❤this ! Thanks for sharing a family recipe to try out with our family. 💕😊😋
For our family, pumpkin pie was the go to dessert. As for food, my father's family was Ukrainian so cabbage rolls were always present at each holiday meal. ❤😊
Kevin, great new mustache chops! ❤
sounds good! We always look forward to pumpkin pie from a wonderful receipe passed down from my aunt's mother-in-law...and I'm 72 yrs old so you know this receipe has been in the family many years....its not like any pumpkin pie I've ever had anywhere else but so so good!! I think this receipe came from her mother or grandmother also,,,,, but I am definitly going to try your fruit pie...yumm
Hello from TN! Could you share the pumpkin pie recipe? I would appreciate it. GOD bless
Our must haves for Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter family gatherings include cheese grits and Sour Cream Raisin Pie.
Can't wait to try this!
I must (literally MUST) make a big crockpot full of sweet & sour meatballs. I can't show up at a family gathering without them - they would probably refuse to let me in!
For myself, I make a baked parmesan artichoke dip. Not very many other family members like it but hey, more for me!!
I used to make a traditional Tom & Jerry batter (passed down from my Wisconsin born grandmother) but since it uses a dozen raw eggs, (which we now know is dangerous), I had to start using pasteurized egg yolks and it's just not the same. It's similar to egg nog but thicker & with more spices.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!
Try using quail eggs if you are able to find them. You can't get salmonella from quail eggs.
Cheese balls and cookies at Christmas is my tradition. I give them as gifts. My kids look forward to them.
Your pie looks delicious, thank you for the receipe, I will have to make it.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
That sounds like something I would like to make. Traditional in our family is to have clam chowder at Christmas dinner.
My Mom always made clam chowder and 2 other soups for Christmas Eve gathering, since everyone arrived at different times. The other soups varied, but we always had the clam chowder.
If you like coconut, coconut would be absolutely delicious in that pie, too!! I'm using this recipe! Thanks!!
Traditions are so Wonderful🥰 ThankYou for sharing yours😋 I think I may take it and spin a little - the base sounds amazing!!! But instead of fruit cocktail maybe a couple cans of mandarin oranges🤔
My dad’s favorite holiday pie is custard (baked egg custard) with fresh ground nutmeg on top! Yum! 😋
My family always made truffle with ovenproof rum in it and jelly custard coconut sponge jam rolls then whip cream and crushed nuts on top
My sister carries on the tradition of refrigerator cheese cake with cherry pie filling on top. I cant eat it & my hubby doesnt like it so it is left to my sister's family to carry on.😊
Looks yummy!
My favorite dish is a layered salad topped with sour cream/mayonaise/cream cheese whipped topping. Layers are chopped lettuce, chopped boiled eggs,cooked peas, chopped celery, chopped crispy bacon and cheddar cheese layers. Sprinkle cheese and bacon on top. Yum.. Thank you for this desert idea.

My husband is from st Louis, so ooy gooey butter cake is always a part of holidays or celebration days/meals!!
Ginger Lace cookies, 5 cup salad and Streusal topped sweet potatoes.
Looks so delicious ❤❤😊😊
This looks so good! My family always make a Cranberry Salad, actually 2 kinds. My favorite has cranberries, oranges, and apples ground up with Raspberry jello added and a little sugar. It's so good!

Greenbean casserole is a must!!!!!
We do Pumpkin and sweet potato pies at Thanksgiving, and my Mother's red velvet cake with the Waldorf cooked icing, it tastes like whipped cream and fresh coconut cake with whipped cream icing for Christmas. We have been eating clean for 3 years now and we only indulge in feasting all the things at those 2 holidays, all the carbs and sugars and January we start fasting and eating clean again.
Thanks for the recipe. Will try this.
I always have to make my sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!!!
I always make an Italian cheesecake at Christmas. Thanks for another great recipe. Merry Christmas to both of you and your family. Love the name of your town. 😊
Our fav is Grapefruit pie about the same but substitute the fruit. with coconut on top
I know the cake too, but in my recipe I add dissolved gelatine to the whipped cream and powdered sugar. We had this cake at home for birthdays. Where did your great grandmother come from? You also got the recipe for elderflower in pancake batter from her. I know those recipes too. My family comes from Bohemia and Transylvania.
Looks yummy! Merry Christmas and God's blessings over you and your family
Normally every year without fail I make chocolate cream pie, it was my grandmother's recipe. I make one for our family for Thanksgiving and Christmas day and another for my MIL to take home to her sister and brother in law. This year was a little different, my husband and I moved from Texas to Missouri so no pie for my precious MIL. She was sad, and it really felt strange to only make one pie. Maybe next year she can venture up here for Thanksgiving.
Never had this. Will try it!
I'm missing the recipe...thanks for sharing!
Just updated. ☺️ The recipe is now in the description box!
I love your hair! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
This looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Family traditions are great!
Sounds yummy! My mom used to make the highest, most gorgeous peppermint meringues. I managed it once. Failed 3 times after that and gave it up. Every time I added the peppermint all the air whooshed out of the meringue. That was the end of that!
Hubby makes peppermint patties every year for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. All my traditions involved little German mennonite cookies called pfeffernusse. My sister and I would each make 2 or 3 different recipes varieties of them and trade half our 'stash' some could enjoy all the variations...alas, we both are gluten Intolerant now and I haven't worked on trying to make a gluten free version.
pumpkin pie cake for thanksgiving and pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese frosting rolled in it. Love love love both recipes.
Everyone looks forward to my aunt's Corn Pudding on the holidays.
I make my grandma’s corn pudding
Hello! I live in Louisiana and our Christmas tradition for many years now is gumbo. We have gumbo with our family and we eat on a.l day on Christmas. It's great comfort food!
On Christmas Eve, dessert is either mixed berry trifle, or steamed pumpkin pudding with maple custard sauce.
Prune filled buns are a long lived tradition in our family from my mom's side. She was of Czechoslovakia descent
Kolache!
@kathyaakananabluebird is that the name for them? Thanks for letting me know! I will have to tell my family 😊
I may have to comb the coments and do a recipe book!
I have to always make an eclair cake. And buckeyes.
Kevin was eyeballing that last bite of pie really hard. I gotta know. Did ya’ll fight over it? 😂
Cherry and blueberry cream cheese pies for both holidays even though a few people in the family are diabetic.
How fun! Looks delicious. I quite enjoyed the video and smiled the entire time! I make a Vinarterta (6 layer cake with prune filling) most years - It was something my Grandmother made every year. And of course there is Christmas Cake - mostly light, but on occasion Dark Christmas Cake (my grandmother liked it). Christmas eve is always perogies, cabbage rolls and ham as part of the meal. Good video!
Looks delicious! ❤
Our holiday breakfast tradition is homemade pierogis The tradition started with my great grandmother who came over from Poland. As a kid she always had them ready for us to eat when we came to visit. I was always so excited to have them. Thanks for sharing your tradition and recipe.
I love pierogis, what a great idea!
Been using Aeropress now for 8 years!Love it for my lattes!
The pie looks delicious!Gonna make it but use a can of pineapple.
That looks delicious! A few family traditions are Pumpkin cookies and apple pie is a must on thanksgiving. Snowball surprise cookies and anisette cake for Christmas.

Your pie sounds delicious. Our tradition is grandmother's cranberry salad recile

There was a recipe for a wrapped Fruit Cake that involved "soaked", liquor soaked cheesecloth, and several days or weeks to finish. This wasn't the old traditional fruit cake. It seemed lighter in texture. I have wanted this recipe for years. It makes a wonderful gift. I don't know if the liquor is rum or not. IF ANYONE has a recipe like this and is willing to share the recipe or a LINK to the recipe, it would be greatly appreciated ! GOD bless
Walnut Rugelach - a traditional nut cookie made with cream cheese dough. Perogies and many other polish dishes. That looks refreshing!
I’ll have to try it but I think I’ll use the pineapple I love pineapple! Our tradition is Rummegrout! (Sp).
Love the smiles. I make a fruit salad very similar to
