One thing that brings everyone together around the holidays is the FOOD! Here the Sourcebooks Holiday authors share their favorite Christmas Recipes:

Carolyn Brown’s Favorite Christmas Recipe:
A pecan pie plays a big part of any of our holiday meals: Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas. We can’t even have a family gathering without pecan pie and we have one at the beach in Florida. Natalie made several in The Cowboy’s Christmas Baby and it played a big part in the story when the neighbor’s horse stuck his head in the open window and helped himself to it. So Merry Christmas to all my readers and when you serve the pecan pie, don’t tell anyone how easy it is, just dust some flour on your face and let them think you slaved for hours over it.
PECAN PIE
1 unbaked 9 inch deep dish pie shell (frozen or homemade from your favorite recipe)
Mix together:
2 T. melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup of dark Karo syrup (do not substitute any other brand)
3 eggs
1 ½ cups of pecans, chopped fine
Pour into the pie shell and bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. This does tend to boil over so to save having to clean the oven set it on a cookie sheet. Let cool and serve.
'Tis the season for...
A pistol-totin' woman who's no angel
A tough rancher who doesn't believe in miracles
Love that warms the coldest nights
After a year in Kuwait, Lucas Allen can't wait to get back to his ranch for Christmas and meet his gorgeous Internet pal in person.
When he pulls in, there's Natalie Clark right in his front yard with a pink pistol in her hand and a dead coyote at her feet.
Lucas is unfazed. But wait... is that a BABY in her arms?

Grace Burrowes
Grace Burrowes’ Favorite Christmas Recipe:I grew up among six other siblings, and at the holidays the household population could swell with relatives, shirt tail cousins, and stray graduates students from my dad’s department at the university. Sheer numbers meant we had few formal meals, with the Christmas turkey being the exception.
From that environment, I became a single parent with one child, and again, numbers—in a different way—weighed against a lot of fancy eating at the holidays.
And yet, there’s one combination I do associate with the holidays, a simple one that makes me happy every time I come across it, and the recipe is as follows:
- Take one chilly day with at least six inches of snow on the ground.
- Add three or four happy people and one toboggan.
- Find a medium hill with some steepness near the top, bundle everybody up, and have them lug the toboggan to the top of the hill.
- Send everybody down the hill on the toboggan at least several times, the more laughing, squealing and singing the better.
- When fingers and noses are just beginning to get numb, take the entire crew home.
- Ply them with hot chocolate and hot buttered popcorn, sing a few Christmas carols, and promise to repeat as necessary to thoroughly enjoy the winter weather, and the friendships we can renew most easily at the holidays.
Variations on this recipe include ice skating (in the event snow, a toboggan or a hill are not available), or rollerskating, for when it’s just too cold to be out for long. Perhaps your family has a similar recipe or two stashed among its holiday traditions?
The only unmarried Windham sibling, Lady Jenny would not mind so very much taking care of her parents, if only she could study art in Paris for a few years first. Jenny longs for both an artistic challenge, and for a small taste of the passion life holds for those with the courage to seize it. Lord Elijah Harrington arrives to the Windham household to spend the Yule season painting portraits commissioned by Their Graces, and Jenny thinks she’s met not only a kindred spirit, but a man she might love. Alas, for Jenny—and Elijah—honor has obligated him elsewhere, and while ‘tis the season to be merry, for Jenny and Elijah it will take a miracle to bring them their happily ever after.

Terry SpearTerry Spear’s Favorite Christmas Recipe:
I’m a plain cook. Just the facts, ma'am. Or…just the minimal kind of cooking—turkey, gravy, potatoes, asparagus, etc. We did make a classic version of the cheesecake—though it was from an old German recipe carried down through the family, and I couldn't find it. So here's very much what it was like. Love the combination of the sweetened cream cheese with the sour cream top. Mom would cover it in red or green cherries that had some kind of glaze over them. But I loved mine plain. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/classic-cheesecake-recipe2/index.html
Ingredients
Crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch fine salt
Filling:
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups sour cream
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla paste (see cook's note) or extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Topping:
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Berries, optional
Directions
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
For the crust: Melt the butter, covered in the microwave, in a medium microwave safe bowl, or a saucepan. Brush a 9-inch springform pan with some of the butter. Stir the remaining butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt. Press the crumb mixture over the bottom of the pan, taking care to get the crust evenly into the edges. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool. Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the pan with foil and put in a roasting pan.
For the filling: Beat the cream cheese on medium speed with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat just until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl and beaters as needed. Slowly beat in the sour cream, then eggs, vanilla and both citrus zests; take care not to over whip. Pour into the cooled crust.
Bring a medium saucepan or kettle of water to a boil. Gently place the roasting pan in the oven (don't pull the rack out of the oven). Pour in enough hot water to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan. Bake the cheesecake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes—the outside of the cake will set but the center will still be loose.
For the topping: Stir together the sour cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread over the top of the cooked cheesecake and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Turn the oven off, cook the cheesecake in the residual heat in the oven for about1 hour. This gentle finish minimizes the risk of the dreaded crack in your cheesecake.
Remove cheesecake from the roasting pan to a rack. Run a knife around the edges and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
Bring cheesecake to room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Dip a knife in warm water, wipe dry before slicing each piece. Serve with berries, if desired.
Navy SEAL Bjornolf Jorgenson and undercover operative Anna Johnson have a rocky beginning at their first meeting all to do with pantyhose and tying her to a bed after some heavy-duty sparring, and him declaring she has mighty fine killer knees. Christmas is coming but thoughts of sugar plum fairies and kissing under the mistletoe isn’t something these two gray werewolves have in mind when they're tasked to be the newlyweds preparing for Christmas while investigating a SEAL’s murder at a Christmas Tree farm.
Neither care about Christmas, sharing gifts, and all the traditions that go along with the season since neither enjoyed the holiday while growing up. But as they battle each other as to what makes for the perfect newly married couple’s first Christmas, they learn that a little Christmas cheer can become so much more, especially if they can take down a SEAL’s killer before they become his next target.

Juliana StoneJuliana Stone’s Favorite Christmas Recipe:
Alright, I’ve got to be honest with you people. I don’t like to bake so whenever I need something really good, I call my mom. Still. After all this time! I do however enjoying cooking and there are a few staples I make every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I love sweet potato. LOVE! So I always make these sweet potato balls! And I don’t follow a recipe, so this is just how I make them!
- Peel and then boil sweet potatoes. I usually do about 4 big ones.
- Add Sugar to the water while they boil.
- Once cooled, add some butter and brown sugar and mash them. Make sure they’re drained well and don’t add too much butter.
- Crush Corn Flakes in bowl
- Scoop out the sweet potatoes and roll them into a ball, then coat them wit the crushed corn flakes.
- Place them on a cookie sheet and put in the oven (around 250) just long enough for the corn flakes to become golden.
- They’re ready to serve and are really, really yummy!
In the small town of Crystal Lake, Christmas is a time for sledding, hot chocolate, and cozying up to the fire with those you love. For Jake Edwards, it’s also time to come home and face his past. He thought there would never be anything harder than losing his brother. Turns out there is: falling in love with his brother’s widow, Raine.
Ever since they were little, Jesse was the Edwards brother who was always there for her, and Jake was the one who knew just how to push her buttons. Raine can’t imagine a life without them, which is why it was doubly decimating when Jake left town after his brother’s sudden death. Now he’s back and she doesn’t know whether to be mad or thrilled. Maybe both. Maybe it will be the perfect chance for both of them to finally find happiness again.

I love to eat Posole at the holidays!! Mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten Posole but with that many mmmm's, it must be good!
Deletei love to eat a dessert we can find only around christmas " bûche" there are some baked but i prefer those in ice cream^^
ReplyDeletethank you and sourcebook for opening this to international!
Oh, darlin', anything that has ice cream involved has to be good. Good luck on the drawing!
DeleteI love eating Italian food, specially lasagne <3
ReplyDeleteJenna O
Oh, now, I can get into some lasagna...my son-in-law is a great chef and his secret recipe is wonderful!
DeleteWow I can't wait to cook my favorite holiday goody, buttermilk pie! Easy recipe that makes 2 pies at a time! Haven't found anyone who doesn't love it! Also my copper penny salad. My grandmother taught me how to make it and it's so good with turkey and dressing.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter makes buttermilk pie but two won't even begin to serve her big family! They all love it!
DeleteOh no 2 wouldn't last a day in this house! I usually make about 12. I have family members who ask for them for Christmas gifts. I also do the Feed the Homeless at our local diner where I usually take 4-6 of them. This is why I gain so much weight during the holidays.
DeleteYOU are a wonderful person to do all that. And those bathroom scales LIE at the holidays. Put them in the closet to punish them! By spring, they'll understand and change their ways.
DeleteI love ham, but also corn casserole.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, ham!!! Love corn casserole, too!
DeleteItalian Food of all kinds
ReplyDeleteI've considered an Italian Christmas but so far my southern breed and southern born kids aren't on the wagon with me.
DeleteBaked mac and cheese and then chocolate cream pie
ReplyDeleteI'm getting hungry just thinking about baked mac and cheese. Haven't had it in years.
DeleteLove eating any kind of food on thanksgiving!! Favorite holiday!!
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite holiday, too, Susan. The whole family comes home and there's enough noise to raise the roof, food to feed an army, and laughter to keep us going for a few more months as we make precious memories.
DeleteAround our house, Jello cookies are the favorite. Yep, Jello! They're easy to make, which is a good thing because we go through a lot of them from Thanksgiving to New Year's! Luckily, my kids are old enough to work the cookie press now (finally bought a 2nd one last year), so I get them to help me make up cookies.
ReplyDeleteI bet those are those colored sugar cookies that melt in your mouth, aren't they? Can I come to your house this year?
DeleteI love eating my mom's cooked food :)
ReplyDeleteThat brings memories of when my mama was alive and able to have the family to her house at Thanksgiving. Her cornbread dressing was simply the best. I've never been able to master the exact way she made it.
DeleteI love turkey and stuffing sandwiches with cranberries and mayo. It's almost impossible to do Gluten Free so I often settle for just the stuffing and turkey with cran.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy...I bet it would be good stuffed inside leftover yeast rolls that are a staple for our holiday meal. Making a mental note to try it!
DeleteI love pumpkin pie. So good, and now I want a piece just thinking about it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the giveaway. I'd love the chance to win, so fingers crossed. :-)
Pumpkin pie...I think I just gained three pounds just thinking about it.
DeleteMy mom makes a wonderful sugar-free cheesecake for me during the holidays. YUM! michelle_willms@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteCheesecake, sugar free or loaded, plain or any kind of toppings or swirls...you can't go wrong with that!
DeleteI love your Pecan Pie receipe, and although this is one pie I have never tried to bake myself, I usually buy them, I think I can give this one a try. I make my Pumpkin Bread at the holiday times. I give them out to friends and families in the good baskets I make for them for Christmas.
ReplyDeletePecan pie is so easy...I promise! And folks will think you are a pro! We make pumpkin bread, too and our family loves it!
DeleteChocolate chess pie
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good!
DeleteI love to make Plum pudding for Christmas, that is a favorite in our house.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm gaining pounds upon pounds just reading these comments. I've never had plum pudding but it sounds scrumptious!
DeleteItalian Food of all kinds
ReplyDeleteLucas would love you...he really likes lasagna and Natalie makes a mean dish of it!
DeleteI used to love my mamas homemade fudge! I don't know why she usually only made it at Christmas but she did. But she has alzheimers so unfortunately she doesn't cook anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy mama only made it at Christmas and that just made it that much more special. I even liked it before they made it with marshmallow crème and after it set for a week, it started to get sugary!
DeleteI LOVE the holidays and one of the main reasons for that are the delicious meals! I just love that we have traditional fish soup, turkey with apple sauce and mashed potatoes, different desserts like salty caramel apple tarte, etc.
ReplyDeleteAwe fish soup? Haven't made good old New England clam chowder in years...must get out the recipe!
DeleteI'm not a big fan of the holidays for the most part. My partner of 41 years is a turkey (born 11/26) so that becomes her birthday party.. The house fills up with our kids, some relatives, and extended family (thankfully many of them bring food with them to add to the buffet). We don't do X-mas at all.. we have Chanukah so I stock up on canola oil, 20lbs of potatoes, apple sauce and sour cream. We spend the night before the holiday in the kitchen with 3 large fry pans and cook till the taters are used up.
ReplyDeleteThe kids come on the first Sunday in the holiday and we hand over the loot (8 grandchildren) and then sit down to pig out. The leftovers get wrapped up and my partner takes them to work the next day. It's all just too much work for me.
That sounds like so much fun...my daughter was born on Thanksgiving (Nov. 25) so we do the birthday/Thanksgiving combo every year as well.
DeleteChristmas cookies. There are certain cookies we only make for Christmas. Like Kolacky. It was my grandma's recipe. It takes about 4 hours to make a batch but they are so worth it. We fill ours with apricot or nut.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Kolacky but it sounds scrumptious. Anything that has apricots or nuts in it has to be good!
DeleteChristmas cut out cookies are my favorite things to eat.
ReplyDeleteI love to read Christmas books during the holiday's.
Bless your heart...Natalie and Lucas would just love for you to read their Christmas story. And I do believe there's cookies mentioned in the book!
DeleteI make cut-out sugar cookies every year with my boys, as well as chocolate crinkle (snow-on-the-mountain) cookies and chocolate kiss peanut butter cookies. It wouldn't be Christmas without my cookies. lol
ReplyDeleteCookie along with maple iced donuts are my weakness! Love, love sugar cookies!
DeleteAnd that should say cookies, not cookie...no one in their right mind could eat just one cookie!
Deletepumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteYes, with or without whipped cream. In a graham shell or in a baked one. You can't go wrong with pumpkin pie!
DeleteTurkey, cranberry sauce and home made mash potatoes.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway thanks
Penney
And make enough so there can be leftovers for a couple of days, right?
DeleteChristmas cookies! We used to make a variety - I want to get back to doing that this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm making up my list already to make cookies this year to give as gifts! Pecan sandies are good in our part of the country!
DeleteMy mom's sugar cookies which she only makes at Christmas :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat makes them very special, doesn't it?
DeleteI love ALL holiday food. LOL I think dips and spreads are my favorite-- anything cheesy, especially:)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I forgot about that bacon flavored, smoky vegetable dip. I must get the recipe out!
DeleteI love pumpkin pies with lots of whipped cream on top and eggnog.
ReplyDeleteHusband brought in the first quart of eggnog just last evening...I'm not even going to look at the calories or fat content.
DeleteI love ham and sugar cookies! Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteJenalang(at)live(dot)com
Natalie and Lucas will agree with you on both ham and cookies! I'm thinking Henry will most likely put in his two cents, too!
DeleteI enjoy the desserts, such as cheesecake and pastries.
ReplyDeleteSomeday, I'm going to bypass all the food and just eat desserts...and then I'll buzz around on a sugar high and the grandkids will think I've lost my mind!
DeleteSince I'm a Type 1 diabetic I might not be able to eat them but I love making sprintz cookies for my grandchildren! When my own sons were young they always looked forward tot he holidays and helping me make them and now it's a fun time making them with my grandchildren as well.
ReplyDeleteIt takes me back to my own childhood and being in my Grandmother's kitchen helping her make them as special Christmas treats and baking them in her Jewel gas stove. It was always an adventure with a special treat when they were finally ready and I got to pick my favorites to decorate just like I do today with my own grandchildren!
Memories are as good as the cookies, aren't they? What fun thinking about making them with your grandmother and then with your sons and now with your grandchildren. Life is good!
DeleteI like pumpkin pies. it is the only time of year that I eat them.
ReplyDeleteJWIsley(at)aol(dot)com
Me, too...it's the only time I cook them or eat them so they're very special.
DeleteI love peppermint and gingerbread for the holidays. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, oh! We need to get the gingerbread made soon. Our recipe gets better and better as it "ripens"!
DeleteI will always say cheesecake!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will always eat cheesecake so we'll make a good pair!
DeleteMy favorite is the green bean casserole with extra french fried onions.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had that in years. Maybe it should go back on the menu this year and we'll get the grandkids to eat their vegetables!
DeleteMy aunt Pauline always makes pfeifferneuse cookies at the holidays using a very old family recipe. They are a different type of cookie but yummy! My family would always open presents on Christmas Eve and we'd have a big pot of soup and tasty bread to eat. My dad is gone now and my mom is in a nursing home so the holidays are much different for me, but I still have fond memories!
ReplyDeleteMemories are so precious as we get older! I had those kind of cookies once and I loved them, but then I don't think I've ever met a cookie I didn't like! LOL
DeleteI like the ham and all the different pies.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now it's officially time to kick off the holidays with all this talk of great food.
DeleteI love cranberries! so any dessert with delicious cranberries is a real holiday special!
ReplyDeleteMuffins and cheesecake! Thank you for making your great giveaway of a set of four books available to Canadian readers too!
Yes, cranberries. That wonderful recipe that has cranberries and grated orange peel and pecans! Or cranberry nut quick bread slathered with cream cheese. Aren't we glad that holiday food doesn't have fat grams or calories? LOL! Who am I kidding? Just reading through all these comments has caused my bathroom scales to start groaning.
DeleteI make this really delicious potato casserole!
ReplyDeleteSounds absolutely wonderful!
DeletePumpkin pie, buckeyes and sour cream pound cake. I am noticing a trend with the sweets, but they are the best part holiday time.
ReplyDeleteSour cream pound cake...one of my daughter's favorites.
DeleteI eat pretty much any cookie, especially homemade sugar cookies. I also eat a lot of fudge.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Aunt Bill's Candy...it's a browned sugar fudge that calls for a whole quart of pecans. Fantastic!
DeleteI know it's at the bottom of the holiday food chain, but I love my fruit cake, I make it right after Thanksgiving, cover it in cheesecloth, then I brush it everyday with apple brandy. Mmmmm
ReplyDeleteIt isn't the holidays (starting with Halloween and my birthday the day after), without pumpkin pie. I always have that instead of cake for my birthday, and no Thanksgiving or Christmas would be complete without my pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the nanaimo bars that we make for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteAll the typical holiday fare: pies, dips, cheeses and sausages, etc are important but the one item that makes the holidays for me is fudge. I dont even have to eat a lot of it, but I dont feel like I can get in the spirit of Christmas with making at least one batch. Don't tell anyone, but I use the basic recipe on the back of marshmallow creme containers. Sometimes I'll add raspberry flavoring and I always add a few extra marshmallows.
ReplyDeleteI love scalloped potatoes. It was always a treat when I was younger so I always looked forward to the holidays when I knew it was going to be made!
ReplyDeleteMy Mother's Port Wine Trifle is something rather special.
ReplyDeleteOmg look at these recipes! Wonderful! My favorite Holiday recipe is my brothers roast. He's a wonderful cook! And my sisters in laws cookies!
ReplyDeleteMy mom and brother's cooking. I never do the cooking for the holidays but they both do. Usually it is just my brother and he makes a feast. There would be foods that aren't even consider holiday food. Chow mein, fried rice, egg rolls, spring rolls, bbq ribs, buffalo wings, lemonade, and cookies.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving & Christmas are my favorite food holidays. I love the Turkey, Green Bean Casserole, and Pumpkin Pie. I also love a good Relish Tray and a Homemade Cheesecake. I am totally stealing Terry Spear's recipe for it.
ReplyDeleteI have always Christmas cookies. Love making (and eating) butter cookies, ginger-spiced cookies and bread...also love drinking spiced (and spiked) eggnog!
ReplyDeleteOh I love turkey with cranberry sauce and sugar cookies for dessert. Yum, now I'm starting to feel hungry!!
ReplyDeleteGingersnaps have been an absolute favorite of mine since childhood. Sadly I have some tummy issues now & need to limit my sugar intake... Thinking about making treats with fruit this year, to have that sugar and spice feel & mind my health :) I always liked to experiment with new dishes for special occasions and it will be a lot of fun to try things out before December 25.
ReplyDeleteAll the yummy things we don't normally make...sugar cookies, pumpkin EVERYthing (pie, cookies, muffins)... and around the holidays is pretty much the only time I drink and I enjoy some spiced cider with rum... yum!
ReplyDeleteHam, apple cider, corn casserole, anything pumpkin, and egg nog with Kahlua. You know, all the yummy things I don't eat during the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteBanana Pudding from my grandmother's recipe
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
Pumpkin Pie! Mmmm.... I just got into baking and this year, I'm going to make Apple Cider cupcakes with Salted Caramel buttercream! It'll be delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Any type of fudge, eggnog, and pumpkin pie.
ReplyDeletePecan pie and fudge :D
