Can you believe it? We’re already in the fourth day of the MomDot Christmas Party and the fun is just getting started.  So far we’ve learned about each other’s families, our traditions, and our shopping habits. So what’s left to talk about? One of my favorite subjects – FOOD!!!!  Today’s topic is:

What is your favorite Holiday recipe, describe your Holiday table, biggest holiday cooking disaster.

Hmm….Well I am still lucky (at least I think it’s lucky) enough to not really be in charge of the cooking when it comes to the holidays.  I’m still able to just show up to most family occasions.  I do have one food responsibility though for all family holidays – the banana pudding.  I’m not sure where all of you readers are from, but if any of you are southern girls, then you know that no holiday meal is complete without the ‘nana pudding.  I don’t think I make the best in the world, but it is pretty tasty and there’s usually none left by the end of the holidays.
