What holiday food are you most looking forward to?
I can't wait to eat stuffing and fried turkey. My aunt also makes this strawberry/pretzel/cream dessert that is amazing. And pumpkin pie...yum.
Any recipes you'd like to share? I was thinking about making something holidayish this weekend since it's going to be cooler and I don't feel like waiting another month. 
Re: What holiday food are you most looking forward to?
I LOVE better than sex cake. One of my top desserts for sure.
My mom's parmesan mashed potatoes. It's an incredible dish.
I'm also a huge fan of ham. I don't normally eat the turkey until my mom turns it into turkey salad.
ALL OF THE FOOD. Dieting sucks.
I haven't indulged in all of the pumpkin goodies because of the aforementioned diet, but I can't wait for pumpkin everything, peppermint hot chocolate, jalape?o poppers, deviled eggs, turkey, apple pie, apple cider, pumpkin scones, pumpikin brownies, cake balls, mmmmm.
Here is an awesome trifle that I make every year. Gringerbread pumpkin trifle.
Ingredients
Directions
Bake the gingerbread according to the package directions; cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the pudding and set aside to cool. Stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and cardamom into the pudding. Crumble 1 batch of gingerbread into the bottom of a large, pretty bowl. Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the gingerbread, then add a layer of whipped topping. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and whipped topping. Sprinkle of the top with crushed gingersnaps, if desired. Refrigerate overnight. Trifle can be layered in a punch bowl.
I also make my own whipped cream. 1 cup of heavy whipping cream mix with 1/4 cup of sugar. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanila. I have to double it for this recipe though.
