UPDATE: This giveaway is now CLOSED! The winner is “Connie the Cookie Monster” (#1879). Congratulations! Thanks to everyone who entered!

Today is our last giveaway of the holiday season and we are going out with a big bang! We teamed up with our friends at KitchenAid to offer you an AMAZING KitchenAid giveaway. One lucky reader will win a KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor, a 7 Qt KitchenAid Stand Mixer, AND a KitchenAid 5 Speed Hand Blender. I think I just heard you scream with excitement:) I know I am jumping with joy! We love all of our KitchenAid appliances and these are 3 of our very favorites! We are SO excited about this giveaway!

The KitchenAid 13-cup Food Processor is awesome! We use ours all of the time to shred cheese and zucchini, make galette dough, make dips, and more. The 13-cup KitchenAid food processor really does everything. It slices, shreds, kneads, chops, and purees. It is a dream machine! And it has the first-ever externally adjustable slicing lever, which makes adjusting from a thick to think slice a breeze! It also has a 3-in-1 Ultra Wide Mouth Feed Tube that accommodates foods of all sizes. The Food Processor is also BPA free and dishwasher safe. It comes in red, chrome, silver, black, and white.

My KitchenAid 7-quart Bowl-Lift Residential Stand Mixer is my very best friend. My KitchenAid mixer has helped me make numerous batches of cookies. We have already shared so many memories together. Our mixer is part of our family:) Caleb is also very fond of our mixer. Every time he hears it turn on he crawls as fast as he can to watch.

The 7 Qt Mixer has a 1.3 HP Motor with 10 different speeds. It can mix, whip, and knead like no other machine on the market. It can hold over 8 pounds of dough and make 14 dozen cookies! And it whips cream in a matter of seconds. There is no better kitchen appliance, in my opinion:) The mixer comes with a dishwasher safe  Powerknead™ Spiral Dough Hook, coated metal Flat Beater, and Stainless Steel 11-Wire Elliptical Whip. The mixer comes in red, white, black, and silver.

And last, but not least, the KitchenAid 5 Speed Hand Blender. This blender might be small, but it is mighty! It blends, chops, purees, shreds, minces, mixes, and whisks…all in the palm of your hand. It is easy to use too! You can easily change between different types of stainless steel blades with no hassle or tools. We use it all of the time for pureeing soups. You can stick the hand blender right into the soup pot! It is easy to clean because all of the attachments and accessories are dishwasher safe. And it comes with a storage case so you can keep all of the components together. This is a must have kitchen tool! It comes in black and silver.

It’s easy, you make a basic white sauce, grate in hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper to taste, then serve over toast. In my family, we tear the toast into a pile of bite-sized pieces. This recipe is a favorite of mine during the holidays because it reminds me of Christmases spent at my grandparents’. If I woke up early enough, I got to tiptoe down the stairs and help grandma make the toast while listening to grandpa play carols on the organ until my rowdy brothers woke up.

It eventually became Mom’s frozen Jello dessert and the holidays aren’t the holidays without it.

  2361. My favorite Christmas recipe is my great great grandmother’s Mississippi Fruitcake. She was Creole and brought this recipe with her and it has been a closely guarded family secret ever since. It is unlike any other fruitcake I have ever had. It has no citron or candied fruits and the only dried fruit in it is raisins. When my husband and I were first starting out over 30 years ago and I made them for gifts, upon receiving them people were sort of, “Oh, a fruitcake. How thoughtful.” Then the next years I would get phone calls,”Are you making your fruitcake this year?” It just isn’t like any other, and the jokes you hear about fruitcakes don’t apply in it’s case. Until i’ve made that first batch and smell it filling the house with it’s aroma, Christmastime has not really started.

  2806. No matter what I bake at Christmas, three items are always on the list: Moravian Christmas cookies – cut-out cookies that bake “white” – , a ginger/molasses cookie called “Joe Frogger”, from which I cut gingerbread men – and my mother’s famous fattening fudge sauce.
    That basic recipe is super simple:
    1 1/2 sticks butter
    3/4 c. GOOD cocoa (e.g. Dutch process)
    2 – 3 c. sugar (start w/less)
    1 can evaporated milk
    dash of vanilla
    OPTIONAL: 1 tsp instant coffee, 1 T liqueur, or 3+ oz. of bittersweet or very dark Belgian chocolate

    In a saucepan melt butter, whisking in cocoa. Stir in 2 c. sugar and 1 (13 oz.) can evaporated milk. Heat over low heat until mixture loses its graininess. Add up to 1 c. more sugar to taste (the more sugar, the thicker the final product will be, unless you add bittersweet chocolate.) Remove from heat and add vanilla…and as an option, 1 tsp. instant coffee or 1 T. flavored liqueur. Serve warm over ice cream. Keep in refrigerator. Keeps well in freezer, too, where it hardens just enough to be able to get a spoon into it, so you can walk around with a chocolate fudge lollipop!

    Enjoy our family recipe, and God bless us, every one!

  2883. My favorite holiday recipe is when I make gingerbread. Every holiday I teach adults and children how to make gingerbread houses. They cut out, bake, construct and decorate them after I’ve already prepared the dough, giving it plenty of time to rest.

    I have an Artisan stand mixer and every year I say I need to break down and buy myself a larger one. This year I made lots of gingerbread and best of all had the pleasure of sharing the evening of gingerbread house creating with cancer survivors and patients and their children. The greatest gift I could have given were the smiles on every parent, grandparent and child for this special time they spent together.

    This is such a wonderful gift you’re offering. It would definitely come in handy.

    Wishing you a Happy and Healthy Holiday!

  3214. My favorite holiday recipe is my snowball recipe. My mom made these every Christmas for my brother Fred. After Fred died (Vietnam) my mom continued to make these cookies every year saying she just had to because they were Fred’s favorite. About 8 years ago my mom was no longer able to bake the way she used to. I decided to make “Fred’s cookies” as part of my holiday baking. Now my mom is gone, it keeps all the wonderful family memories………….my brother, my mom and her holiday baking with me. This week, I am going to make “Fred’s cookies” and kick off my holiday baking. This year, I am going to tweak the recipe a little. Will post back and let you know how it comes out.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

    Marie’s Rich Gingerbread with Candied Ginger and Lemon Glaze

    Classic Home Desserts icon
    by Richard Sax, 1994, Chapters Publishing, Ltd.

    http://www.labellecuisine.com/archives/cake/Marie%27s%20Rich%20Gingerbread%20with%20Candied%20Ginger%20and%20Lemon%20Glaze.htm

    Alibris

    “This is extraordinary gingerbread, moist and great-looking.
    Cookbook author (and great cook) Marie Simmons, my co-
    columnist for Bon Appetit, says she also likes to serve this
    cake with John’s Mother’s Lemon Sauce with Lemon Slices
    [recipe follows].”

    Makes one 10-inch tube cake; serves 12 to 16

    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted,
    for the pan
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup packed dark brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    2 cups dark molasses
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons ground ginger
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup minced crystallized ginger
    1 cup boiling water

    Lemon Glaze
    1 cup confectioner’s sugar
    1 – 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously brush the inside of a
    10-inch Bundt or tube pan with the melted butter; sprinkle with a fine coating of flour and shake out the excess; set aside.

    2. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Beat
    in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually
    beat in the molasses in a slow, steady stream until blended.

    3. Meanwhile, sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cloves and salt together;
    stir in the crystallized ginger. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the batter just until blended, no longer; turn off the mixer. Add the boiling water to the batter, 1/3 cup at a time, stirring gently but thoroughly by hand with a large rubber spatula after each addition. Spoon the batter
    into the prepared pan.

    4. Bake until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan, 55 to 60 minutes.

    5. Cool the gingerbread in the pan on a wire rack until warm, 20 to 30 minutes. The top of the cake may fall slightly upon cooling. Run the tip of a knife around the sides of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
    Invert the cake onto a platter.

    6. Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the confectioner’s sugar
    and lemon juice until smooth; add the lemon zest. Drizzle the glaze
    over the top of the cooled cake. The cake is delicious served slightly
    warm. But for neat cutting, let the glaze set before serving.

    John’s Mother’s Lemon Sauce with Lemon Slices

    Makes about 1 1/3 cups

    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 cup cold cider or water
    Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
    1 lemon, thinly sliced (about 8 slices)
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    Pinch salt

    1. In a small nonreactive saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the cider or water in a slow stream and stir until smooth.
    2. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, lemon slices, butter and salt until the butter melts. Serve immediately.

Yum! Haven’t had this since my dad passed away in 1999. 🙁

    Champagne Cupcakes with Champagne Buttercream
    (Buttercream)
    Had a very sweet taste
    (like a truffle)
    And if you ever made one
    (made one)
    You would even say it is the best holiday recipe
    (like most of the treats you find on “Two peas and a pod”)
    All of the other Bakers
    (Bakers)
    Used to laugh and call our cupcake, tart and googey
    (like pecan pie)
    They never let the poor buttercream
    (Buttercream)
    Play in any Bakers contest
    (like Cupcake Wars)

    Then one foggy December 11th
    Buttercream came to say
    (Yum Yum yum)
    Maria with your amazing FB/BLOG/WEBSITE/PINTREST/TWITTER/….
    Won’t you guide my New cooking habits?
    Then all the cupcakes loved buttercream
    (loved buttercream)
    And they shouted out with empty stomachs
    (yummie!)
    “Buttercream with your champagne toppings won’t you come to my Christmas dinner!”
    (Buttercream)
    Then they said you’ll go down in history!
    (like Two peas and a pod!!!)

Place into a preheated oven to 350 degrees. Turn off the oven and ‘forget’ them until morning. I loved the anticipation when I was younger and I love the taste now. You can always add extract or food coloring to jazz them up a bit.

I remember being a kid and watching her make it and I memorized the recipe. It is called Capirotada and is made with fried bread, raisins, nuts, cheese, a brown sugar syrup made from Piloncillo, a hard Mexican sugar, cinnamon sticks, and is baked until firm. I loved it best cold in the morning with a big glass of eggnog. My mother passed away one week ago last year so this will be a sad Christmas, but I will honor her by baking Capirotada. 😀

She passed away right before the holidays when I was in the 9th grade. In the freezer were bags and bags of pasta she had made. Containers of gnocchi and meat sauce, but in the refrigerator, in the same big glass bowl she always used, was a huge batch of pizzelle dough. Making them that year without her was bittersweet. Sad that she was gone, but happy that we had her with us while we sat and chatted and made those pizzelles two by two. Happy Holidays!

  6786. My favorite holiday recipe is Grandma O’s Meltaway Sugar Cookies. My Grandmother was a wonderful, positive influence on my love of baking. We spent many hours together in the kitchen baking, these Meltaway Sugar Cookies are a scrumptious favorite of friends and family. Grandma O passed away a few years ago, yet each time I bake using her recipes, I feel her warm, loving presence.

    Last year I was able to bake these sugar cookies with my granddaughter Isabella for the first time. It meant so much to me to share my grandmother’s baking legacy with my own granddaughter.

    I am thankful for the time my grandmother took to teach me about baking (and life in general) and will always treasure our baking time together. Thank you Grandma O.
