Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style- 2nd Edition

Last year I hosted the 1st Edition of my Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style recipe exchange and I was delighted with the impressive participation from my fellow bloggers! 81 bloggers linked up and, since many of you listed multiple recipes in one post, there were over 200 recipes shared!

The day has arrived to kick off my 2nd Annual Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style recipe exchange! If you intend to participate, and I hope you do, I'd like to lay out just a few guidelines.

1) Recipes can be as long or as short as you'd like. They can be quick and simple or they can be a bit more complex. You can post more than one recipe if you'd like. Don't worry if you think there might be duplicates of the recipe you have in mind (more than one stuffing recipe, for example) because I'll bet each recipe is unique.

2) I'd appreciate holiday recipes that are tried and true. They don't have to be your own creations, I don't care where you originally got the recipe from, I just ask that you post a recipe that's worked for you in the past. Feel free to give credit where credit is due. If you post a recipe from your aunt Martha Stewart, by all means, mention that! I'll be sharing some family recipes.

3) When you post your recipe on your blog, within your post be sure to link back my post so that others know where to come and view more recipes. Feel free to use the graphic above in your post or on your sidebar.

4) Once you've posted your recipe on your blog, don't forget to stop back and link on my Mr. Linky so that everyone can stop by and take a look at your recipe. I'd really appreciate it if you'd put your recipe title in parenthesis in Mr. Linky. And please link directly to your recipe post, not just your blog, so that it's easy for people to find your recipe no matter what day they're looking for it! Fair warning, if this isn't done, I'll do it for you and then you'll loose your original spot on Mr. Linky.

5) There's no deadline on when you have to post your recipe. This post isn't going anywhere, so take your time! I'll have this post linked up on my sidebar until next year's Holiday Cooking, Blogger Style recipe exchange!

Okay, enough with the guidelines let the fun begin! I can't wait to see your holiday recipes! I promise, I will visit your blog to see your recipe if you link here. It may take me a little while to get there, but I will get there!

This is a lot of fun and I appreciate the opportunity to join in the fun. I've posted two recipes, both on cards that can be saved to your computer and printed for your recipe collection. The recipes are "Cinnamon Sugar Crisps" and "Behold! Ichabod's Slapjacks."

Oh dear, I just realized I did not do the name thing correctly on your linky gizmo. I apologize but don't know what to do about it now. I think I shall just be happy I've contributed two recipes on my blog.

If you want to delete me, I will redo mine also.

Hello,

There are so many great recipes! Thank you for the holiday edition.

I posted #47 which is a post I did back in March on recipes in general, but it has my favorite cutout cookie recipe in it. They turn out beautiful everytime.

I linked back to Overwhelmed with Joy and encouraged my readers to take a look at your FIF Holiday Edition post.

Forgive me for not picking up on it, but your beautiful photos-- are they from Scotland or Ireland?

We all have our traditional dishes so I thought I'd offer up an appetizer. My bacon wrapped dates are a yummy appetizer and you can do so many things with them like stuff the with your favorite cheese before baking, making an aweseome dipping sauce. they go fast too and they're not real expensive to make!

 
At 6:26 AM, Blogger Deb @ Sugarfused said...
