Be Thankful, It’s a Giveaway!
For Americans, Thanksgiving is zooming towards us and I must admit, I’m pretty excited. You see, I’m a casserole girl and Thanksgiving is only the holiday of a thousand casseroles! You could call it an obsession. I love them. All of them. There’s never any turkey on my plate, just a giant pile of casserole after casserole. But green bean casserole is my absolute favorite, there’s just something about canned fried onions that I cannot get enough of.
Since it’s past time for another Old but New giveaway, I thought I’d ask you to share your own favorite holiday foods for a chance to win. One randomly selected winner gets any one item of their choosing from the SALE section I’ve only just fully replenished with some really great pieces and super discounts.
You may enter to win up until Wednesday, November 25th and the winner will be announced in the following few days(once my stomach has settled).

I’ll vote for my great grandmother’s trifle. It has never been the same since her passing. Family members keep trying but it hasn’t been overly successful yet. Oh, and the thing I make is pineapple snow. It’s almost like ice cream but much lighter and DELICIOUS! I get in trouble if I don’t bring it.
Cake. More holidays need cake. Not any of that Christmas cake nonsense either - I mean light and fluffy sugar suspended in a large pillow of flour and lovingly smeared with icing cake.
Real cake.
There should be a holiday just for cake and nuh uh birthdays don’t count!
Hi, Samantha! :o) What a lovely giveaway… and so sweet in connection with Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday! :o) But I won your last giveaway during the summer, so I’ll not shout too loud here… Give all the others a chance to win one of your beautiful creations. Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
I vote for pie in any form! My husband is Weld county’s Champion piemaker. His applepie is to die for. But this time of year it’s pumpkin pie I crave. With a little bit of whipped cream on top. Put that in my mouth on my deathbed…
Oh, holiday food, how I love thee. Mashed potatoes are a particular favorite… I’m all about the starchy foods. Casseroles are a hit, too, but I particularly enjoy the spoonful of cranberry sauce with Thanksgiving dinner. It’s a tradition in my family–even though my grandmother and I were the only two people to eat it, we always put a can of the jellied stuff on the table. My grandma passed away just before Thanksgiving last year… now the cranberry sauce reminds me of her. :)
I love fruitcake. Not that nasty brick thing you see on so many shelves during the holidays but the homemade rum soaked ones with big pieces of fruit and nuts. Everytime someone asks me what I want to Christmas I tell them fruitcake but I never get one. I think they all think I’m joking … :(
Holiday desserts are my fave… cakes, cookies.. there really isn’t any limits.. well except for mince meat tarts and fruit cake… those I will pass on.
My favorite holiday food goes back to my Polish roots and background. Pierogi - dough pockets filled with mashed potatoes and onions, sauerkraut and bacon bits, ground meat, mushrooms, etc. Boiled in water or pan fried in butter, this food became my favorite comfort food when as growing up.
Traditionally, Polish women would spend a whole weekend making huge batches of pierogi for the upcoming holidays and for the winter. Even though I now have a gluten allergy and cannot eat wheat, I found an online source of frozen gluten-free pierogi and plan on enjoying this treat again this holiday season.
I gotta go with pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream. That just IS Thanksgiving to me. :)
I LOVE sweet potato casserole. Marshmallows and the works. mmmmmm. :)
I have to choose cranberry sauce. Not the jellied, canned kind, but the real stuff. I don’t know what it is about it, but I absolutely love it!
ohhh i have to choose just one??? lol cause i have soo many! i mean come on, its the one time of year we can justify eating things we normally wouldnt the rest of the year!
for thanksgiving, i have a new favorite. its a pumpkin pie dip. sooo easy, its basically pumpkin (i do canned) cool whip, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cheesecake instant pudding mix. mix it all up, chill for an hour (or more) and then use ginger snaps to dip into! yummmmmmm sooo good!!
for christmas its my mom’s green bean casserole! nothing like it! with ham and rolls and green beans! i’m set! lol
ok now i’m hungry!

I never liked it when I was a kid but oh my god I can’t get enough of brussel sprouts. Especially cooked with bacon and a little parm on top, SO GOOD. I don’t really like the turkey I’m more in it for the side dishes. It’s not too bad when I can make pumpkin cupcakes either. :)
my fave holiday food? i cannot live without cranberry crescent rolls!!! i used to hate it as a kid but now love it as an adult. mmmmmmmm
My favorite Thanksgiving food is turkey and cornbread dressing/stuffing. OK, I know this is two things, but I always eat them together. You really can’t have one without the other. And don’t forget the gravy.
However, I have to give a huge shout out to my mother-in-law’s chocolate pie because it has homemade chocolate filling, flaky pie crust, and meringue . . . *wipes drool off keyboard* It. Is. Scrumptious.
(How many days until Thanksgiving?)
I’d have to agree, my father in law makes the BEST green bean caserole–though if you’re Queen of these dishes I would love to try yours! =D
I have to say though, my dad makes the best deep fried turkey, and what about the crescent rolls? Right out of the over, nice and flakey with the butterly goodness! Yum, my mouth is watering now!
Great giveaway, your stuff is awesome! Saw this tweet from your husband and had to check it out! =D
At Christmas, and only Christmas, my mom makes gingerbread Santas. They’re pretty labor-intensive, because she doesn’t have a cookie-cutter for them, so she free-hands the outline of Santa’s head (and hat). Then she draws Santa’s face on with powdered-sugar frosting (all of this is from scratch).
As kids, we’d anxiously watch Mom decorating these cookies, hoping she’d “mess up” when drawing the faces, because that meant we got to eat those cookies.
Also, slightly-burned green Christmas tree sugar cookies rock. Sugar cookies any other time of the year? Nope. Only in December. Maybe it’s the green food coloring?
Casseroles are good, but I’m not a Thanksgiving fan. Maybe because I grew up without it (in Chile)… Also, we don’t get a lot of casseroles at our Thanksgiving table. Lots of turkey, orange potato-like stuff, and can-shaped “cranberry sauce.”
I assume this is how we enter the giveaway: your work is lovely!

My grandma makes Dumplings and Sauerkraut. I never liked it until i was older so now i really enjoy it every year;)
Wow! What a great giveaway! I love your jewelry! My favorite Thanksgiving food, by far, is PUMPKIN PIE! I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner…. love it!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Lora
