Share your holiday recipes

Share with us your favorite holiday recipe!!

As soon as late October I’m already thinking about the Thanksgiving Day meal. I guess that’s what November means to many of us. It also means the days having grown shorter, the school session back in full swing, and the holiday season gearing up toward the new year.

It’s a rare family that doesn’t love Thanksgiving? It’s such a special opportunity to share and enjoy the culinary company and togetherness of friends and family. It’s also an opportunity to bring the kids into the kitchen and have the multi generational reality be instructional to the younger family members.

I myself learned to cook by being in the kitchen with my grandmother, mom and uncles. Yes, there were men in my family who were also cooks. It wasn’t just women’s turf, and in putting a feast together, and exchanging recipes and styles, all were brought closer.

Next month we’re going to do a special focus on sharing food ideas for the holidays and I’m hoping that many of you are going to send us some of your favorite recipes. It can be a main course, a side dish or a dessert. Whatever you feel is special and that kids can learn too! We’re going to print our favorites.

The best way to get it to us is to email it to family@nyparenting.com. Please give us your first name, your borough and your email address so we can contact you in return. There will be prizes for the most popular recipes.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what our readers send as well as trying to make some of them in my own kitchen. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday in every way. Good appetite!

Thanks for reading.
