Just post one. What is your number one favorite holiday recipe? It can be from Christmas, Haunukah, Kwanza, Thanksgiving, or whatever, but it has to be your favorite.
Mine is Awesome Cranberry and Sausage Stuffing (you can find the recipe on Allrecipes.com). I make it every year. I double up on the sausage and apples. YUMMY!
Your turn! I want to fatten up my recipe box...so hook a mama up!
Here are the instructions for my favorite stuffing recipe. Please do share yours!

1 1/2 cups cubed whole wheat bread
3 3/4 cups cubed white bread
1 pound ground turkey sausage
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
2 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and
chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cooked turkey liver, finely chopped
3/4 cup turkey stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degree C). Spread the white and whole wheat bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until evenly toasted. Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions over medium heat, stirring and breaking up the lumps until evenly browned. Add the celery, sage, rosemary, and thyme; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend flavors.
3. Pour sausage mixture over bread in bowl. Mix in chopped apples, dried cranberries, parsley, and liver. Drizzle with turkey stock and melted butter, and mix lightly. Spoon into turkey to loosely fill.

Open a can of jellied cranberry, run a knife around the edge, watch it's gelatinous goodness plop on plate, cut it in chunks to make it seem less terrifying.

I know you said only one, but we have this salad every Thanksgiving and I love, love, love it, though I used whipped cream rather than Cool Whip:

For Halloween - Kitty Litter Cake - you can google it for different recipes, but I use yellow cake, chocolate icing, whatever cookies I liked (made into crumbs), a few tootsie rolls (slightly melted). It's kinda gross cause it's a joke cake, so don't read on if you don't like that kind of humor... :)
Make the cake and ice it. Spread the crumbled cookies onto the icing to resemble litter. Place the slightly melted tootsie rolls on randomly to resemble - you know...
If you can find a plastic bin-type container at the dollar store that looks like a
litter box, and a spatula that looks like a scooper, you have a hit. People laugh out loud at this one.
Also - I found this recipe in response to the bad cookie question and may add it just for the "OMG" factor - http://fuzziebutter.com/?p=302
Fantasy Fudge
The recipe used to be right on the label of the Kraft Marshmallow creme. I don't know if it still is. I use walnuts in mine.
My grandmother, Mimi's Sweet Potatoe Casserole recipe. I make it every year for Thanksgiving, and then sometimes for Christmas.
