Sadly only one kind person participated in my recipe swap...so I am going to post her recipe and one of mine (my moms) just so I can have some closure from the original post. If you're interested click here
I did get a lot of feedback - people saying they would love to post a "sweet treat" so I will take another crack at it now:

Sorry I let you down. I too only had sweet recipes that I thought were worth sharing.I tried a new dinner recipe last night and got a thumbs up from all three boys..that is rare. Let me know if you would like it.
I was hoping that A lot of other people would write wonderful things because I don't really have any holiday recipes that I think are special. Beth
