Nice roundup. These all look delicious! Funny that I only eat it twice a year but I love cornbread dressing – that’s my holiday fave!
Kristina LaRue says
mmmmm. I’ll second that!
Melanie @ Nutritious Eats says
Oh that vinaigrette. I could lick my screen. I am obsessed with salads and homemade dressing. Great round-up!

Ooo, all those breakfasts 😉
My favorite holiday food….I’m not sure! I always make something new each year for each holiday, haha!
Kristina LaRue says
I know– I guess you can say I’m breakfast obsessed.

Ooh – love Natalie’s brainstorm of putting pumpkin in dressing -I have some leftover puree in my refrigerator. What a beautiful roundup, Kristina. Favorite holiday food for me is hands down the stuffing 🙂
Kristina LaRue says
Do it!! And thank you– my mom makes the best stuffing recipe or as she calls it “dressin”. It’s my fav holiday food too.
Natalie says
I love the idea of putting pumpkin in a salad dressing. I would have never thought of that!
Kristina LaRue says
Thanks Natalie! I added the spice BUT I think a tablespoon of puree would be awesome in the dressing too 🙂
