Hi all,
I am officially in the holiday spirit (a bit early, I know) and was wondering what kinds of holiday/seasonal favorites you all are working into your N days.
Mine:
*clementines (something is very holiday-ish about these to me)
*holiday flavored coffees and teas
*adding pumpkin to things - oatmeal, plain yogurt, etc.
*roasted veggies and potatoes
*goat cheese with cranberries - just bought this and it is heaven!
Also looking forward to Thanksgiving leftovers on future N days.

I eat roasted veggies and potatoes year round. Pretty much I eat the same foods during all seasons.
The only "holiday favorite" I have is a Cadbury Egg, but that's in the spring - and I've always pretty much NoS'd that - more than one makes me sick.

In our house, autumn and the holidays bring forth homemade sweet, spiced, and/or savory nuts: walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts. They are great added to cereal, salads, fruit salads, dried fruit trays, appetizers (try dried apricot, dab of blue cheese, chopped nuts), and more! All N day friendly!

Aye, the Holidays. I will eat anything that human kind can put on a plate, platter, dish, bowl (in), skewer, fork, spoon, knife, or throw at my mouth.
I think this time of year, along with "hoilday" eating, many of us start to eat more out of boredom due to Season Affective Disorder. The local news channel ran a blurb on it last week and stated that many sufferers of SAD beging to eat more.

Turkey & stuffing with gravy! Turnips with gravy! Pumpkin pie! Lorelei: I'm glad you mentioned putting pumpkin in oatmeal. I adore both, and that sounds like a happy, festive combo! (No gravy on that or the pie, of course ...)

To me too! And I just love the smell of them..
On N Days I will substitute my standard bread for bread with raisins and butter (I don't know if it is american too). And I like to top off my porridge with cinnamon & sugar

I'm a big fan of pomegranates. I'll eat the seeds as my lunchtime dessert or mix them in yogurt for breakfast.

I guess that's fine, if you don't mind spending six months of the year in the underworld.

Eating 'with the seasons' just comes naturally to us, so this time of year we do a lot of roasted vegetables, soups and gravy.
