Oh my goodness! My best friend's husband is Mexican American, grew up in Texas. His mother lives with them and she makes buñuelos on New Year's Day, for luck in the new year. My best friend is Italian and Czech, so for their holidays it might be tiramisu or kolacky (or both).

Ever since my nephew and nieces were little, we have always had birthday cake for Jesus' birthday. My youngest niece's birthday is on Christmas, so now we have a little of everything - birthday cake, kolacky and the Czech Christmas cookies called rohlik (shortbread dough with almonds, bent into crescents and sprinkled with powdered sugar).

I've got a puppy chow recipe too - Honeycomb cereal covered with a mix of chocolate and peanut butter. Then powdered sugar over top.
