Favorite Gift Baskets?
Comments (17)Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. After all my hunting, I messaged my sister yesterday to get some input regarding how much 'goodies' she could withstand (she's recently lost some weight). She messaged me back that she thought we were sending each other gift cards which would be used to buy special celebration food items. Okay, I can go with that -much easier! But thank you -I've filed all of these away, and will most definitely be making use of them in the future....See MoreWhat has been your favorite Birthday gift - cooking or food relat
Comments (26)This is a totally different idea, but I wanted to mention it because I recently rediscovered my immersion blender. I wanted something I could take out of town with me that was small and easy to pack, and...I know this would sound odd to some...offered a little bit of ''help'' in case I decided I wanted to bake. (A readily-available kitchen is a good thing.) Anyway, I realized my immersion blender (Kitchen Aid) had a whip attachment (like a miniature hand-mixer) that I'd never used. Eureka! Of course I had to try it out, and it works beautifully. If your friend doesn't have one, she would probably love it for blending soups, making smoothies or chopping things. The best part is they're not terrible expensive. (FYI; maybe not for now, but for the future.)...See MoreFavorite online food gifts for business?
Comments (19)My BIL sent us Enstoms for the holidays last year. It is EVIL in the best way. If you're looking for something different, I like Tulocay's Made in Napa Valley products, especially the carmael and chocoalte sauces and the grilling sauces. American Spoon Foods is always a winner (I prefer them to Stonewall Kitchens) and J&M makes delicious cheesestraws and shortbreads. Society Hill makes the best nut snacks (ooo...I need to order toffee nuts!), but their packaging is not as upscale as other companies. Nikolas for biscotti and shortbreads and organic cookies. Oh, and Rebecca Ruth or Ruth Hunt's Woodford Reserve Bourbon balls out of KY for chocolates. Those have a short shelf life, so you don't want to order them too early -- although they don't seem to stick around long enough to find out what would happen.... David, I know what you mean. ;) I'm having a devil of a time finding any coffee I like these days. Annie, you want to buy a roaster? LOL! DH could probably teach you and Ellery how to use it in no time....See MoreHoliday Food Gifts
Comments (32)Got 4 gift packages in the mail yesterday. They should arrive tomorrow. This was really fun. After looking at the goodies though I decided something from the oven was needed. So, made a quick batch of Palmiers using Pepperidge Farms. I took my time, pinched the ends well & was fussy about spreading the tops evenly. They came out beautiful perfect hearts. It was a last minute thing just before DH left to get them mailed so didn't get pictures. Here's the other gifts though... Preserved Lemons, Citrus Salt, Homemade Vanilla, & Grand Marnier Fig-Walnut Butter I'm so pleased with the Preserved Lemons. They have bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, red chili peppers, whole peppercorns, corriander seeds, whole cloves, & Kosher salt. After 30+ days they smell heavenly. I'm going to preserve blood oranges this way when they're available. "Tamaya Blue" & Blueberry Muffin Mix, World Peace Marinated Olives, & Spicy White Wine Whole-Grain Mustard The "Tamaya Blue" is a special roasted before milling blue cornmeal from Pueblo Santa Ana & I used our food storage freeze-dried blueberries, organic powdered eggs, butter, & milk. They're "Just Add Water". The olives have orange & rosemary plus peppercorns. I'll wait until just before Christmas to put the baskets together that will be given from under our tree. All in all, this was more fun than baking all the cookies, probably because it was different for me. I think I'll start planning next year's gifts soon. /tricia...See Morechickadee2_gw
