Edible gifts: Rosemary spiced walnuts
Your family and friends will devour this snack. It requires just three ingredients (plus salt and pepper) and is packed with savory goodness and omega-3 fats. There’s nothing yummier than toasted nuts; they transform into a crunchy, slightly buttery and peppery bite. You can double or triple this recipe to make multiple batches.
Edible gifts: Mason Jar Banana-Peanut Butter Cookies
Mason Jar Banana-Peanut Butter Cookies
You may want to whip up an extra batch for Santa…because these gems are sooo good. They’re great for almost anyone because they’re dairy-free, gluten-free, flourless, and lower in sugar than most other cookies (the only sugar comes from the chocolate chips and dried fruit).
Edible gifts: Cherry chia jam
This tasty topper really hits the sweet spot…but in a natural way (no added sugar here). You can use it for a morning meal atop toast or mix some into oatmeal or into yogurt. I’ve also found it to be a healthy replacement for jelly in PB&J. This is definitely my jam!
Edible gifts: Chocolate Puppy Chow
This gift will be received with a big smile and rumbling tummy. It features crunchy Chex cereal, nutrient-packed nuts and nut butter, sweet powdered sugar, and of course, drool-worthy chocolate. It’s crunchy and indulgent…a gift that keeps giving.
Edible gifts: Spiced and Sparkling Chilled Chai Tea
Spiced and Sparkling Chilled Chai Tea
Gather the few ingredients needed for this spiced sip—chai tea, a can of LaCroix Peach-Pear Sparkling Water, a cinnamon stick and a few cloves and perhaps a themed drinking glass—and package them together in a cute container. It’s a bevvy basket for one. And although it’s an iced drink, it has a warming quality to it thanks to the spices. Fizzy, flavorful and fun…I’ll drink to that!
