edible gift ideas

Ree_Chatelain

Every year for the holidays I make some sort of edible gifts for family and friends; brownies, cookies, peperment bark. I need some healthy low calorie ideas. I don't feel right handing out the fattening goodies anymore. Please give me some ideas. i'm at a loss.

Thanks,
Sherri

Probably not going to be healthy as such but I am planning on doing up some 'cookie mix in jars'

last year I made spiced coffee to give to friends - it went down very well

take ground coffee and add spices eg ginger - cinammon and nutmeg mixed spice
I made them up in pretty cellophane bags with ribbon

My favourite is the AHA Spice Mix
http://www.kogagrove.org/recipes/aha.html sooo good and great that it has no sodium.

Low fat homemade granola

Multigrain Pancake mix

Low fat muffins (use half wheat flour and half white flour and substitute half of the oil or butter for unsweetened apple sauce)

How about homemade Vanilla extract. I found great recipes online that consist of vodka and vanilla beans. I bought some cute bottles and made a label. I kept a bottle for myself and it was really good.

I've made these and they turned out quite nice.

You could try doing soup mix in a jar- allrecipes.com has it listed as Friendship Soup.

Salsa would be a very heathy option.

I'll be giving out Hot Buttered Rum mix- not the healthiest option but most certainly one of life's little pleasures!

soup in a jar, fantastic idea, and probably a whole heap cheaper!

thanks for that
