Five Homemade Gift Ideas
Here are some ideas for homemade holiday gifts that you still have time to make before Christmas.
Hot Cocoa Mix – Nothing beats a great mug of hot cocoa!

Peppermint Marshmallows – These marshmallows go perfectly with a mug of hot cocoa

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn – Caramel corn makes a great gift. This stuff has just a hint of peanut butter flavor

Spiced Meat Rub – You can rub this on any kind of meat for delicious results

Salted Caramel Sauce – Salted caramel makes everything taste better. You can make it at home and any who gets a jar will thank you for years to come

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Can I have ALL of these dishes for Thanksgiving?? 😉
Great ideas!
PS, Carbomb cupcakes are happening tomorrow!!
Thank you for all of the yummy recipes that you posted on your blog. I especially like the recipe for Squash Bisque. I just bought a butternut squash and didn’t know what to do with it, so I completely understand the dilemma that you were in! I am going to try it and if it turns out well, then I am going to make it for Thanksgiving. I am always in search for new recipes for the holiday. I work with Better Recipes.com and if you are in search for the same, I recommend you check out their Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas
This looks like a great list of Thanksgiving dishes. Love your post on apple slab as well. I think I’m going to make one next week so I have it ready for Thanksgiving.
Congrats! Your acorn squash photo has been featured as a Photo of the Week on BostonFoodBloggers.com: http://www.bostonfoodbloggers.com/2010/11/photos-of-week.html
So many great Thanksgiving recipes! Yum!
I think I’m just making desserts this year, but I may sneak in that cranberry, caramelized onion, and goat cheese dip as well. Going to check out the recipe now.
