Gifts from the kitchen (and your heart) will be even sweeter because they were made by you! Just a few food gift packaging ideas: Paper Bags – Line the bag with tissue paper.  Poke holes or make slits in the bag.  Lace ribbon, string, greenery or jingle bells through the bags. Bottle or Jar – Tie raffia or twine around the neck of each bottle.  Attach a small ornament. Gift Tags – Start with scrapbook paper, cookie cutters, felt and add your own touch with glitter, ribbon or markers.  Gifts in a jar:  Apple Crisp                      Mexican Hot Cocoa

                     Golden Honey Granola

If you are from New Jersey or New York you will love this recipe for "crumb buns".  We would get them every Sunday from the local bakery (now closed).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray 8 x 8 baking pan with nonstick spray.  Set aside.  In a medium bowl, sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, whisk together egg, milk, canola oil and vanilla.  Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture.

Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  In a medium bowl, combining remaining 2-1/2 cups flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Pour melted butter over flour mixture and toss together until large crumbs form.  Sprinkle crumbs over batter.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Dust liberally with confectioner's sugar.  Cut into squares.
