Freezer food basket (and other premade foods) – Gifts for those who have everything

Freezer food gift basket with breakfast burritos and beef stew in a bag

^ Freeze Beef Stew and Breakfast Burritos (use Omelet Muffin recipe but cook in skillet and fill tortillas)

I’ve been seeing lots of ideas for food gifts, so I’ll just skip straight to sharing some of them. Remember that while cookies, candies, and other sweets are popular, putting together more savory mixes will carry beyond the holiday season….and without being carried there on an increased waistline. :P

Christmas tree sushi -Deck the halls with boughs of Japanese mayo

Sushi art can keep my attention for way longer than it probably should, but I love it. People can get so creative with it and here’s an example of a cool Christmas twist….even if it’s not exactly “traditional.”  Shape them into little Christmas trees and then chow down.

Christmas tree sushi

300g cooked Japanese rice
2 TBS rice vinegar
100g chopped toro
1 avocado
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 nori sheet
4 shiso
chopped green onion
ikura
mayonnaise
4 star-shaped cheese (meiji)
soy sauce

Follow instructions in the video to see how to make them. :)

Snowman gum - Draw snowman faces with black and orange permanent sharpie markers

Genius, no??? Thanks Sheila!

What a simple way to turn a boring pack of gum into a festive, personalized stocking stuffer. Just use Sharpies to draw on the snowman faces.
