Food is a Gift of Love...yes...I know you have heard me say this many times! And it is so true! Our beautiful food in their great looking boxes and jars ARE a perfect gift and so good they TASTE like home-made! Now let's take that box of Garlic Herb Dip to the NEXT level of Gift Giving! Stretching your Box of Garlic Herb Dip to MORE than one present! And it is home-made.......
Prepare the Garlic Herb Dip yourself using the Herb Butter recipe on the box. One bag of Dip mix and one pound of real butter! Mix it all together and then divide it into several small crocks or bowls that you picked up at a Dollar Store (I got some clear tiny bowls the other day...4 for a dollar.) You can wrap the crock of Garlic Herb Butter in a clear bag with a cute note from you about how YOU use the butter and refrigerate it until you are ready to give your presents! I love the recipe for French-style - like a boursin!
Or make the Deliciously Dill Dip or the Simply Spinach Dip and divide it into crocks or wine glasses. The Spinach Artichoke recipe could go in ramekins or little baking dishes. Your friends will love the thoughtfulness and enjoy every bite!
It's a gift that is truly "Home-made" and stretches your gift budget with just a little bit of time! Time has always been money and Taste of Gourmet products are a true Time-Saver! Give your friends a delicious Christmas present. They will love you for it!
And don't forget the biscotti! Place several in a cello bag tied with a pretty ribbon & hand-made Christmas tag.

Tracey - We really think alike! After I wrote this entry, on my way to The Crown, I thought of the Biscotti too - and the Apple Cake and......I've already written an addition to Home-Made that will come up tomorrow! You and I just LOVE to cook let's keep ideas bubbling!
