Bid farewell to long lines and frustrating mall parking lots. Save money and time and eliminate shopping stress this holiday season by preparing homemade goodies for loved ones right in your own kitchen. Checking off your gift list has never been so easy!
This dough is simple to prepare, and gifting it rolled in parchment (with baking directions) and frozen provides your recipient with ready-to-bake cookies whenever he or she craves them.
Instead of adding chunks of sugar-filled candy cane, this classic has been given a healthy twist with no compromise to taste. Look for high-quality organic peppermint loose-leaf tea to ensure you get the most authentic flavor with some additional antioxidant benefits to boot. Hint: Our mix makes perfect stocking stuffers for pennies a bag!
Let family and friends know they can serve this fresh and tangy preserve with whole-grain crackers and cheese during a cocktail party, as a condiment for roasted lamb or poultry (yes, even Thanksgiving turkey!) or stirred into Greek yogurt for a sweet snack anytime.
This simple dark-chocolate treat is studded with tart cherries, crunchy almonds and bits of ginger for a touch of heat. Serve as a light dessert or midday clean confection.
This isn't your grandmother's fruitcake! By replacing the usual candied fruit with nutrient-dense unsweetened dried cranberries and apricots, we've cleaned up and reduced the sugar in this often-regifted gift. Plus, adding a shallow pan with water to the oven during baking ensures an intensely flavorful and moist cake.
Beet greens pack a nutritious punch, with protein, beta-carotene and calcium. Served with their equally nutritious, crimson roots, this healthy heavyweight is also a snap to make.
