I was planning on baking sugar cookies with LO this year. So it would be cute that she 'helped'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235908 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:01:39 +0000 lindseykaye 1235908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Ohh I like this idea. I always make a lot of sweets during the holidays for work, family, etc. And now with a daycare provider I am still brainstorming.<br /> This is a cute way to package those goodies for an individual. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235878 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:53:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1235878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would fill it with sweets - either chocolate candies, homemade choc chip cookies (you can stack them), homemade toffee or caramels</p> <p>Since your attaching a Starbucks GC you could say something like Chocolate and Coffee - 2 things to get you thru the holiday season - or something to that effect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235804 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:30:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1235804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: This is the one I"m going to use, I haven't tried it yet so I can't fully vouch on it's taste, but it looks simple &amp; similar to one my favorite teacher in HS used to make for us :) </p> <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/205054589257408470/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/205054589257408470/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235770 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:20:23 +0000 regberadaisy 1235770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yes, please! And you're right there are a ton of scrub recipes floating around pinterest as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235765 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:19:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 1235765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I did homemade bath scrub last year, with brown sugar, coconut oil and something else! I forget. I can try to find the recipe. the coconut oil obviously hardened, but when you're in the shower and/or manipulate it with your hands it turns into an oily scrub again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235762 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:18:28 +0000 Ash 1235762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I think that'd be great! I like the idea of providing something relaxing (think bath &amp; homemade candle) sipping on some sbux. Ooooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235758 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:16:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1235758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yes, I'm leaning more towards something that doesn't really require them to cook or bake. I have no idea if they can! LoL</p> <p>@Ash: I love that idea! I have always wanted to try my hand at candles..... Hm maybe like a festive scented candles?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235746 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:14:29 +0000 Ash 1235746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I think the bigger mason jars make a batch of cookies.<br /> What if, instead of food, you did bath salts or homemade body cream? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235744 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:13:39 +0000 looch 1235744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I think with the cookies, you put enough in for a small batch, it probably makes 6-8 cookies when you are said and done.</p> <p>As for the soup, you can get a lot of beans and spices in a mason har! I agree that it's a lot of effort, i was thinking something like a layered trail mix would be cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235738 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:12:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1235738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: do you have a homemade cocoa recipe?!? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235732 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:10:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1235732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I just meant with the size of a Mason jar there's probably only enough space for ingredients to make one serving of soup. Or maybe a few cookies. Seems a lot of effort for the giftee? Maybe I'm wrong? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235729 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:09:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 1235729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m doing Hot Cocoa this year for my family members and MAYBE will attempt homemade marshemellows too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235726 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:08:58 +0000 looch 1235726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: huh? the ingredients for the soup or cocoa are all included, with the exception of the water. You could do a single serving of the cocoa, but I think a person would make the whole batch of soup.</p> <p>With the cookie mix, you usually have to add an egg, oil, water, butter, etc. That's what I meant, the cookie mix isn't all inclusive of the Ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235711 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:06:21 +0000 regberadaisy 1235711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: @looch: but are they suppose to bake one cookie then or make one bowl of soup? LOL<br /> I'm liking the idea of smores in a jar.<br /> Teddy graham's, green &amp; red Hershey kisses, mini Marshmellow and teddy Graham again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235647 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:53:48 +0000 looch 1235647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the hot cocoa and soup ones too, I probably wouldn't be able to get my act together to actually BAKE the ones that require additional ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235639 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:51:50 +0000 Ash 1235639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sil did this for Halloween...

I like cowboy cookies, with oatmeal, cinnamon, nuts, chocolate and butterscotch chips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235615 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:43:38 +0000 cmomma17 1235615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the hot cocoa ones with a layer of mini marshmallows on top </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mason-jar-food-gifts#post-1235612 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:42:43 +0000 Beyond2 1235612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a specific recipe, but some with dried beans, herbs, veggies that would make soup could be cute!
