December Cook it Quick newsletter

Are you looking for some inexpensive, yet unique gift ideas for the holidays? Look no further than the December Cook it Quick newsletter. You will find instructions on making these mixes:

  • French vanilla coffee mix (who wouldn't love that?)
  • California walnut granola mix
  • Mint candy coffee mix (yum!)
  • Country chili mix
  • Double chocolate peppermint candy hot cocoa mix (for those cold winter nights)
  • Spiced tea mix
  • Homemade trail mix
North Dakota State University Extension also has a webpage with these mixes:
  • Homemade cornbread mix
  • Cranberry oatmeal cookie mix
  • Friendship soup mix
The mixes are easy and use ingredients that you have on hand or would be easy to find. You just need some glass jars and fabric and ribbon to make them look festive. You will need a food processor for some of the coffee and hot cocoa mixes.

Another resource is Alice Henneman's blog post on homemade holiday food gifts.

These homemade gifts are a great way to save money and give a gift that someone will actually use.
