My mother in law who is the second hardest person in my life to shop for (my mom is the first) had a birthday last week. She always assures us that she doesn’t need a gift and why she may not ‘need’ a gift, I certainly don’t want her to feel unloved on her birthday. So, I made up some edible gifts for her…..
Sprouted Quinoa and Grape Salad (with red quinoa)
Mmmmmm Sauce (from Peas and Thank You)
While a bag of quinoa and chickpea dip is certainly not equal to a neatly wrapped iPad, I’d say it’s better than candle or scented body lotion….
Lucky lady!
Receiving this gift from the heart made me feel very special, and I enjoyed it all week!
Grammy
I always feel like these are the best kinds of gifts!
My Dad, who needs nothing, received a trayful of homemade baklava for Father’s Day. Him and my Mom polished it off (all 48 pieces!) in 3 days.
Your presents are even better because they are healthy, btw.
your presents look amazing! I totally agree, I love giving out presents to everyone rather than receiving!
I would LOVE that gift!!
I totally thought of you this morning – I purchased some Hail Mary Macaroons and Rawnola. YUM!
I’m still sorry that they didn’t follow through on the giveaway. I haven’t purchased any of their products since then. It’s my passive aggressive way of protesting.
food gifts are the best!
(I just replied to your comment on my blog . . . our summers here can be pretty awful, you might remember! Texas is at least dry, right?)
I spent 6 summers in MN and I’d take a MN summer over a TX summer any day. A small part of TX is dry heat, but most of it is as humid or more than the Minneapolis area. A TX winter, though, is NOTHING like a MN winter. I get annoyed when folks down here complain about the cold.
i think food is the best gift. Full of love and very personal!
