Package Food In A Glass Jar

January 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

There are so many different ways of packaging food these days that it’s hard to decide which one to choose, especially as favours or little gifts from your kitchen, but my favourite so far has to be in a jar. It’s practical, reusable, recyclable and best of all it looks great. So I thought I would show you a few ideas for putting all sorts of food in a jar, from cheesecakes, to cakes, to cup cakes. You can place or bake anything in a jar!

But putting food in a jar doesn’t have to be limited to desserts, I have seen salads, pies and bread being baked in glass jars and they look amazing as well. [Read more...]

So that is what I have for you today, some of my favourite methods and recipes for hot chocolate and smores: [Read more...]

Halloween is here and that means you only have a few days to either make or buy your costumes. The range of ideas is endless, limited only by your imagination, so be prepared to have your brain jolted with some really good examples of acceptable Halloween ghoulishness.

A few of the ideas that we found are for children, but if you have a friend with a sewing machine, or have one yourself, then all it will take is a bit of ingenuity, a little time and you are good to go…

June 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

With the 4th of July just around the corner, it’s time to start planning those celebration parties.

Red, white & blue Ice pops, visit Tip Junkie for the recipe & make the red, white & blue garlands from felt.

So in honour of the 4th I’ve decided to do a post honouring that great American tradition. [Read more...]

Cinco de Mayo, not to be confused with the Mexican Independence Day which is on the 16th of September, is a celebration of the unlikely victory of Mexico over the French. Just think if they didn’t win, South America might have been speaking French and eating baguettes instead of churros! (Which are divine BTW).

So if you have a Cinco de Mayo celebration, wedding/ birthday whatever!, planned, it’s gotta look something like this:
