Food is much more than nourishment, it also gets people together, nurturing love and friendships. In that spirit, a friend gave my little girl a bowl of sour cake mixture, to be called Herman, along with a letter containing some instructions on how to care for it. My 4 years old daughter was very excited and felt very special to have been chosen to look after Herman. She wanted to be part of the all caring & baking process and could not wait to make another friend feel special too. Herman the friendship cake could be compared to an edible chain letter. I thought that it was a simple and lovely gesture. So go on, spread a little happiness and start a new friendship chain. What’s more, the baked cake was very tasty too!
Food makes people happy and it is an easy and thoughtful way to spread the joy all year round by gifting delicious home-made treats. Get the kids involved in the preparation too, they will love it. Home-made presents are also a great way to treat your nearest and dearest for a special occasion whilst on a budget. Taking time and giving special attention to prepare the gift will make it extra special.
For inspiration, here is a small selection of some of Mums Spaghetti recipes that could be perfect give-aways: Apple Jelly; Gooey Crunchy Chocolate Squares; Chocolate Chips Banana Muffins; Fruity Flapjacks or Fairy Cakes.
Love, Mums Spaghetti xx
