I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

    I made soup containers for my family last Christmas, went down really well! Got glass containers from IKEA, layered lentils, beans/herbs/pasta/seasonings in a decorative way. Looks pretty, throw in a pot when lazy!

        First time trying to add an image! Hopefully works! I did several different varieties, bought green split peas, yellow split peas, red lentils, kidney beans, pearl barley, powdered stock, dried herbs, and I added a separated bag of macaroni so it can be put in later in the cooking method. Super easy, dump it in a pot and add water, add pasta when almost done!

      This is such a cute personalized gift idea, I love it! Can the containers be put in the freezer?

        Maybe? I’ve never heard of freezing dry ingredients before as they are usually shelf stable, shouldn’t need to put in the fridge or freezer
