DIY Cookie Dough Gift

Happy TUESDAY! The countdown is on, only 4 more days until Christmas VACATION!!!

Yesterday was all about playing catch up at work, sweating my butt of it in Hot Yoga and then my Mom made us chili and we watched the Four Christmas’s together 🙂 It was really a great Monday!!

This morning I woke up and went straight for the yoga mat! I did 30 minutes of a lot of twists and downward facing dogs to wake up my body. I think sometimes I could do Corpse Pose (Savasana) for my whole yoga practice and it would be so beneficial!

Breakfast

Then I made the most wonderful tasting bowl of oats I have ever had!

I made my normal banana whipped oats and added in 1/3 cup of pumpkin at the end. Then I topped the oats with a 1/4 c of warm fresh cranberry sauce, almonds, granola, and a little Pumpkin Spice Silk Milk.

Only 11 more days until Christmas!!! How about a little DIY gift for the neighbors?

Remember the F&E Soups I bought back a while ago? Well I saved the jars! They made the perfect gift storage for peanut butter cookie dough balls. It’s all about recycling!

I made Mama Peas Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls first.

Then I put them in the jars.

TO MAKE:

The cute tops of these jars cost me less then $2. I got the fabric at Joanne’s Fabrics as well as the ribbon. You just cut the fabric into small circles and place it on top of the jar. You then use a rubber band to hold the fabric down and then finish it off with some cute ribbon. Each jar holds a half a dozen cookies.

These make the best gifts for neighbors and co-workers!

Question: Have you made any gifts yet this year?

Holiday Quote for Today:

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.
