Whether you have already finished your holiday shopping (yes, I know a few people that have and no, I am definitely not one of them!) hopefully these seven homemade gift\u00a0ideas can help you with that list or become a treat you give yourself. (Also, for more ideas, check out these 21 Foodie Gifts that Give Back<\/a> – a list I compiled a few years ago – all gifts are tied to charities.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cooking Light’s Cranberry Lemon Curd
\n<\/a><\/strong>If there’s anyone on your gift list who likes lemon curd, they will adore this. While a tart fruit curd traditionally goes with scones and tea, I’ve\u00a0spooned it into yogurt, spread it over whole-grain toast and have swirled it into oatmeal – divine!<\/p>\n

\"Vanilla<\/p>\n

Vanilla Spice Gift Set
\n<\/strong><\/a>Make homemade vanilla extract, vanilla sugar and vanilla salt in minutes! Here’s my Facebook Live demo on how to make the set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rich Hot Cocoa Mix
\n<\/a><\/strong>Not only is this delicious as a cocoa mix, I like to add a spoonful to morning coffee to make a mocha coffee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Curried Pecans
\n<\/strong><\/a>These are a delicious treat by themselves but equally delicious when tossed into salads, whole grain dishes or paired with tuna salad.<\/p>\n

\"Popcorn<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter Popcorn Crunch<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Leave this protein and fiber-rich\u00a0snack out for Santa instead of cookies!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sweet Ginger Pear and Apple Chips<\/a><\/strong>
\nMy dietitian business partner Serena likes to put these into a mason jar and give them as teacher gifts. Here’s her Facebook Live demonstrating how to make them.)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Homemade Whole Wheat Baking Mix
\n<\/a><\/strong>A great swap for Bisquick, you can use this mix for pancakes, waffles, scones, muffins…the list goes on!<\/p>\n
