#FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions | Summer Fresh Foods

“In this series we bring you our #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions which we personally recommend”

I think it’s about time to give yourself a little gift this holiday season. My recommendation is snacks from Summer Fresh, so many great ones to choose from.

Several years ago when our extended family were all in the same postal code we could easily be 25 for the holidays. Consequently, you look for and learn about shortcuts and good ideas. One of those ideas was to forget about the nutrition factor of your vegetables for one day of the year. The suggestion was to prep your veggies on the 24th and give yourself more relaxing time on the 25th.

I put that idea into practise. It has become a tradition in our house to work together to get things done so we can enjoy the big day even more. That means a team of potato, yam and carrot peelers, brussel sprout cutters, bread cubers, and pastry rollers. I think you get the idea.

Of course no holiday event would be complete without a mix of movies; Love Actually, A Christmas Carol, and the original Nutcracker ballet keep us focused on the fun side of chores.

So what’s a family tradition without snacks? This year I purchased a number of Summer Fresh hummus and dips. Add pita and taco chips and it’s going to be a “prep party” at our house on the 24th.

Can you blame me? These are all so good!

It’s the APPYEST time of the year!
