Swap and Shop

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

My Winter Gastronomy Swap partner finally got my package, so I can show you the contents of all the blue boxes.

swap

Everything all wrapped up. I thought since it was a Winter Swap that icy blue wrapping was in order.

swap

2 giant bowls for soup, pasta or huge servings of hot chocolate with home made marshmallows.

penguin collection

One box of penguin cookies.

penguin cookies

6 penguin and 6 snowflakes.

cook book

I made a little recipe binder, using a linen binder that we had on hand (we send them out to Event Planners with photos of our cookies)

cook book

I included recipes for Creamy Tomato Soup, Macaroni and Cheese, Hot Toddies, and more. All things you would enjoy cozying up with on a cold winter night. Dave printed them in chocolate brown copy with a little snowflake graphic.

swap

A bottle of Maple Syrup from our local sugar house, home made coconut/almond marshmallows and Sweet Spiced Pecans.

swap

A snowflake embroidered towel and 6 snowman sponges to clean up after cooking all those Winter dishes.

swap

There is also a jar of Lentils du Puy so Sarah can make the lentil soup recipe in her new book.

I truly hope she tries some of the recipes, they are all favorites in our house.

What do we all think of a Sweet Spring Swap in April???? It’s a little early but if we have enough takers, I’ll get my act together now!

    I am thoroughly enjoying my package…had hot chocolate with a marshmallow and 1/2 a cookie for breakfast (not the most nutritious morning meal but yummy!). I will be making the lentil soup and the mac-n-cheese very soon.

    I’d like to swap again…after Easter?

    Beautiful packaging Laura. You really gave some nice cool stuff, and I saw your package in the previous post. You got some pretty nice treasures. I might do the Spring swap, I do like the excitement of it. Take care sister, and have a great day.
