Sometimes I need a can of cherry pie filling for a recipe. But DANG have you priced that little can of filling? And there’s often lots of filling but precious little actual cherry in those cans.
But it’s simple to make your own gluten-free pie filling using canned or frozen cherries.

One inexpensive bag of pink Himalayan mineral soak can result in several sweet gifts in just minutes. I buy the big bag and section off into several small jars. Then decorate the jars for giving. A sweet, very inexpensive gift.

Don’t resort to the powdered stuff sold in packets. Homemade hot cocoa is delicious & only uses cocoa, sugar & milk – flavored with vanilla & a few miniature marshmallows floating on top. So easy! (and there’s a secret flavoring ingredient that intensifies the chocolate taste. shhhhh….)

Whelp, the holidays are over y’all. Our Christmas was grand, I hope you all had a great one too! As I’m looking over the gifts so purposely given to RancherMan & me, I’m incredibly touched at the thoughtfulness of them.
Many of you like to give low-waste gifts so I thought it would be fun to share some of the fun gifts that RancherMan & I received. They were environmentally friendly low-waste Christmas gifts and very well suited to our tastes.
