Hello, magic makers! Are you in need of new Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas? I’ve got you covered!! After sharing recipes on Shutterbean for 14 years, these are my faves!

Tell your friends these walnuts are great on salads because we need the encouragement and reminders to balance out all of the cookies and stuff with greens!
I’m thinking they would be perfect in a beet salad.
