Unusual Food Food gifts are fun to make and give during the holiday season. They are economical and a nice way to say “Happy Holidays” to friends, neighbors and teachers, as well as hosts and hostesses. The following three recipes for gift giving were created in the test kitchens of the American Dairy Association. The recipes, featuring popular dairy products, have contemporary appeal and holiday flair. A homemade Basic Salad Dressing Mix, made with dairy sour cream and buttermilk, is a versatile and tasty recipe worth sharing with friends. Add chunks of Blue cheese to the basic mix and it becomes Blue Cheese Dressing. Or accent the basic recipe with tomato paste, grated Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs for a Creamy Italian Dressing. Either is delicious over salad greens and can be served as a dip with raw vegetables. Rich Holiday Muffins, flavored with dairy eggnog, butter, candied cherries, nuts and currants, are a perfect treat for a holiday brunch, lunch or tea. The muffins can be baked in individual foil cups and presented in a colorful box, a wicker basket, wooden sleigh or a beribboned plastic bag. Note on the greeting card that the muffins will keep at room temperature up to a week or may be frozen for a month before using. Your pasta-loving friends will rave about Creamy Pesto Sauce, prepared with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and the traditional blend of parsley, basil, garlic and nuts. The sauce may be made in a food processor or blender. You’ll want to pack it in a jar for refrigerator storage and provide directions for using. Decorate the gift package with pasta or provide some spaghetti or fettucini along with the sauce. Happy holiday food gifting.
