Holiday season means dinner parties, lots of them! Bringing a thoughtful gift is a nice way to thank a hostess for his/her hard work. Trade in the store-bought gift or traditional bottle of wine for a homemade unique hostess present. Make your own browned butter and maple granola! Place the finished product in a jar, dress it with kraft paper and voilà!
