Neighborly Gifts

Summertime often brings new neighbors. What better way to welcome them than with homemade fare! Although a casserole is a fine tradition, think outside the pan with these fun ideas:

• A batch of homemade granola in a mason jar
• A sampling of fruits of veggies from the garden *don't forget a bunch of fresh herbs too
• A loaf of homemade bread with a small jar of jam or apple butter
• Homemade muffins or a homemade frozen cookie dough log
• If neighbors are new to the area, include a list of your favorite restaurants and entertainment, along with a local magazine.
• Don't forget to include your phone number!
