GIFTS YOU CAN MAKE

I have been trying to share gifts that you can make each week. This week for the cook, I will share some rub recipes. Be sure to check back next week for vinegar and oil recipes.

World Market has great magnet storage tins and regular tins. Check them our here. These make a great container for a fabulous rub.

MarthaStewart.com has an awesome recipe for All-Purpose Spice Rub.

I found a great Shoarma Spice Mix recipe at Food.com. You definitely will want to check it out. You can use this with so many different meats.

Food.com also has an unbelievable Gyro Spice Mix recipe. Hot and spicy but SOOOOOO good!

I love Cajun blackened fish and chicken. This Cajun Blackened Spice Mix recipe from CD Kitchen would actually make a great gift for myself. :)

This Carolina BBQ Rub from About.com will definitely please a BBQ enthusiast.

I have a Jamaican Jerk Rub recipe that is amazing, but I do not have a perfect way to figure out how to make it in a jar. After hunting around, I found a fabulous Jamaican Jerk Rub jar recipe at Better Homes and Gardens.

Lastly be sure to check out this Smokey Spice Rub recipe at Woman's Day.

I chuckled at the free fries at Burger King offer. I haven't eaten at a Burger King in at least a year or maybe two. My daughter today said "mom I have a buy one get one free for Whoppers" so.... for lunch today I had a Whopper...not sure it was worth the several hundred calories, but I at the whole thing :)
