Gifting food: care package

a friend just had a baby so i decided to make Orzo (from WOM) to take to her. along with some sweets. :) very important for new moms!

i packed the orzo in one of the many plastic containers i have (we use these to store frozen soups, bought from smart & final)

i dressed it up by using some decorative paper. i cut out a circle to fit the lid, and used double-sided tape to attach it.










using the same decorating paper, i cut a long strip to cover the ziploc part of a bag. (with the rice crispy treats inside)

just staple the paper into place












also included in the care package is a half loaf of banana bread. wrapped in freezer paper (waxed side in, paper side out)

sealed with double-sided tape and some strips of the same decorative paper.












finally, i packed it all in a white bag, with a bit of the same decorative paper to make it all tie together. (recycled shopping bag, covering the logo)

very matchy matchy, hahaha, but just a quick way to put things together for a last minute food gift!

** can i say.. the orzo is DELICIOUS!! i didn't think i would like the feta, but wow. made it twice now. very addictive **
