Christmas in July

Two christmas' ago I wanted to add something special to my co-workers gifts.

 CC and I both use what we call our house seaosning A LOT. We use different measurements but the same 3 ingredients. I mixed the 3 ingredients together in a bowl you may want to wear a bandana over your nose and mouth I got very watery eyes and felt as if I was having an allergy attack but it was totally worth the allergy attack, my co-workers LOVED it.

1/4 c. Pure ground pepper
1/4 c. Sea Salt
1/2 c. Garlic Powder
Mix together. My seaoning at home I have in a small container with a lid but for the gifts I purchased glass containers at World Market, 4pk/3.99. Added some curling ribbon and gift.

Happy Giving! Will probably give these out again this year. Have you started your Christmas shopping?
