The past year or two I've had several opportunities to make dinner for families who just had a baby or someone who is sick. I'm never really sure what kind of food to make. Last night I decided to make Chicken Chili for someone, but I wasn't certain the best way to transport liquid without spilling it all over.
My first thought was a plastic container. However, my husband (the logical man that he is) suggested a glass jar. BRILLIANT! I cut out some patterned paper to line the top of each jar and tied a cute bow around the top. Botta-bing, Botta-bang - dinner is served!
I also added a plate of muffins and a little dessert to complete the meal (and a little container of shredded cheese and a little container of sour cream to eat with the chili). The beauty of giving away soup in a jar is that it saves nicely in the fridge to eat the next day and if for some reason the person you are leaving dinner for is not quite home yet, you can just leave it on their front porch in pretty much any weather condition. Love it!
