9 Bacon Salt

9. Bacon Salt: It didn’t have a great deal of salt in it (well for a salt product) and I was curious to see how I could use it. The first thought was sprinkled on pasta, salad or soups for an added flavour hit but really once you think about it the possibilities are endless and you will count yourself lucky. Especially when people arrive early and that 5 minutes you saved making a seasoning meant that you could actually answer the door fully dressed and not wearing a towel ???? (via Not Quite Nigella)

10 Chai Tea Mix

10. Chai Tea Mix: This is one of my absolutely favorite things to give away at the holiday time. It makes a great gift, especially if given with a hand-thrown mug and one of those long, involved novels that are best read in January. (Armchair optional.) It’s also great to keep a few batches on hand as hostess or last-minute gifts. (via The Kitchn)
