    Mix It Up With Jenny - Eggs-tra Special Easter Treats

    (Family Features) - I love making Easter baskets really special. It's a fun tradition to put some nontraditional
    treats and surprises into each basket. I like to look for little gifts that say a lot about the person getting them.

    Sports stickers for the little athlete, movie tickets for the film buff...what kinds of egg-stras do you like to give?>

    For younger kids, try sidewalk chalk, bubbles and bubble wands, and coloring books of their favorite characters.

    Older kids might enjoy a new journal, cd or gift card.

    Who says grown-ups can't join in the Easter fun? Give your special someone a favorite DVD or a
    certificate for a fun night out together.

    As always, I'll be including some homemade goodies in all the baskets.

    These darling Easter Nests are a cinch to make - and taste great, too.

    And the Very Best Fudge is a delicious addition to any Easter basket! I'm glad it makes a lot, so there's plenty to go around.

    Adam Gertler's Use Up the Box Pantry Tips



  • Punchy Potatoes: Add a teaspoon of prepared horseradish or Dijon mustard and a sprinkle of garlic powder to Hungry Jack Instant Mashed Potatoes for gourmet flavor ready in less than five minutes.

  • Make dry spices last: Ground spices tend to lose pungency rather quickly. Buy spices like cinnamon, cayenne pepper, cumin, nutmeg, cloves and allspice whole and grind small batches as you need them. It's a good idea to have a separate coffee grinder for your spices.

  • Save room and keep dry goods fresh: When you get home from the grocery store, transfer flours, pastas, cereals and other dry grains into resealable storage bags or containers. Simply label and date them with a marker, and you'll be surprised at how much extra room you'll have in your pantry.
