Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Canning
Health Notes from Dr. Liz
“Putting up” a jar of luscious strawberry jam or pickling a bushel of cucumbers gives you the satisfaction that comes with completing a project yourself. DIY canning also brings you a connection to family, culture and even heritage along with some bonus health and environmental benefits.

Chips
These are, by far, my favorite all–natural, handmade potato chips! They’re made from fresh Bakersfield potatoes, which are hand sliced, slow cooked in safflower oil, and then lightly salted with French Mediterranean sea salt.

Seventh Generation Bath Tissue
If every household in the country were to replace one 12–pack of non–recycled bathroom tissue with a 12–pack of Seventh Generation 100 percent recycled toilet paper, we could save 1.9 million trees, 690 million gallons of water, and 4.8 million cubic feet of landfill space.

Krave Jerky
Fulfill your craving with Krave Jerky, a healthy game day snack! Locally produced in Sonoma, Krave jerky has no nitrates, hormones or artificial flavors and is made with all-natural lean cut meats. Each variety comes with pairing suggestions on the packaging. Misha, our beer specialist, has put together these excellent suggestions.
KRAVE JERKY Chili Lime pairs great with Corona and a wedge of lime when you need to cool off from the spicy chili heat. If you love spice and bold flavors, pair this with a nice citrusy India Pale Ale like Stone IPA from San Diego. Available in 22 oz. ($4.39) and 6 pks. ($10.99).
KRAVE JERKY Sweet Honey Chipotle pairs great with Newcastle Brown Ale. Newcastle has nice rich caramel malt flavor and a smooth finish that match up nicely with the jerky’s honey and chipotle taste.

Jo’s Candies
In my family, the season isn’t complete without some of Jo’s Peppermint Bark—we hide it, freeze it, share it and fight over the last piece! It’s made with Guittard premium chocolate infused with natural peppermint oil, and topped with additional layers of white chocolate and peppermint candy pieces.

101 Cookies in a Jar
If you cannot find the right shape of cookie cutter in this jar, then you do not need it! If your son wants to spell out his name in sugar cookies, he can do it. If your daughter wants cookies in the shape of a 5 for her 5th birthday, it can be done. Cats and pumpkins for Halloween, candy canes and snowmen for Christmas—this tub of fun has everything a heart (or should I say, tummy) can desire.
