The holidays are a great reason to get into the spirit of giving, but the hustle and bustle of the season can make it hard for many of us to act on our good intentions.
That’s why we love that this super-easy recipe can be quickly whipped up in your kitchen or packaged into festive mason jars as the perfect gift for teachers or for anyone else on your list! Egg Farmers of Canada and Food Banks Canada teamed up and partnered with celebrity chefs from across the country to create recipes that give time back to Canadians to spend time with family and friends, and support those in need.
This one, by Chef Lynn, is one of our favourites. Enjoy!
