What a weekend! Such fabulous meal ideas! You’ve gotten me excited enough to even print some recipes out – and I am not a recipe collector, to say the least. So many of these are manageable and easy – and the ones that seem a little tricky are so intriguing that I have to try them (baked French Toast, for one). I also had to look up the meaning of some of the terminology from our international friends. I feel so exotic now!
I really like the theme that has run through so many of your thoughts about “pay it forward” and “pass it on.” I haven’t really thought of that before – finding inexpensive dishes to take the meals in and then let the recipient know they can “pass it on” or even keep it for themselves. It’s a heartfelt gesture and a way to go green.
So, with that to inspire me this week, I have created a little tag to go along with the meals or desserts that you graciously give to those in need. Here are some of the ways that I have learned (from you!) that a tag like this can be used:
- jot a note telling the person how much they mean to you
- regarding the dishes: tell them to “pass it on” or enjoy it for themselves
- write down an inspirational quote
- tell them a funny joke to lift their spirits
- write down the recipe for them
- list heating instructions for the food
See, there are lots of things you can do with this tag that will be “just a little something” extra to make an great meal even more extraordinary.

Share the love, spread the care…and keep the food coming! Remember – comments on my last post will be eligable to win in my latest giveaway – I’ll draw a winner for my stamps on Wednesday. Don’t worry, I have asked some people to go back and post their recipes – I will only count each person once in the giveaway. We have quite the collection of great ideas going – thanks goes to our reader, Carmel for asking the question in the first place.
Enjoy!

Note from Kolette: The download is working now. Thanks for checking back!
Help please— I cannot get this to download for some reason and I think it’s so cute—what could I be doing wrong? TIA Susan
I’m not able to get it either.
Is is just me or does everyone get a file not found message?
When you click on the “Click to download” I get a page that says page not found. Not sure what everyone else is getting.
It is a very cool tag. It is just the right thing for quick treats for family and friends for Easter Weekend.
It’s working now! Thanks for the heads up – that’s what I get for having Cole help me with my post. But since he’s so cute we’ll forgive him!
Enjoy your “little something!”
Kolette,
Glad you like my French Toast recipe. I hope you like it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cole is one lucky little boy to have such great parents!
Aha! Much better now—works like a charm. Thanks so much
Kolette, I’m just getting caught up on your blog, spent a couple of hours this morning reading yours and Jason’s. You are one amazing couple… now family. You both have the most loving, gentle, kind, and compassionate spirits I think I’ve ever “met”.
Thank you for continuing to inspire and mentor those of us in your web world. You and Jason make me look at my own life circumstances with much more thanksgiving and gratitude.
You are both such a blessing. You both willingly share your talents – your art is wonderful and Jason’s words make me weep, not only is the content moving/inspiring/conficting, but oh to be able to write like that.
Blessings to you both.
Kolette

Happy Easter!
