Gift Ideas
Jaarsma Bakery, Iowa
Gift idea for this holiday season: Every year my aunt & uncle Hanson from Iowa send us these great Dutch pastries. All-natural ingredients baked onsite in Iowa. Consistency is excellent. We get the Traditionally Dutch Collection. I haven’t tried anything besides the pastries.
Also, Vintage Pyrex (made before 1998) can be used in the oven. Best possible find at Goodwill!
