For those parents with Teens getting ready to leave the nest..

Putting a scrap book together.. or a family cook book.. (3 ring binder and family recipes along with all the cute decos you wish to add are all you need for this.. and they will appreciate it.. You can get small little recipe books that you add the recipes in.. and put together a basket containing items such as measuring cups, whisks, Measuring spoons, maybe a timer.. and whatever else you see.. and most you can pick up at the grocery store..
