**This can be given as a prepared "Jar Gift" Just layer the beef flavoring, dried garlic, dried minced onion, green split peas, alphabet macaroni, lentils, barley, shell macaroni, yellow split peas and curly noodles in a clean dry jar and seal tightly with a lid. Cover Lid with a cute piece of fabric and a piece of ribbon to tie this note..."

But when you sit and eat it, remember I LOVE YOU!
