With good nutrition and living well as goals, there is a cornucopia of foodtuffs to choose from when putting together food gifts. Following are my top suggestions to help keep friends and family with varied interests on the right track for a healthy lifestyle. o Decorated canister or basket of assorted lentils or beans with attached recipes. o Canister of flavored roasted nuts. o Assorted bittersweet chocolate along with a beribboned bottle or split of a strong fruity wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. Attach a note with info on pairing semi-sweet or milk chocolate with wine. Giving the gift of food can be an easy out in solving a gift dilemma, however when paired with special interests and healthier food options, you're sharing with the recipient how special they are. You've planned a gift expressly for them, focusing on their enjoyment, relaxation, and a healthy lifestyle. Take Away: I hope the above suggestions will give you a head start on innovative ideas for gift-giving. Just focus on the interests of the gift recipient and food options for a healthy lifestyle.
