If you love food as I do, you know that a gift of food is a gift of love. We all need to eat, and some of us like to eat more than others, like me! That’s why I wanted to put together a list of food delivery and culinary gift services for foodies you can order online. If you’re like me, I always get excited when I get a box or basket filled with edible goodies. It’s always a treat.
I’ve also included smart eating food items, kitchen gadgets, and other culinary related items true foodies will love.

Eat smart for good health
I’m a huge promoter of eating real food because it helps us enhance our quality of life and our longevity. My philosophy is to eat smart – That means to consume food that’s “clean” and not filled with junk. If you simply avoid packaged, processed and chemically enhanced food you will be ahead of the game. Even some items sold at health food stores are suspicious. Always read the labels.

Being a food lover who hates to be deprived, I created a food pyramid for health-conscious Baby Boomers who want to stay well, live long, and look better as they age.
Smart eating doesn’t mean you have to cut out nutritious food groups. Eating is something to be enjoyed.

- Eat Me Guilt Free is a woman-owned company. Cristie Besu is a registered nurse and nutritionist. She was concerned with some of her client’s cravings for sweets and wanted to create a product that would be nutritious but still satisfy their cravings. Each product has added protein and is low in carbs. The cookies, protein, and tortilla wraps are vegan and the brownies are vegetarian. You can order all the products online or at a Vitamin Shoppe location near you. I especially liked the tortilla wraps and bread. Just smear a little avocado or your favorite sandwich filling and you’re good to go Guilt-Free.

Water is life
If you’re a food lover you probably also love kitchenware and gadgets. I know I do. They make great gifts for foodies who enjoy them as well.
- Brita LongLast Pitcher – Los Angeles has awful tasting water but I don’t want to spend a huge amount of money on a water filter system. I’ve always loved my Brita pitcher because my water always tastes fine after it’s filtered. I prefer Brita over Zero because it is better tasting. My LongLast filter has been wonderful and has a light on top that will tell me when it’s time to replace it.
And then there are favorite kitchen gadgets
The gadgets below are kitchen tools I can’t live without.
- Garlic Rocker Crusher Mincer – I bought one of these and it’s my favorite tool for crushing garlic. Just roll it over the clove.

This Rosle Can Opener is my absolute fave. Once you figure out how it works it opens cans perfectly without any sharp edges and it has a grabber to pop the lid off.
