  Homemade caramel, butterscotch or fudge sauce – most people seem to think they come from the supermarket, and are very appreciative when they receive and taste the homemade versions. The bonus is that they are easy to make!

  When my mother was dying, a friend came and cooked dinner for me and my father three nights running. i couldn't tell you a single dish I ate in that time, but the love is something I still feel twenty-five years later.

  When a dear pal was going through chemo, I would come by once a week or so and leave some homemade soup — she loves soup. We pretended the little gifts were left by the "soup fairy." (She pulled through and is doing great.)

  Homemade hot coco or caramel is probably my biggest hits. My husband seems to think you can only buy these type of things in the store and it always amazes him that you can actually make this stuff at home. I just asked him the other day, how else does he think food gets cook!!

• lovelily1001  on  November 13, 2015

  best food gift has to be the vermont maple oat cake my dear extravagant friend made for me. it had such a great flavor, with all that maple and the granola like mixture on the sides. still my favorite cake.
