Since I am mostly vegan and am a teetotaler, I am reviewing the best vegan foods and snacks plus alcohol-free bevies for July 4th. Hope this helps others with the same lifestyle choices.

Dozens of studies show that a vegan diet is better for your health. While I still eat fish occasionally, I am vegan 98% of the time. However staying vegan has required tons of experimentation to find the best vegan alternatives to my favorite films. Fortunately, nowadays there is a plant-based version of every type of food. Here are my faves for Summer 2024!
The Summer Fancy Food show is one of my favorite trade shows as it offers thousands of food brands and an opportunity to discover new brands to cover and feature in my pages.
I wrote this back in 2016. But, Lord knows, I need good fortune in 2024 after having one of the most tumultuous years of my life. In addition, we are going into an election year that will decide whether Americans still live in a democracy or not. So, I am reposting this story with the hopes that we will all — individually and as a nation — have good fortune in 2024.
I ate mostly vegan with a bit of fish for 6 years. I had to add chicken back to my diet while I had health issues but I plan to try to reduce it or eliminate it again soon. Here are the vegan products that are staples in my pantry and fridge right now.
My favorite food event of the year, the Summer Fancy Food Show, hits NYC from June 25th to June 27th. In its 71st year, this year’s event will cover nearly 300,000 square feet of floor space at the Javits Center in New York and feature thousands of artisan products from more than 2,000 domestic and global specialty food and beverage makers and manufacturers.
Citi Taste Of Tennis, a culinary and tennis event that kicks off major tennis tournaments and features leading chefs and the world’s top tennis players, has been one of my favorite events for over 13 years now! I am so happy that they were able to have it again this year. Read on for pics and deets!
TGATP is so happy to announce that after a 2-year break due to the Covid_19 pandemic, the Summer Fancy Food Show is live and in-person at the Javits Center in NYC from June 11 to the 14th.
