A trip to New York never feels like enough time - So much good food to eat and so many things to do! Here are some of my top picks for a weekend trip filled with amazing food and activites all across NYC :)
I only source food from organic and grass-fed and finished privately or employee owned small business brands. If they are owned by corporations, they shouldn't be on this list (but it sure is hard to keep up as many sell out eventually). See “Where to Order” as most of the products and brands you'll find here are available from either Vitacost or iHerb online or Azure Standard or both. You can also buy them directly from the brand, but that only makes sense if you want them in bulk (due to minimum purchases required to get free shipping). Vitacost has free shipping for $50+ orders and a lot of promotions and discounts. Be sure to check their “Promo Pocket” tabs.NOTE: I only recommend brands and products owned by private or employee owned companies. But you can buy them through corporations which is sometimes the only local or online source if the brand doesn't retail their products online. And sadly, most brands price very high on their own sites because they don't want to compete with the retailers. For example, Chewy is publicly traded and 80% owned by private equity. Vitacost sold out to Kroger = corporate owned. The problem is they both are massive and have deals with shippers, so their prices are vastly lower than anywhere else.

We all have a sweet tooth, right? It's just about how you indulge that craving. For me, it was always about the gummy snacks that came into their own and then came to dominate the nineties and the aughts. It's these two decades that the sticky, stretchy and colorful confectionary really came into its own, and became a household staple for millennials. Distribution played a major role in the gummy genres graduation from Robin to Nightwing, and it's ability to stand toe-to-toe with the Dark Knight (chocolate), but it's also the range that we see in the gummy sector that's made it a favorite. Whether you're into sour, sweet, shapes, colors, themes, gel-filled or stretchy, there's something for everyone out there. That's why I keep a trove next to my bed. What's your go-to?

I've been having to eat completely gluten free because of celiac disease for over 10 years, and I've tried a ton of foods during that time. I reorder most of these every month. I'm an avid snacker and these are some of my favorite snacks and drinks. They're also some of the most affordable tasty snacks I've found and a lot of them would be great toddler snacks and snacks for kids. It's taken a lot of trial and error and searching to find snacks without my various allergens, which include oats, almonds, and corn. I don't eat anything that says it's processed on equipment where wheat or gluten is also processed so you can rest assured these are truly gluten free. They're also all dairy free, though be sure to read the ingredients for processing equipment warnings if you have a dairy allergy.
Canning was super intimidating when I first started. Small-batch canning helped me get over that fear and actually preserve food that my family could use! Sharing the tools and resources I use to process smaller amounts of food.
