Friday was definitely my most exciting and active day of my July 2024 trip. Here are the highlights: In an effort to save time (and $), I ditched my early morning exploration of UWS coffee shops, opting for convenience and settling on the Wandering Bear iced coffee my brother-in-law has in the fridge in their…
Fine dining at the only vegan restaurant with THREE Michelin stars My recent trip to New York culminated in a long-awaited visit to Eleven Madison Park. Please know that I am not a professional restaurant critic. But, as a vegan food and restaurant enthusiast, I’ve dreamed of dining here since 2021 when I heard that…
I spent the last 9 days of my 2024 summer break in New York City. On my “solo” trip, I explored vegan restaurants and vegan eats, balanced with A LOT of walking! I love my location at my relatives’ UWS place. Travel Day 1 I chose an mid-morning American Airlines flight from SFO to JFK,…
We spent a June weekend in Juneau before embarking on a 10 day sailing excursion through Glacier Bay. In this post I’m sharing some highlights of our activities, and of course my vegan meals with my non-vegan group! The two main sites we planned to visit were Mendenhall Glacier and Mount Roberts.

Disclaimer: This blog post addresses cultivated mushrooms vs. wild mushrooms, and especially not truffles (are they really mushrooms?). Neither does this blog post discuss “magic mushrooms”* (mushrooms containing psilocybin). Why and How I Eat Mushrooms Practically Everyday! Yes, I really do eat (and/or drink) mushrooms almost every day. The more I learn about the health benefits…
February is both Black History Month AND American Heart Month, so I’d like to address the topic of plant-based (vegan) eating in the black community. Such a shift could alleviate and even reverse the high mortality rates from heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other deadly chronic diseases that afflict this demographic. Disclaimer: I am a…
I like to share examples of meals and dishes we enjoy at home that are delicious, nutritious and easy to make. Here I integrated batch cooking for the week into my dinner preparation.
