We're always on the lookout for upcoming trends, and there's no better place to spot them than at the Fancy Foods show, where thousands of exhibitors display the latest and greatest edibles they've developed for the mass market. There was some trends you could probably guess were huge — everything was gluten-free! — but here are a few that you probably didn't.

The Dairy Free Diva Recipe Exchange
Can't have cow's milk? Try these recipes!
In 2007 I gave up dairy for health reasons and began this group. Then, in late 2009, I went vegan---also for health reasons. So even though the group is called The Dairy Free Diva, it's really become the Animal Product Free recipe exchange. Obviously, you can substitute meat into any of the dishes, but I encourage you to give the meat alternatives a try and see for yourself that vegan food is full of flavor and taste and not all the calories and fat!
Enjoy the posts and recipes and feel free to add your own delicious dairy-free and meat free concoctions!

In between the Guy Fieri salsa and the bacon salt stands at the Fancy Foods Show, Team Yum stumbled upon something we had never seen before: Mario Batali wine. Unlike the orange-clogged chef's pasta sauces, the wine bottles do not have Batali's face plastered across the front of them. Instead, the new bottlings are elegantly labeled and expected to hit the West Coast market at Cost Plus stores soon.
We tasted two of the three varietals, the Prosecco and Chianti (the Pinot Grigio wasn't chilled), and were pleasantly surprised by the drinkability of both. The Prosecco was a classic sparkler true to the Veneto region of Italy with a delightful dryness, crisp body, and simply delicious flavor. The Chianti was earthy, smooth, and full-bodied. Both will retail at under $20, making them an affordable option for your everyday wine selection.
So tell me: the next time you follow one of Batali's recipes, would you be interested in pairing it with one of his wines?
Meet Jennifer Aniston! We're giving away the chance of a lifetime to meet Jennifer Aniston before the release of her new movie, Just Go With It. You will receive a trip for you and a friend to Los Angeles, where you will be able to meet — and interview! — Jen in person for PopSugar. We're looking for Jennifer's biggest fan, so prove you're it by taking our trivia quiz about her amazing career now.
Tonight at the White House, chefs Cristeta Comerford and Bill Yosses are cooking up a special state dinner. Although the official menu has yet to be released, it is said that the Chinese delegation and the Obamas will dine on food that is "quintessentially American." But what exactly does that mean?
When I lived in Spain and people asked me to make "American food," I always served fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, so I guess that's what I consider to be the United States' signature dish. However, it's hard to pick just one dish, as pizza, burgers, and Caesar salads also come to mind. Which foods do you think are all-American? Please share with us below!

The Fancy Foods Show is a giant food industry trade show that happens twice a year. The Winter event takes place in San Francisco and thus, we've spent the past two days eating our way through the whole thing. While there are plenty of trends to discuss (stay tuned for those!), our favorite part of the show are the mind-blowing bites and intriguing sips that we found as we wound our way around the Moscone Center. Pepperoni pesto? Spicy Spanish guindillas? Goat's milk caramels? Keep reading for all our delicious discoveries!
It was only a matter of time: this morning, Starbucks launched a new mobile app that enables customers to pay for any food or beverage using the technology of a smartphone.
The Starbucks Card Mobile App is designed for iPhones, the iPod Touch, and the BlackBerry and should work at 7,500 locations in the US, including the stores inside Target. The app allows users to view and reload their Starbucks card balance, find participating locations, and check on card rewards. This morning, I tested it out. To see my thoughts, keep reading.
Ice wine, as we in the US call it, is a delicious dessert wine I discovered in my wine tasting travels to British Columbia, Canada. If you, too, happen to be visiting our northern neighbor (or live there!), there are festivals dedicated to the special vino taking place right now, like the Niagara Icewine Festival or the Okanagan's Winter Icewine Festival. So in honor of this crisp, sweet wine, I've put together a quiz to test your smarts on the grape-derived drink. Let's see what you've got!
