And yet, just as MySpace is a mere memory, it's time to move on from our blogs as well. On that note, we couldn't be more thrilled to debut <a href="http://vegnews.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">VegNews on Tumblr</a>! We'll meld behind-the-scenes scoop such as what's for lunch and the newest products arriving at the office with our favorite content from around the web, event photos, and more. It's a bit bittersweet to say so long to the blogs we've worked so hard to build, but, well, they're just so five years ago. As always, thank you for reading.

<br />
<b>The DL: </b>The arrival of these gluten-free, vegan ice pops had the VN staff in a tizzy—especially once we realized that these were no ordinary popsicles.

<br />
<b>The DL: </b>Though few members of the VN team would turn down a sugary treat (remember that <a href="http://sfveganbakesale.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">bake sale</a> we enthusiastically endorsed yesterday?), we sometimes need something a little more substantial. Slathered in lemon-garlic hummus, this frozen falafel wrap from TaDah! Foods seems like a easy, quick way to get our savory fix—plus the company's name is really fun to say.

<br />
<b>The DL: </b>Vicki Chelf's new book contains a plethora of delicious-sounding recipes, covering everything from simple sushi to faux Cheez Whiz. Though her desserts use healthy ingredients such as silken tofu, dates, and brown-rice syrup, from what we can tell, they don't skimp on the sweetness. Perhaps we'll whip up Chelf's Tofu-Carob Brownies or No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies later this month for the <a href="http://sfveganbakesale.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">SF Vegan Bakesale</a>.

<b>Staff Pick: </b><i>Main Street Vegan</i><br />
<br />
<b>The DL: </b>All of us here at VegNews are huge fans of Victoria Moran, and we're delighted about her new book! <i>Main Street Vegan</i> isn't just preaching about the many benefits of veganism (though, as we all know, there are many)—it's showing everyone on Main Street (remember that?) how easy it is to be vegan, no matter where you live or how much money you make. We have a feeling this will be gifted to a lot of reluctant friends and family come birthdays, holidays, Tuesdays...<br />

Enter Isabella's Cooking Company, which sent us products from its vegan cookie line—an act that caused a chorus of cheers to erupt throughout VNHQ. Some VN staffers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of <i>The Hunger Games</i> (starring vegan actor Woody Harrelson!), which hits theaters tonight at midnight, but there are several other intriguing movies out this spring.

</div><b>The Delivery: </b>An assortment of vegan sandwiches and wraps from <a href="http://www.uptonsnaturals.com/" target="_blank">Upton's Naturals</a>!<br />
<br />
<b>The DL: </b>We considered this delivery of scrumptious sandwiches an extended celebration of yesterday's Great American Meatout. And the good news didn't stop there—in the same day these sandwiches arrived, we saw sunshine for the first time in weeks! Simply coincidence? Probably. But who doesn't like believing in the magic of seitan sandwiches? If you want to keep celebrating Meatout, check out our <a href="http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=4331&catId=7" target="_blank">interview with its founder</a> and an <a href="http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=4318&catId=11" target="_blank">exclusive recipe for Ranch Burgers</a> from the queen of veggie burgers herself, Joni Marie Newman!<br />

<br />
<b>The DL: </b>Author Ani Phyo won our hearts in past with her raw-food cookbooks, so it's no surprise that her latest book was one of our <a href="http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=4232&catId=6" target="_blank">most anticipated of the year</a>. Part raw-foods primer and part recipe book, <i>Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast</i> promises to help you shed up to 15 pounds in 15 days. But don't think that going raw means munching on salads all day—Phyo's palatable plan includes recipes for dishes such as raw fudge brownies with fresh berries and spicy bok choy soup. Follow Phyo's lead and get your raw fix by grabbing some <a href="http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=3173&catId=7" target="_blank">seasonal spring produce</a> at your local farmer's market.
