Crazy Sexy Diet

The Date: Thursday, October 14

The Delivery: Crazy Sexy Diet: Eat Your Veggies, Ignite Your Spark, and Live Like You Mean It! by Kris Carr

Staff Pick: Crazy Sexy Diet

The DL: Continuing our week of books-we've-been-eagerly-anticipating comes Kris Carr's follow up to her first book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, wherein she inspired cancer sufferers and their loved ones all over the world with her refusal to let her cancerous diagnosis stop her from continuing to try to heal in many ways; among them with a plant-based diet, yoga, meditation, and an ultra-positive, playful attitude. Crazy Sexy Diet, which will be published in January, features Carr and her trademark sass, this time focussing completely on a healing veg diet, and including contributors such as Dr. Neal Barnard and Skinny Bitch's Rory Freedman. We expect to, once again, be crazy-sexy-inspired!

Audio Book Bonanza!

The Date: Thursday, August 5
The Delivery: Several Audiobooks from Blackstone Audio
Staff Pick: The Skinny Bastard audiobook by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, read by Hillary Huber

The DL: Don't have time to open a book? Well, there's always time to listen, so why not listen to a book on tape? Now there's no excuse, and all of these audiobooks are relevant to veganism in some way, so sit back, and get educated!

Speaking of Skinny Bastard, we're reading its predecessor, Skinny Bitch, over at the VegNews Book Club. Pick up a copy—or audiobook—and join the discussion!

Musical Monday

Date: Monday, October 5
The Delivery: Some new gluten-free cereal from Nature's Path and a CD
Staff Pick: The new album from The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, ...and the horse you rode in on

The DL: This band has collectively been vegan and vegetarian for more than 30 years, and two of its members work at veg restaurants, including The Chicago Diner. We look forward to hearing the new tunes!

A signed Skinny Bitch collection is being given away at VegNews.com. Check it out!

Savory Salsa

Date: Monday, April 13
The Delivery: An armful of books, and some salsas and sauces
Staff Pick: The pineapple salsa from Organicville

The DL: This salsa seems to have many good qualities. First, it's a condiment. Second, it's organic. And third, it looks to have a sweet kick, and not just any sweet kick, but an agave-nectar-sweetened kick. And we sure do love our agave nectar here at the VNHQ.

Speaking of things we love, the cinnamon buns from Sticky Fingers Bakery definitely tops the list, and we're giving away not one, but six of them over at VegNews.com. Hurry on over for a chance to win!
