Veg-Condiment Extravaganza!

The Delivery: Dips, spreads, and sauces from Follow Your Heart

The DL: We were so excited to receive this shipment of dips and spreads from Follow Your Heart, the condiment geniuses behind Vegenaise. Their arrival caused an immediate frenzy over their potential uses—the Tartar Sauce on tempeh fish sticks and the Horseradish Sauce on veg bánh mi sandwiches were two drool-inducing suggestions. Couple the arrival of that thrilling package with the presence of two of VegNews' resident furry friends Cal and Khane, and you’ve got the making of a truly excellent day. Brighten up yours by checking out these fun facts about farm animals. Enjoy!

The DL: Only dogs could hear most of the squeals of excitement erupting from VNHQ today. Our beautiful (do you see that cover?!), exciting, filled-to-the-gills VegNews Magazine March+April issue is in our grateful, loving hands, and will soon be in yours too. From world-changing geniuses to a vegan bucket list, this issue has it all and more (including some delectable tacos, peeking out onto the cover). This is quite possibly the best Valentine's Day gift we at VNHQ have ever received. Happy Friday!

Nice to Meet Ya, Babycakes

Staff Pick: We want to eat the cupcakes on the cover of this BabyCakes book—like right now!

The DL: Erin McKenna presents us with a vegan, gluten-free, baked-goods cookbook that looks really awesome. We are feeling the need to make every single recipe in this book, and then eat until our fingers are licked clean. This book just goes to show that every city needs a vegan bakery—no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

The New Meaning of Cute

Date: Friday, January 23
The Delivery: A Follow Your Heart pizza kit, two books, a bag with a message, some raw cacao nibs, and a stainless-steel bottle

Staff Pick: The "Clean Up The Earth" bag

The DL: There's just no excuse for taking paper or plastic. There are stylish bags coming out from every corner of the market, and every one of them will help decrease that thing we like to call a "carbon footprint." Get yourself a reusable bag and never leave the house without it. It's that simple!

Have Some Cheese with that Cake

Staff Pick: We were blown away by the delivery of this cheesecake from Follow Your Heart

The DL: We thought Christmas was over at the VNHQ. That was until this morning when this oh-so-delicious-looking cheesecake came through our door. Its ingredients include Follow Your Heart's new cream cheese and sour cream products, and looks exactly like the real dairy-laden thing! We definitely can't wait to get our hands on a slice. Thanks, Earth Island!
