Popcorn, Baking Mixes, Cookies, and Cups


The Date: Wednesday, February 2
The Delivery: Assorted raw cookies from Piccolinos, assorted gluten-free baking mixes from Truly Organic Baking, dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Justin's, and Chocolate Pirate's Booty from Pirate Brands
Staff Pick: The dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Duh.

The DL: This week is a seriously fantastic week to be vegan. Okay, so every week is a seriously fantastic week to be a vegan, but this one is exceptional.

Vegan and Green Cookbooks


The Date: Tuesday, February 1

We are looking forward to Lindsay Nixon's new cookbook chock full of fat-free and low-fat vegan versions of our favorite highly caloric (and highly delicious) eats. We can just picture ourselves whipping up a batch of her guacamole before settling down on the couch. Speaking of couches, today office manager extraordinaire Lyndsay teaches you how to be a cheap (and healthy!) couch potato on VN's newly re-vamped Savvy Vegan blog. Check it out. After you make the guacamole, of course.

Vegan Caesar Dressing and Beauty Products


The Date: Monday, January 31
The Delivery: Non-Dairy Caesar Organic Dressing from OrganicVille and assorted skincare and haircare products from Sparkle! Naturals
Staff Pick: The dressing!

Sounds like Oprah (and almost 400 of her employees) are digging the green stuff toocheck out how they all went vegan for a week on her show tomorrow! As such, we are always excited for the arrival of another way to spice up our salad bowls. Hello! How often do you find vegan Caesar dressing? Here's to our next lunch break, where we will be drizzling this gluten-free gem all over our spinach and sprouts.
