Coconut Sugar, Baking Mix, and Skin Care

The Delivery: Wholesome Sweeteners organic coconut-palm sugar, vanilla frosting and baking mixes from Babycakes, and skincare samples from Derma E
Staff Pick: The sugar

The DL: Considering we at VNHQ love our daily coffee and tea, our pantry is curiously devoid of sweeteners. Good thing this shipment of organic coconut-palm sugar just arrived. In addition to dumping heaping spoonfuls into our beverages, we're looking forward to using the sweet stuff in recipes such as Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp and Vegan Tagalongs.

The Delivery: Vegetarian Entrees That Won't Leave You Hungry by Lukas Volger and DMAE Creme from derma e

We're also stoked about this Thursday's Twitter Chat with Farm Sanctuary Co-founder Gene Baur. Join us at 6pm PT by following #VegNewsChat.

The DL: Ever since we started working on our May+June issue, we've been craving a big bowl of noodle-y ramen goodness. (Want to know why? Keep reading.) With Annie Chun's powder- and preservative-free package, we can't wait to healthily relive our college-dorm days by zapping a bowl of these noodles in our microwave.
