Pumpkin, Caramels, and Vegan Pregnancy

 

The Date: Friday, September 30, 2011

The Delivery: Three pumpkin pies from Wholly Wholesome, Vegan Pregnancy Survival Guide by Sayward Rebhal, and Allison’s Gourmet new Salted Confections Gift Set with salted caramels and peanut brittle

Staff Pick: Wholly Wholesome's Dairy-Free Pumpkin Pies

The DL: Tis the season to start adding the best thing ever—pumpkin—to everything we eat, starting with these pies. For all the downsides associated with losing the sunshine and bounty of fresh produce available in the summer come fall, pumpkin truly is a worthy exchange. That, and the snuggly fall sweaters, like those found in Editorial Assistant Hilary Pollack’s recent piece on compassionate fashion. If you’re one of those crazy people who doesn’t enjoy a sipping a hot pumpkin soy latte with a crisp breeze blowing the fallen leaves into a whirlwind of color, consider a vacation instead—VegNews is heading to balmy Mexico in the nick of time, this November. There are only a few spots left, so get your ticket before it’s too late. Happy Friday!

 

Something to be Thankful For

Date: Tuesday, November 25

The Delivery: A boxful of sweet confections

Staff Pick: VegNews "Veganize It!" columnist extraordinaire Allison Rivers Samson has once again pulled it off with her brand-new treats from Allison's Gourmet

The DL: The VegNews staff literally ripped open this box of sweets when it came through our door! We were oh-so-pleased to see that it was stuffed to full capacity with holiday goodies including toffee, caramels, and peanut brittle. Suffice it to say that any collective office willpower has gone out the same door that these sweets came in.
