Summertime Menu Ideas

As we move out of winter into warmer weather, for many of us our tastes change. Those rich, warm dishes that we crave in the colder months get moved aside in favor of fresher, lighter fare. But, just because you’re craving salads and sandwiches doesn’t mean that some classic comfort foods can’t make an appearance on your table. For some great summer sandwich ideas check out Allison’s Grilled Tempeh Reubens, Tuna(less) Salad, and of course, vegan BLTs with Smoky Fried Tofu Bacon as featured in the current issue of VegNews Magazine and coming up on our Monday Yumday post next week!
Other summertime favorites include All-American Potato Salad, vegan barbecue, and of course Allison’s famous Mac ‘n’ Cheese, which is an all-time favorite any time of year.
As for warm-weather desserts, you know we always have you covered in that department. Some of our not-to-be-missed summertime flavors include zesty Coconut Key Lime Cookies, refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, and soft Peanut Butter Cookies (coming in July), as well as Sour Cherry and Apple Pie fudge flavors!

Monthly Clubs Coming Soon!

What an exciting couple of weeks it’s been! Now that I have a minute to catch my breath, let me tell you what’s been going on around here. The last two weeks in March were awesome. We had a blast filling all your Easter baskets and we hope that everyone had a very happy holiday weekend.
Yesterday we shipped organic brownies, cookies and fudge to all of our lucky monthly club members. I had a chance to taste this month’s Amaretto Almond Brownies, and let me tell you, they are amazingly delicious. Looking forward to summer, monthly clubs are a great way to keep a stash of healthy treats on hand for hungry kids (and adults) home from school or on vacation. Our organic brownies, fudge, and cookies also make delicious vegan additions to picnics and barbecues.
