Miss using
bacon in sandwiches and other recipes? Phoney Baloney's Coconut Bacon makes a
wonderful cholesterol-free, salty snack straight from the bag! These shavings
of dried organic coconut meat seasoned with tamari, natural liquid smoke, maple
syrup, sea salt, pepper, and spices come as close to approximating the real
thing as any fakin' bacon we've tasted yet. Use in BLT's, fold into tofu
scrambles, top pizza, sprinkle on doughnuts... wherever you're craving that
smoky, salty accent. To crisp the bacon a little, warm in the oven on a baking
sheet at 250° for a couple minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Vegan
and gluten free; do not refrigerate or freeze.

Keeley
Tillotson, 19, and Erika Welsh, 20, were University of Oregon sophomores when they
made their first batch of homemade peanut butter. After running out of their
last jar of store bought peanut butter (and dreading a trip to the grocery
store in an Oregon downpour), the two began to experiment, adding chocolate,
cinnamon, coconut and other delicious ingredients to their own homemade peanut
butter. They first sold at farmers markets and in small craft fairs; now,
little more than a year and a successful Kickstarter campaign later, Wild
Squirrel Nut Butter is sold in more than 150 stores. Wheatsville now carries
Wild Squirrel's Nut Butter Packets (single serve portions); look for the jarred
flavors soon to follow!

Beneath the
tough, leathery skin of a pomegranate are hundreds of jewel-like edible seeds
encased in sweet, juicy pulp. Pomegranate seeds (also known as arils) are an
excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin C; the antioxidant content of
pomegranate juice is greater even than that of red wine! Extracting these juicy
red seeds can be a tricky task, fraught with lost juice and fingers stained
purple for days. New from Woodstock Farms, these certified organic, Non-GMO Project
Verified frozen pomegranate kernels eliminate the fuss and are an easy addition
to salads, pilafs, and desserts. We especially love this recipe from theKitchn for a Persian/Turkish-inspired Pomegranate Green Olive Relish with
pistachios and mint!

The creamy
taste of Nutiva's cold-pressed Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil is great for
frying and baking, enhancing your favorite recipes, and is fantastic for body care.
There is simply no comparison between Nutiva's coconut oil, with its light
taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil,
with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color. Never refined,
deodorized, bleached or extracted with hexane, Nutiva's coconut oil is also
Non-GMO Project Verified. Tiny brown specks found at the bottom of the jar are
from the coconut fiber and are indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil.
