Here's a portrait of the artist and Vegan Dish mastermind, Jeanette Zeis. Awesome photography by Matt Miller.

Oooh, this week's Dulce Vegan offerings are so great. Not only do we have another batch of those yummy frosted Cinnamon Rolls, we also have Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and Cupcakes! Two different cupcake styles are available- the amazing Chocolate Dipper, which is a moist, chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting dipped in chocolate ganache. Crazy! Also, the Raspberry Swirlers, which are vanilla/chocolate swirled cupcakes topped with a fresh raspberry frosting and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. Come by the store and pick up a sweet treat before they disappear!

In the new product department, we finally have back in stock the Fantastic Foods Tofu Scrambler. Do you remember this stuff? Fantastic Foods had discontinued this popular product, but now it's back and ready to help you make breakfast a little easier.
Also in stock, we have some festive chocolates in preparation for Valentine's Day. Sjaak's Chocolate Heart Filled with Vegan Chocolates is back, along with little Dark Chocolate Heart Shaped Bites. Organic, Fair-Trade Vegan Chocolate always makes a perfect gift! We will also have the Rose City Chocolate assortments in stock by mid next week. See our full Valentine selection here.

I hope you guys enjoy this week's Dulce Vegan offerings as much as we do. They just delivered a batch of fresh, gooey, frosted cinnamon buns. They're jumbo sized ones, too! Lordy!
Also in stock are those big ol' peanut butter bars we all know and love. The store smells like warm peanut butter now. Come by and get some while supplies last.

As promised, we have some new shoe styles to offer up for the new year. First up is the Dennis Shoe from Novacas. Dennis is a men's dress shoe that is made of brown faux suede, and can go from dressy to office-casual. This is one nice looking shoe!
Also from Novacas, we have the Lucy. Lucy is an adorable, strappy women's dress shoe with a small wedge heel.
We are really excited about a new shoe company called Autonomie Project. Autonomie Project is a company that creates fair trade and eco-friendly footwear. They work exclusively with small, independent worker-owned cooperatives and Fair Trade certified facilities located in rural and developing areas of the world. The soles are produced and stamped with FSC-certified all natural and sustainable latex,and a Fair Trade premium is paid to both the rubber producers in Sri Lanka and to the shoe stitchers in Pakistan. That's what we love to hear from a shoe company!
Cosmo's now offers two styles of the Ethletic Sneaker by Autonomie Project. A White Low-Top and a Black High-Top.
And speaking of shoes, don't forget we still have a shoe sale going on! All Vegetarian Shoes brand styles are 10% off for a limited time. We're even throwing in free shipping on all Vegetarian Shoes during the sale.

We just received our weekend batch of fresh baked goods from Dulce Vegan, and they are all wrapped up and ready for you to take home.
This week's variety includes Sweet Potato Crumb Muffins, Lemon Glazed Scones, Jumbo Brownies with Walnuts, and Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.
Get them while they last!

First of all, we must tell you how beautiful the new cookbook by Joanna Vaught is. Yellow Rose Recipes is Joanna's first cookbook, and it is filled with great, easy to follow vegan recipes inspired by her home state of Texas. Yellow Rose Recipes is full color, with some adorable illustrations and photographs for almost every recipe! Yellow Rose Recipes is the first cookbook published by the fine folks at Herbivore Magazine.
In addition to Yellow Rose Recipes, we also brought in several classic vegan cookbook titles: Nonna's Italian Kitchen, Authentic Chinese Cuisine For The Contemporary Kitchen, Dairy-Free and Delicious, and Vegan Deli. Each of these cookbooks came recommended by vegans who love to cook good food, so do check them out if you're interested in some new books for your kitchen collection.
Also just in- a bright new t-shirt design from Herbivore Clothing! The "Vegetarianism is Environmentalism" design is printed on a black, organic cotton unisex tee. Get it to match your tote!
In case you're having a hard time keeping that immune system strong during this season, we now offer vegan Vitamin C and Zinc Lozenges, both from VegLife.

Now you have officially been updated!

Fresh from the Vegan Honey Bakeshop, a new batch of Twinkies and Chocodiles!
These were the hit of the holiday season, so if you haven't tried them yet, do so and see what the fuss is all about.

It's in your stomach's best interest to come by the store this weekend, as we now have some fresh baked goods from local vegan bakery Dulce Vegan. We plan on getting a fresh batch of assorted goodies from Idalys and her crew every weekend, too!

Available today until they are gone: Jumbo Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars, Double Chocolate Chip Muffins, Lemon Glazed Scones, and Lavender Chocolate Chip Scones. Be sure to call ahead for availability, because they're goin' fast!

We hope all of you had a great holiday! We are back to work full swing here at Cosmo's HQ. We have some cool things that will be happening throughout the year, so be sure to subscribe to the blog for updates.

We have some new perishable products that are currently available in-store only. Our apologies to our online shopper friends, but these products are just too perishable to ship without sky-high shipping costs!

New to the retail store's Non-Dairy Case, we just got in the new soy yogurts by So Delicious, the makers of the Purely Decadent soy ice creams. These are the best soy yogurts we have tried to date. So Delicious yogurts are creamy and custard-like in texture, and come in five flavors: Blueberry, Raspberry, Peach, Vanilla and Cinnamon Bun. We thought the Cinnamon Bun flavor sounded weird until we tried it. Do you like licking vegan cream cheese frosting off of cinnamon buns? Well, then you will probably love this yogurt flavor. Awesome. Plus, they also have 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and 30% of your daily calcium per serving.



Also new in-store is the Wildwood Soymilk Creamer. It's organic, creamy, low sugar, and not made by "you know who". Get some for your coffee!

In the fake cheese department, we have a few new offerings as well. Soy Bleu and Soy Feta styles from Sunergia. They crumble well for salads and pizza toppers!


In the freezer section, we recently added Ian's Soy Cheese French Bread Pizza. These are not only vegan, but also gluten free!




In the online store, I want to once again talk up the new Vitasoy flavors available: Strawberry Banana and Chocolate Banana. I'm actually finishing off a carton of Strawberry Banana as I type this. It's good stuff!
