Heart Smart "Smart Cutlets"

Lightlife Foods has introduced two new cutlets that should remind you of those tender years in the elementarty school lunch line: Salisbury Steak and Chick'n Style. The Salisbury Steak even comes with its own Mushroom Gravy! Both products are vegan and very tasty. They can be purchased in most natural foods stores or in the vegetarian cases of your local supermarket.

For more information about this or other Lightlife products, write to Lightlife Foods, Inc., 153 Industrial Boulevard, Turners Falls, MA 01376, call (877) SOY-EASY, or check their website at <www.lightlife.com>.

Amy's Adds Teriyaki Stir-Fry

Always organic and always convenient, Amy's Kitchen foods have become ubiquitous in the vegetarian sections of supermarkets and natural foods stores. Amy's Kitchen has introduced a Teriyaki Stir-Fry with all organic ingredients in a non-dairy, gluten-free stir-fry.

You can purchase this new stir-fry wherever you regularly purchase Amy's products. You can also contact Amy's Kitchen Inc. at PO Box 449, Petaluma, CA 94953.

Wear Your Veggie Pride Around Your Neck

Looking for a way to show your commitment to vegetarianism and/or animal rights in a more fashionable and attractive way than T-shirts and buttons? Nutritionist Janet Green wanted a nonconfrontational, attractive way to display her beliefs, so she designed some lovely medallions available in silver-tone nickel plate. Visit her website at <www.vegetarianimage.com> to view the designs or to order this lovely jewelry.

Essentially Vegan

For a whole host of vegan and earth-conscious products, look to Veg Essentials' catalog of foods, candles, personal care products, and household items. Founders and owners Courtney and Sue Ernster stand behind all the products in their catalog, having personally tried and used everything they endorse. They research the ingredients thoroughly to certify that the products adhere to strict vegan standards. You can now be assured of this research by the "Certified Vegan" label, and if you still have questions, call them; they will be willing to discuss detailed information with you.

Inside the illustrated pages, you can find hemp pot holders, vegan cosmetics, detergent-free dishwashing liquid, dairy-free cookies, Ener-G Egg Replacer (often mentioned in our recipes), vegetable ivory necklaces, and much more.
