Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts. AKA filberts, the base of (vegan) Nutella, and a very delicious flavor to add in coffee. I’d known them as filberts for a long while because I grew up cracking the nuts out of their shell, along with almonds and walnuts, and eating them plain. Then I went vegan and really became passionate about …
Apple cider donuts, upcoming events, and activism
Apple cider donuts, quite possibly the most important part of pumpkin and apple picking in the fall. Deep fried, sugary, apple-y goodness in a pastry.

New Cookie: Margarita Biscotti. Bleeding Hearts. Circus Animal Cookies.

With lime and tequila baked into the cookie and mixed into the glaze, this cookie encompasses a margarita all in one bite, including the lime and salt garnish. So, I have a really really hard time getting anything done …
