Baking for The Cause

There is no secret here: I love being in the kitchen.
Cooking, baking… and eating ;-).
But what I love the most is sharing it with others. I often cook for myself and when I get to cook for someone else, it is so much better. Having a blog makes it possible for me to share the recipes I love with others (and it is no secret: I love blogging).

And now I have the chance to bake for one of you.
And to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I think all causes are important. Unfortunately, it is impossible to help all of them. But little gestures add up to something amazing. And baking for a great cause is definitely a gesture I can do :-).

When I heard of Steph’s Bite by Bite Bake Sale, I knew I wanted to participate. The fact that it is for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society only confirmed my choice since my 3 year old nephew died of leukemia.

The Bake Sale will occur on Monday, January 31, 7am – 9pm. You have to bid for the baked good you want and the highest bidder wins (obviously).

There are a lot of yummy treats you can get.
Including my delicious (yes, delicious), Vegan Dark Chocolate and Pear Cookies.

The winner can choose the percentage of cacao in the chocolate: 70, 85, 90 or 99.

I chose these cookies for 2 reasons:

1. Yumminess factor.
2. They stay moist and delicious long enough for me to send them and you to eat them.
