I have quite a few things crammed into this post! And they’re all very exciting!
#1. A couple weeks ago, I went to my friend’s school to talk to his classes about veganism, baking, my book, and art. They seemed very interested, and thought I was HILARIOUS after accidentally uttering the words “shit” and “titties” during my speech. Hah.
We ended the day by baking Giant Bakery Style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Teaching kids about baking and getting in the kitchen with them is something I’d be very interested in doing again in the future! It was so much fun, and they had a blast!
#2. If you’re in the Milwaukee area and would like to order cookies from me for an event, I now am advertising catering services. Click the link at the top of the page for more information! Cookies and prices are currently on a case-by-case basis, but I will get more concrete information up as soon as I can! I’d love to bake for your holiday parties coming up next month, or anything at all, so send me an email at vegancookies@wordpress.com!
#3. Oh hey, I have a contest for a signed copy of The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur, starting NOW!
Write me a haiku
All about vegan cookies,
My lovely readers
If your poem wins
I will bestow upon you
Vegan cookie book
[I’m sure you can write a more eloquent haiku about vegan baked goods that sounds less like caveman speak.]
I am doing a giveaway of a signed copy of The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur, right here, right now! To enter, write a vegan haiku about cookies and post it as a comment on this blog entry!
The contest closes this Thursday at 2pm CST! I’ll select finalists and a panel of judges comprised of awesome vegans will vote on the winner.
I will make a post with the winner and the winning haiku on Friday or Saturday! If it’s you, please send your mailing address ASAP to vegancookies@live.com and I will ship your book on Monday.
**US entries, only please.**
**CONTEST IS CLOSED**
no butter for me
just earth balance in cookies
still so greasy though
I feel as if I should title any haiku I attempt as “If I Only Had a Brain,” still here goes. Only for you Kelly.
Vegan cookie love
Uncreative types like me
Stand no chance at all
Like Don Quixote
Yet we continue to tilt
For love of awesome
Sweet treats by Kelly
Who believes our brain cells
Function cookieless
How can we begin
With no Double Chocolate
Molasses Ginger
Glazed Apple Cider
Peanut Butter Butterscotch
Nor Pumpkin Clouds
Our brains left forlorn
By cruel fate no awesome sugar
Rust to sustain
That last line should be “Rush to sustain.” See I can’t even type without vegan cookies!
C is for cookie
If by Kelly, they’re yummy
All of them for ME
*om nom nom nom*
And if I’d HAD a cookie I’d be awake enough to know Haiku only has three lines. I had to look it up in Wikipedia! I should go back to bed. May I try again? Please?

I’m not much of a poet, but here’ a haiku about my favorite kind of cookie:
Oh, Snickerdoodle
Your cinnamon and sugar
Are so delicious

As my fuel, I live, laugh, and
share the vegan love.
