We've recently seen two major tragedies in our nation: the Boston Marathon bombing and then the explosion at the fertilizer plant in West, Texas. Just 20 miles outside of Waco, this small town has been severely impacted and over 300 families have visited a relief center since the explosion. About 200 people were hurt and 14 were killed on April 17th.
When the president of the Austin Food Blogger Alliance reached out to me for the Austin Bakes for West fundraiser that she's helping to coordinate, I was more than happy to help out. I immediately asked my husband for his help with this, and we ran out the door to grab some supplies to help spruce up the packaging. We decided to make three different treats: my favorite Spiced Pumpkin Oat Cookies, Happy Herbivore's Oatmeal Chews, and Happy Herbivore's Black Bean Brownies.
