What we're munching

I love baking my own cookies, but sometimes there is no time. Very close to homemade are cookies from the FEED Bakery program which can be ordered through the program or purchased at Metcalfe’s or the W***y Street Co-op. They’re big, robust cookies and the flavor I fell in love with is the coconut key lime — shortbread style, with plenty of lime flavor! The FEED Bakery program helps people learn the skills to enter a career in the field, so it’s a virtuous purchase, too.
