FWIW I use avocado whenever veg oil is called for because I don’t like canola oil.

It’s just one of the neutral oils, but I don’t think it matters which in a baking recipe (avocado has a high smoke point, so is good for frying).
I generally use sunflower or grapeseed oil when I need a neutral oil when I need a neutral oil (like mig, I don’t care for canola).

I had a bit left over of each of the fillings, enough for a schmear of ricotta filling over each half of an English muffin and a more generous amount of almond filling on top. I broiled them for a few minutes, and had a delicious and decadent breakfast.

I was making Moroccan flatbreads yesterday for the first time. It called for neutral oil and I decided to use just plain veg oil that I keep on hand for frying. I could swear it smelled fishy even though it had never been used before and was too new to be rancid. The flatbreads are fine enough but it will be a long time before I buy plain vegetable oil again.
fully agree - i can’t stand the stuff.

I love grapeseed oil from Trader Joe’s.
I don’t think they carry that anymore. I have been on the lookout since Aldi has taken a while to restock. It’s not showing up on the Trader Joe’s website.
I just bought a bottle last week, SSF, near El Camino Real.

FWIW, I’ve been able to find La Tourangelle grapeseed oil at both our local Safeway/Albertsons and at QFC/Kroger.
Costco here in Canada carry grapeseed oil. I think it’s 3 litres but i use it for everything.

Wish our Sam’s carried it. We should be getting a Costco in the next year or so 
These were so good I ordered more. These are the “mini” ones, which are just regular-sized cookies. All that was left were these little tins, so that’s what I got.

For NYE celebrations I baked a half-size of Louisa Weiss’s German Apple Cake, as recommended by @CaitlinM. Looks good!

One more day to “holiday bake.” It’s always bittersweet when this time of year is over

how do you like it?
It was good. Very well received. I’m not a big fruit dessert person.
