Done With Carrots!

There! They (2 pounds of the full size beauties) are all gone from the refrigerator. Carrots are so good for you - well, maybe better nutritionally if you don't bake cakes and breads with them.

Do you ever buy the "baby" carrots from the produce aisle and think they are BABY carrots? Most likely they are "baby-cuts," large sweet carrots that are machine cut into 2-inch sections and then abraded down to size, their ends rounded by the same process. Labels that say "baby carrots" appear on some packages of very young carrots that are harvested while the vegetables are still very small. These are the real BABY carrots! The mix up is because many baby-cut-carrots are being marketed as "baby carrots," so don't be fooled!   I don't ever buy them anyway - just saying -

 Stepping down from soapbox….

Today I baked carrot bread. I like it better without the nuts, but the man who lives here with me loves nuts. (That statement speaks for itself!)

 Ready to bake
