What a yummy way to cook with veggies! We made Carrot Cake to correspond with our Veggie Unit this week.

This is an old family recipe and a favorite of mine. Hard to argue with a Cream Cheese frosting. Bug got to help Gammy with the carrot chopping by using the food processor. Pretty cool! And the girls helped me with the mixing while eating their weight in carrots.
