Because I promised- Mmm Mmm Good

I mentioned in a previous entry that I’d bought some shredded carrots earlier in the week with the idea that I’d make some carrot cake muffins. Of course, that was before we knew we were going away for the weekend and I’ve been more than a little busy today. I had grand ideas of creating my own recipe, but since I really didn’t have time for that, I actually adapted a recipe that I found, and they turned out great.

Below is the finished product, and once I have a little more time, I’ll share the recipe on SimplyWizardress.

The recipe made 12, but as you can see one is missing. I had to sample the finished product, and I’m impressed. This recipe is a definate keeper.

If Only

I’ve been trying to come up with something to get diddy for Father’s Day and for the life of me, I can’t decide what to get. He doesn’t really need anything, but I love him- he’s my diddy and I WANT to get him something. I think I’m going to browse through the circuit city website and see if I can come up with some ideas there. At least I’m getting an early enough start that I still have time to place an order.

What I would love most of all is to be there with him and cook dinner for him and mom. If only.

As If I Didn’t Have Enough to Do

As if I didn’t have enough to do to get ready for our trip away, I’d forgotten that a few days ago I bought some shredded carrots in hopes of making a carrot muffin recipe. The idea was to create my own recipe, but now that I’m running a little short of time, I’ve decided to modify someone elses recipe. The recipe actually sounds devine with grated carrots, apple and coconut, but I’m going to cut the oil and add apple sauce, plus use olive oil as opposed to corn oil. I’m also going to use whole wheat flour as opposed to white. I’ll keep y’all posted on how they turn out, but I thought they’d be great to take with us this weekend. If they don’t look too scary- I’ll add a picture, and even share the recipe in another post.

It’s All About the Comfort

I’ve been trying to gather a few things to take with us this weekend on our little get away and I pulled out my favorite comfy lounge pants and a shirt that is about four sizes too big for me, but also one of my most comfortable and favorites. I had everything stacked neatly on the bed, and Marcel commented that my choice of sleeping attire left something to be desired and commented that maybe I should be thinking about wearing corsets instead. I just gave him ‘the look’ and he said that he thought he might have to do a little shopping of his own. I didn’t comment and walked off to tend to dinner. And in case you’re wondering- I am taking my lounge pants and favorite shirt, and WILL be wearing them.
