Making carrot muffins:
I used this recipe with some alterations. After reading the comments, I reduced the oil, baking soda and salt. Also, I used a bit less carrots as I didn’t quite have 3 cups, which brought me to the following:
Soak 1 cup raisins in 2 cups warm water for 15 minutes. Drain. Discard liquid.
Shred 3 cups carrots
Sift Seperately:
2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Beat Seperately:
4 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
Combine flour mixture and egg mixture using muffin method.
Fold in carrots and raisins.
Bake in muffin tins at 350 for 25 minutes.
They still taste a bit oily, and not very carroty (although, as I mentioned I was a little short on the carrots) If I make them again, I definitely want to change the recipe so more

Making Brussels Sprouts for the second time. Last time I mixed them with a little salt and oil and roasted them. This time I’m boiling them.

Working on a Sloppy Joe Recipe
I love having a working oven. I’ve baked every day since I’ve gotten it and I don’t think it’s just the novelty. Today’s entry? Tuna Casserole!
I went with the quick and easy version:
6oz Egg Noodles (cooked)
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
4oz Extra Sharp Cheddar (shredded)
1 can Tuna (drained)
1 Can Peas (rinsed)
Mixed together in a bowl, put into a casserole and baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
Yum

Everytime I go to Wegman’s (an upstate NY grocery) I stop to smell the hydroponic basil. They sell packs of basil, in dirt, ready for planting, but equally ready for making pesto.
