๐Ÿฅ• The Case for Turning Carrot Cake Into Bars

Published about 12 hours agoย โ€ขย 1 min read

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

Today I'm sharing a brand new carrot cake bar that doesnโ€™t pull any punches ~ these babies are loaded.

๐Ÿฅ• Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frostingโ€‹

These loaded carrot cake bars got a universal thumbs up from all my taste testers, ages 3-70. Theโ€™re so much lighter than a layer cake, but are definitely rich enough to satisfy any dessert craving. The contrast between the moist chunky carrot base with the fluffy cream cheese frosting is really great.

And since you might have some leftover pineapple or coconut...

pickled red onions

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Happy Sunday! Do you consider it the end of the week, or the start? Iโ€™m definitely on team end of week. But that doesnโ€™t mean my Sundays are slow. Iโ€™m head chef for our weekly family dinner and while sometimes we go the paper plates and pizza route, itโ€™s also a chance for me to try out fun ideas on the group. Last week I did a baked potato bar. I use a big 24" lazy susan (you can see it in my winter cheeseboard post.) I put it in the center of our round dining room table and...

Baileys Irish Cream Mousse

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ ๐Ÿ€ This happened when I whipped Baileys Irish Cream! Baileys Irish Cream Mousse I call this one of my 'emergency desserts', it's a no-bake wonder that you can whip up in a matter of minutes. The texture is light and creamy, and the flavor is layered with chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and a lingering hint of Baileys. It's not overly sweet and none of the flavors hits you over the head. I think you'll love it. I'm in full Irish mode right now, how about you? How to Make Soda Bread ~...
