Wonderful wonderful

A splendidly long weekend was had, and now it's Tuesday.
I love it when Tuesday feels like Monday, but it's not Monday. 

I'll go into the details of my wonderful weekend later today in another post, too many happy details to recall at this moment....
Besides, I really just want to post some pictures of food, and Elmer too.

( I hope you don't mind food and puppy pics int eh same post! )

Carrot Cake!

I have to give HUGE props to The Sage Avocado for this one.
Her recent post (in addition to our comments/conversation) on Carrot Cake made me almost instantly RUN to my kitchen because I wanted to try my hand at making my own version of raw Carrot Cake.

I have never considered myself to be anywhere close to a "baker", and have never been successful in the kitchen when it comes to baking sweets. Even boxed cakes have turned out horrible when in my hands.
But in spite of my fears I took on the idea of a raw Carrot Cake, and pulled out all the stops.

The results? Well, just wow...

Yeah. If you think it looks good, I swear to you it tastes even better! My Mom didn't believe me when I told her it was raw. Eeeeee! I just can't seem to stop being all giddy about this one!!
