Curried Carrot Soup

As a wedding present, someone (not quite sure who, the beauty of having a 650 people guest list) gifted hubby and I with a beautiful le creuset pot 🙂 Was looking for an epic main course to make in it, but decided to leave the super-epicness for another time, and decided to make an epic starter instead, curried carrot soup. Still pretty epic, even more so on a cloudy day 🙂

Moist Carrot Cake

My friend Aliyah has recently discovered Carrot Cake and has fallen in love with it. I identify with her on so many levels, one of which is the fact that I didn’t always like carrot cake growing up, I always thought it was our parents trying to trick us into eating more vegetables, and that they might as well have tried a broccoli or cauliflower cake. But eventually I did try it, and obviously, loved it. So with Aliyah’s birthday coming up, I decided to bake it for her.
