I opened the fridge at 2 am last night as I tried to figure what to do with my insomnia. I didnt feel like going out, so I decided to make it a cooking, working and movies with snacks night. After I didnt find a good movie and I got tired of writing I went for the fridge. I wasnt really hungry but I felt like whipping something up, and suddenly there they were, a ton of gorgeous looking carrots I bought this week and they were calling out to me... So I gave in... and searched for my Carrot Cake Recipe that I will share with you now....
