Vincent loves to eat these

Today I decided to make some carrot muffins for my little man to see if he would eat them.. and he did! now granted.. they do have sugar and butter in them.. but there are carrots in them too! :D .. so maybe not so sneaky.. but kinda.. anyways.. here is the recipe
Ingredients for muffin:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup butter (room temp)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour 
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup milk
Ingredients for glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbs butter (melted)
  • about 1-2 Tbsp of milk (you may need more)
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray or grease and flour a muffin tin
  3. In a stand up mixer mix together sugar, butter, eggs, and shredded carrot until well incorporated.
  4. Sift together flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. At a about a cup at a time add the dry ingredients and a little of your milk. Do this back and forth until all your dry ingredients and milk are all mixed in with the previous mix.
  5. This recipe makes 12 muffins, so spoon in the batter into a 12 serving regular sized muffin tin.
  6. If you want take a little extra of your cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar mix on top of your muffins, as well as a few rolled oats.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Once done set on a wire rack to cool.
Instructions for glaze:
  1. in a bowl add your cup of powdered sugar, your melted butter, and your vanilla extract and whisk together until smooth. Pretty straight forward :)
  2. Once your muffins have cooled off a bit take your whisk, or a spoon or whatever.. and flip the glaze around on your muffins! (that was the best way I could think of to describe how I did it.. I made a mess)
ENJOY! I loved them.. AND my son loved them and he got a serving of veggies! YAY!

Cheesy & Spicy Grilled Cajun Chicken

This is the recipe for the super yummy cajun chicken that I had with the roasted mashed potatoes. This chicken is nice and spicy, but is toned down a little with the cheese on top. So.. lets get down to business! Makes about 5 servings if each person has 2 pieces of chicken (yes yes I know in the picture there are 4 pieces on the plate.. I didn't finish it all because I was stuffed like a turkey) Ingredients: 10 thawed out chicken tenderloins 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning 1 tsp sea salt 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Instructions: Take your thawed out chicken and place it in a bowl. Add your olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and salt to the bowl and toss/mix (whateva) until the chicken is nicely coated with the seasonings. Now cook on the grill...
