Carrots/12 recipes

I've tried quite a few recipes that were ok but not like I wanted it, so i came up with this one. I made this into cupcakes for my son's 13th birthday and gave it to his football team. Most of them came back for seconds, one kid came back 4 times. My son said carrot cake is now his favorite cake. This cake can be made into a 3 layer cake, 36 cupcakes or bread loaves with or without frosting.

A creamy and hearty vegetable soup of leeks, carrots, broccoli and tomatoes that's thickened and seasoned with sesame paste (tahini).

This thick and rich carrot soup originates from the Cafe Royal in Dallas, Texas. Perfect for the royal baby in all of us!

This is really good and so easy. I liked the addition of the jicama. Never used it in stir-fry before, but will from now on!

Chinese fried rice is probably the most popular take-out food, it's quick-easy to make, and packed with flavors. Because of the simplicity, making it at home becomes so easy, and you can be creative too. No matter what it always comes out with great flavors and textures.

The flavor was combination was excellent. Next time will add some whole dried chili peppers to give it a bit more kick. We served it over brown rice and could hardly stop eating it.

Chickpea, Corn and Kidney Bean Chili recipe

Quick and easy to make, and it was delicious. A great side dish or a vegetarian main.

These were delicious! I don't like mushrooms so nixed those and used a broccoli/cauliflower mixture. Loved it; the added wine and garlic with all the veggies....yum. I believe I used 11 lasagna noodles; putting 1/3 cup of the mixture in each noodle was perfect.

Rich in fibre and protein, also much less fat, and the ingredients together create this delicious vegetarian dish which is welcomed by non-vegetarian too!

Thanksgiving comes to mind! Healthy and interesting recipe. From my MIL's recipes but I think she got this from her SIL! This could be a salad or a side dish and could be made a day ahead and brought to room temperature before serving.

A refreshing, tasty and light salad is made with crunchy lotus roots, carrot, celery and wood ears, tossed with a flavorful soy-ginger dressing. Make it a day ahead, keep in the refrigerator overnight.
