so i just woke up.
my eyes feel swollen, my eyes don't stop watering, and my hair is in knots from head to toe.
i thought my allergies were getting bad in boise with the dogs,
but it's looks like i'm just getting sick- again.
boo hoo.
anyways,
i honestly don't feel like moving so i thought i'd post up a new recipe!
i made these last week and they are so delicious!
CARROT GINGER CUPCAKES
with
ORANGE GINGER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING.
so i remember making these a long long time ago for my family.
i was probably 12 years old and i distinctly remember how labor intensive these cupcakes were.... but i didn't remember why?
as i was grating my 3rd carrot by hand everything quickly rushed back
to me and i remembered why they were such a pain to make.
- but i'm known for being a 'grating hater' -
so maybe by me telling you this you aren't going to want to make these now,
which is understandable.
but if you have an electric grater or grate carrots on a daily basis for fun,
this recipe isn't so bad.
plus, it tastes so SO good and it's one of my favorites so you've gotta try it!
thought the washed out carrot look was fun.
it allows you to see the texture more!

Hello! Thanks for stopping my my blog and leaving a comment a few days ago. It made my bloggy day. : )
These cupcakes look ah-MAZE-ing! (But then, I'm a sucker for carrot cake or anything ginger.) I'm definitely bookmarking it to try.
I've been enjoying browsing your blog--reading your words, admiring your photos... I like them all.

I like the idea of somebody grating carrots for fun! LOL!!!!!
