This is the time of year that it is perfectly acceptable to make every single one of your favorite carrot recipes in a single weekend. And I plan on taking full advantage of it.

Here are some of my favorite carrot recipes for you to add to your carrot festivities...

1. Classic Carrot Cake
This is the best homemade carrot cake recipe you will ever find. It comes from my Grandma's recipe box of homemade cake recipes and has been baked so many times I can't count.

2. Carrot Cake Scones
A delicious, fluffy, and moist carrot cake scone recipe with a cream cheese filling that’s easy to make.

3. Carrot Cake Cupcakes
These quick and easy carrot cake cupcakes have a beautiful, moist texture full of sweet pineapple, brown sugar, and fresh carrots. Top with the homemade cream cheese frosting for one of my favorite, most versatile cupcakes!

4. Carrot Dog Treats
Y'all, I can't make yummy treats only for the humans in my family! My pups need the best and yummiest treats, too.

5. Carrot Ginger Soup
Immune boosting, creamy, dairy-free, and totally delicious! This Carrot Ginger Soup has healthy, simple ingredients AND tons of flavor. You'll love that it comes together in under 30 minutes with simple, budget-friendly ingredients.

6. Whiskey Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
Baby carrots in a sweet brown sugar and whiskey glaze are the BEST side dish. Super easy to make (grab my favorite cast iron pan!) and the bourbon adds a subtle lift to the traditional glazed carrots recipe.

7. Carrot Raisin Cake
A carrot and raisin spice cake that is moist, flavorful, and easy to make. This recipe for a one-pan carrot-raisin cake makes a moist cake layered with raisins and shredded carrots.

8. Fondant Carrots
I'm telling you, follow these instructions and you'll be surprised at how easy it is to make these fondant carrots!

Let me know what carrot recipes you have on deck for carrot season...and pinky promise me you'll try a new one this year!!
