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!

Hey friend, If you're anywhere near Minnesota right now, you already know. We are on heat wave number two of the month, and this weekend's heat index is supposed to hit somewhere around 105-108Β°F. My oven and I are on time-out. So, this week, three things that get dinner and dessert done without heating up the kitchen (or touching a bag of lettuce). Easy No-Bake Banana Cream Pie I'll just say it: this is one of the best pies you'll ever have, full stop, doesn't matter how many pies and cakes...

Hey friend, My garden has officially declared war on me, and the weapon is basil. So. Much. Basil. I'm making pesto by the bucket and freezing it like a squirrel prepping for winter, and I regret nothing. More on that in a second, because I have a recipe obsession to confess. But first: Father's Day is this Sunday, and I am the very last person you should ask for gift ideas. I got Nate more tools for his gold mining kit. Yes, gold mining. No, I have no idea how many other dads are out there...

Homemade Tater Tots Now this one comes with a little secret. I made these over and over last year for a reason I haven't really shared about yet- let's just say it involved a competition cooking show. The whole story is coming soon.
