An Easy Carrot Meal

Happy Sunday!

Today we want to showcase two ways to cook with carrots. First we will talk about a carrot soup recipe that we make often in the winter. Then, we can't have dinner without dessert! We have a more healthy version of carrot cake cupcakes that is truly a treat.

Hopefully these recipes will inspire you to cook more with carrots!
