Thanksgiving Recap

Wow it seems like forever since I last posted!

The past few weeks have been total Piper-mania! I love that sweet little puppy!

Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful with her. She was so well behaved, which made it that much more enjoyable for everyone. My wonderful mother even made my favorite Thanksgiving side dish - Carrot Souffle! I also finally got her to give up the recipe so here it is:

1 3/4 lb. carrots scraped clean, steamed or boiled until soft
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. butter, softened (not melted)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. powdered sugar for top prior to serving (optional)

Steam or boil carrots until soft
Transfer to a large bowl while still warm. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat well until smooth. Add flour, mix well. Add beaten eggs, add butter, beat well.

Pour into lightly greased 8x8 baking dish and bake at 350 for 50 minutes-1 hour or until browned on top. Serve warm and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Can be refrigerated for 3 days but after that it loses its flavor.

If made ahead, will not be as fluffy and high when re-heated.

ENJOY!
