Carrots ‘N’ Cake is BACK! Get ready for some BLOGGIN!

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!! I couldn’t let this wonderful recipe get lost in the shuffle! My cousin, Meeghan, made it a couple of weeks ago for a family party, and I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Isn’t this serving bowl fun? It’s supposed to look like an Origami paper boat and it’s available in my shop!

Welcome back! Somehow I doubt I’d ever get as far as making this guacamole… I can’t resist eating edamame straight. They’re a favourite snack, but sadly hard to source here in Canberra!

Not only does that look amazing, your presentation is superb! I work with Seapoint Farms, we are the largest manufacturer and distributor of edamame in the county. Just for blogging about edamame you have been entered in our monthly drawing to win a case of Dry Roasted Edamame! I look forward to reading your future posts. Thanks!
