Tired eyes....

So as we keep working longer hours at work it's getting harder for me to update the blog, but no worries it doesn't completely stop me from baking :)


Anyways, I've had to use my glasses more often lately... staring at the computer all day long can do it to you.
The SOLUTION:

CARROTS!!!

The carrot gets its characteristic and bright orange colour from β-carotene, which is metabolised into vitamin A in humans when bile salts are present in the intestines.^[3]Carrots are also rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, and minerals.

Lack of Vitamin A can cause poor vision, including night vision, and vision can be restored by adding Vitamin A back into the diet.

-Wiki

Since the whole teams here for the long haul...why not replenish some Vitamin A nutrients with some ....Carrot Cupcakes!!!

Instead of shredding the carrots I pulsed them through my little mini blender...it's the same as grating them, but i feel like there's more flavor when they're grated...plus there's no stringy carrots to freak people out. HA!
The recipe comes from Martha Stewarts Favorite Cupcakes collection.

I left out nuts and raisins just to be careful (people's nut allergies and what not...)Next time I'll have to put them in because it does take away from the flavor. : (

They did turn out very moist though...
mmMMmm...my eyes feel better already hahaha


Finished product: CarrotCupcakes with CreamCheese Frosting and Cocunut Garnish


Moist with Rich carrot flavor



Next time I won't skip out on nuts and raisin....

...and we're off for another long friday at work...Go Team!


Until next time....
