Carrot Coconut Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze

Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites.  So why not make it into bread, right?  When I came across the recipe for this bread, there were two things that caught my eye, in addition to the carrots, of course.  I thought that the addition of coconut was a nice touch.  It adds a little extra crunchiness without using nuts.  I’m not a big fan of nuts in my breads, cakes, muffins, etc.  Whenever a recipe calls for them, I generally leave them out.  The second thing that caught my attention was the simple cream cheese glaze topping.  These three things together make the perfect combination.  The end result was a tasteful and moist bread that made a beautiful presentation.  This recipe is great to enjoy anytime at home, or wrap it up with a pretty bow and give it away as a small gift!

My 100th Post! Moroccan Burgers

I’m not posting these burgers at the right time.  They should have been posted at the beginning of summer… not the end.  That’s when my aunt sent me this recipe.  It was before Memorial Day – right at the start of grilling season. And here I am, posting it after Labor Day!  Shame on me.  I’ve been keeping one of the best grilling recipes from you all this entire summer.  It just took me until now to get a picture in order to share it with you.  Hurry up and make this before summer ends!  It’s my uncle’s favorite burger recipe and now it’s mine too!  They have just the right amount of spice with a bit of a kick to them.  These would also be great to make into mini-sliders for a party!

Creamy Key Lime Coconut Bars

These key lime bars are addicting.  My friend Jen made these for a girl’s weekend a few weeks back.  I’ve never been a big key lime fan, but these were amazing!  I immediately asked her for the recipe.  She said she’s never made them without someone asking for it.  The very same week I made these for a back to school get together.  They were an instant hit again!  And, of course, someone asked for the recipe!
