Family Springtime Celebrations
Easter is April 1. Passover begins March 30. Whether or not you are celebrating either holiday, show us your favorite family recipes for springtime celebrations.
Easter is my second favorite holiday. I’ve written about my love of the holiday in a past post here! I’m still mostly a child so I get extreme pleasure in being able to find hidden things (like egggssss) especially when they are tricky. Would any one be surprised to hear that I love scavenger hunts and the likes? No..probably not. Haha. I really love it though.
As for the food? As with most families we have our traditions. We always eat our found boiled eggs in the morning and have an Easter Ham for dinner. Around this time of year is when carrot cake gets pretty big too. (I mean man so tasty…especially with a good cream cheese frosting?!!?! YUUMMM). However, I’ve really been wanting to try raw vegan desserts and a carrot cake one sounds super delicious. A lot of them seem to have too much sugar in them though, so I’m trying to figure out an alternative.
Carrots are a great source of vitamins. If you don’t like them cooked (I’m not the biggest fan..) try them raw (raw with peanut butter is one of my favorite ways to eat them) or if that still doesn’t do that for you try to hide the vegetable in another tasty treat (like carrot cake..or the recipe I’ve got for you below!)

What a fabulously healthy and unique breakfast idea!
Thank you!!
Sounds like a delicious combo! I love carrot cake and the addition of chocolate.
Chocolate is a great recipe booster I think haha
This is such an interesting and delicious take on carrot cake! People forget how sweet carrots are, especially when they’re finely grated.
Thank you! Yes, they are definitely sweeter than expected.
I have not made a carrot cake in a long time! Thanks for joining for meatless Monday
I’ve been thinking about making a raw vegan one, but need to figure out how to lower the sugar content first! Carrot cake is so tasty.
I love your flavor combos here! White chocolate with carrot cake flavor sounds incredible
Thanks! It pulled together well!
Carrots are the best and I LOVE carrot cake! I never eat it because it’s a sugared-up cake but I can eat yours for breakfast! I have everything but the protein powder, so need to go get some ASAP 🙂
I love carrot cake too! OH man. I’ve def asked for it before for my birthday a few times lol. It can be very sugared up though, especially with a rich cream cheese frosting. I love healthy takes on unhealthy desserts for breakfast. The protein powder just helps to boost the satiety and thickness
That is an interesting fact about carrots! I love your writing style – Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
I thought so too! I can see how that would be true though since carrots are pretty sweet. Thanks! I appreciate that you enjoy my writing style!
Whoa I had no idea about the Medieval period and carrots. How cool! This looks like a great alternative for a carrot cake
Thanks! I thought that was interesting too!
