Carrots, carrots and more carrots

Turning into a rabbit, I am.

This afternoon, I realised I had about 2 kgs of carrots and may need to use some up soon.

We love carrots in this house, but there's only so many things I can think of doing with them... coleslaw, mash, sliced, diced, steamed, grated, pureéd, soup etc etc etc. I grate them and add to all sorts of meals so the kids get their vegetables, one way or another.

Today I decided to make some curried carrot soup for tomorrow and prep some for another day (myself and my kiddiwinks got some for snacks this afternoon too...).

Parboil, cool, freeze. Done.

But what about dinner tonight?! Uh oh!

Fiddlesticks. Fed up of peeling veg today...

I'm taking a vegetarian chilli out of the freezer! :D

What do you like to make with carrots??

  1. After getting my kiddies to peel 3 bags of carrots last month, we grate ours and add to cupcakes/cakes/even soda bread.
