Today was my father-in-law's birthday, so I made him
this lovely carrot cake from
101 Cookbooks, and Clint and I surprised him with it earlier tonight. This is not your typical carrot cake recipe. I would say it's more like a bread with frosting, but I really liked it. (It wasn't so much Clint's taste though.)

| All the different mixtures ready to be combined |

The man of the hour was surprised by the cake, and a good time was had by all. It's nice to live close to some family and to be able to share simple things like a birthday cake together.
As a side note, I must admit that I'm struggling with inspiration on the food front. The daily question of what to eat seems more and more daunting each day! I would love a new cookbook. My favorite cookbook is
Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair, but I've made almost everything I want to make from it. What are your favorite cookbooks? Share some inspiration with me please!
