Baked Carrot Pudding
"All of my life Dad has refused to eat anything with cornmeal in it. He always claimed to be able to taste the presence of even the slightest amount. Frequently, we would have to check the labels, because we were absolutely certain there was no cornmeal in foods that he proclaimed there was (He always claimed to have had too much cornmeal when he was US Army Airborne). I served this with trepidation at a recent dinner party, knowing he would be present, but made sure I had an alternate to accomodate him. Mom and I watched in amazement, while for the first time in our lives, Dad ate his without complaint...and shock of all shocks...he went back for seconds, then told Mom she should get the recipe."

Cindy Lynn, these carrot puddings were very good, something different with carrots! like thimbals, we enjoyed them and the green beans went well with them. They would be good for a fancy dinner, like Thanksgiving or Christmas. Next time I think I will try them in my mold, in one piece, should made a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing. -
While I liked the taste, no one else in my family did. And we had a really hard time unmolding them. That said, I thought they had a nice sweet taste and I enjoyed them. Too mushy for the rest of my family I think. Thanks for giving me something interesting to try, though!

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself).

<br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it.

<br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
