7. Paleo Carrot Cake
Let me tell you, last week were able to go to Lake Powell with my Aunt and Uncle. We were celebrating their anniversary. Usually Charlotte does these delicious Paleo desserts for our trips. But this time I was able to surprise them, it was their anniversary after all!
Here’s a little glimpse of the beautiful Lake Powell, it’s one of my favorite places!
The Paleo thing is really Glen and Charlotte’s thing. They have been eating that way for over a year. So we just go along with it when we get together. But let me tell you, I haven’t had anything I didn’t like yet! Charlotte does a great job in keeping yummy things to eat and snack on around and we don’t go hungry or miss out!
We are trying to eat healthier at our house too, but I love my pasta so I have trouble with the all Paleo. But Carrot Cake is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. So to celebrate their anniversary I made this cake. It was our dessert and ending of a perfect day each night while at Lake Powell.
