There was a time when home baked goodies were a part of my
life. Then one day, children who need healthy snacks grow up and you stop doing those
things. You hold on to the memories of who you used to be and every once in a
while you get the chance to Play! again.
A sample of this goodie crossed my desk and I knew that I
had to try it out. A plan was made and fresh
carrots bought. Other ingredients gathered, I don’t know about you, but cream
cheese doesn’t make it home from the grocery store with me too often. Mostly because it is too tempting and
needs a bagel or two.

Hand grating the carrots slows you down, you have to be in
the moment to finish band-aid free. Such fun, measuring the right amount of
nuts (loaded with omega-3 fatty acids) and raisins (because how can you not love them), and trying hard to resist the deliciousness that is swirling
in the bowl.
I don’t bake often anymore. We have unfortunately learned to be dictated by Time, and pick up our treats on the way home instead of mixing them on our kitchen counter, instead of sprinkling with flour, and throwing in a dash of something. We've stopped Playing.
Time is my usual excuse, but I
question if there is any greater satisfaction than a successful batch of twelve
or more. This is what I learned in May.
Find the Time, pull out your apron, gather these
ingredients, turn off your rush and enjoy.
