THE ULTIMATE CARROT CAKE FOR THE SUPERBOWL MENU

Hello Loves!

How was your weekend?

We had somewhat warm, humid, damp days on Saturday and Sunday.

We are even warming up into the 70's and I'll take it!

The darling is back to his golf game and that makes me a happy camper!

Would you believe I am still packing away Christmas decor?

Oh honey....if you are a Trader Joe's shopper, then

don't pass up the Chocolate Croissants....divine for Sunday brunch!

The darling sure does love his puzzles...another beauty

completed in two days!

Since neither one of us were too excited about this year's

Superbowl, we kept our celebration low key.

However, I have been wanting to make Miss Sue's Carrot Cake

for some time and decided this would be the perfect time to try it!

Every Southern girl needs to know how to bake a delicious Carrot Cake

and thanks to Sue.....who is one of the best bakers in the South,

I can be sure to feature this one on Mother's sideboard for family gatherings.

I should explain, that Sue was one of Miss Judy's coworkers and often

treated the office to her Carrot Cake.....highly anticipated and enjoyed by many!

I also made Eleanor's Mac N' Cheese....a family favorite!

For the main feature, I chose to prepare

Nashville Slow Cooker Hot Chicken!

This would be perfect for little slider buns, served

with homemade Ranch Dressing and cold pickles.

Good lord, what a boring football game this was!!!!!

But the food was delicious!

I remember enjoying the cake at halftime, but I've already

forgotten the half-time show......

There were several family text messages going back and forth

throughout the game.....even Luke was so bored,

he opted to finish homework during the third quarter!

It should have been THE SAINTS....that was a real 

disappointment....big time!

I know Mae Mo....ho-hum.......
