Eat Dessert First. Life is so Uncertain.

Possibly the most amazing idea ever. Who would have ever thought of intertwining heavenly carrot cake and breakfast pancakes? I suppose that's what we have Joy the Baker and Food Network for. To make up for the lack of culinary creativity in people like moi. Thankfully, I am a foodie blurker, and find these ingenious kitchen wizzes. The fun part is trying out the recipes.

Start your Easter off right, with a carrot themed breakfast/dessert. My wise father has a quote on his office door. Take heed my lovely friends.
