American Carrot Cake



Initally, I do not appreciate this cake, but as I slowly enjoy the taste of walnut, raisins & carrot and also the smell of cinnamon & nutmeg. I slowly fall in love with it. It tastes good without the cheese topping.

Maybe, I shall make another cake with the cheese topping the next time.

Yoghurt cups







I usually collect my favourite used yoghurt cups with covers or I put aside for the recycled company to collect them. Do not throw them away.

I will use them to fill up jelly into 4 portions. There is a instruction on the box of jelly, it is easy to do.
