Mimi's Cafe, a national restaurant chain, is famous for several menu items but their carrot raisin bread is always a favorite.
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice, well drained
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup finely shredded carrots
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking dish or loaf pan.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Stir the oil mixture into the flour mixture and mix well. Stir in the walnuts, crushed pineapple, raisins, and carrots.
Transfer the batter to the greased dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let cool before slicing and serving. Store the bread in an airtight container.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
