I am particularly fond of Carrot Cookies. These are not too sweet and make a nice, light,tasty cookie. I didn't think they were sweet enough without the icing.

Thanks for checking out my about me page. Jeff is my husband of 8 years. We have 1 dog that someone dropped off at the side of the road and I brought home, and she rules the house. I love dogs, and hate to see a dog tied up and forgotten. I love to grow different kinds of tomatoes from seed to can, and give the "extras" away (when I'm working and don't have time to can).
