We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

I've never been a die hard fan of carrot cake, mostly because the majority of bakeries make dry bricks slathered in the most saccharine sweet, nastiest tasting cream cheese frosting ever. The cake that changed my mind about them was made by one of our neighbors, Jenny. She was a wonderful home baker, our family would often ask her to make cakes for get togethers and celebrations. Fun fact: she's the one who taught me how to crochet and during those lessons she'd always give us a piece of something she was baking! Her carrot cake was always just right; sweet, crunchy perfection. This is my version of her great carrot cake; it's moist with a crunch from walnuts, slightly sweet from the carrots and raisins, and lightly topped with a simple vanilla cream cheese frosting. Here's my recipe::
