You Know What I Love ?

You know what I love by living by the Gulf Coast ? Eating seafood, hanging out in the ca - si - no :-) , buffet dining and enjoying the view by the beach. Since we arrived here and actually living here since May 11, we dine out a lot. We are only two so; dining out is cheaper. We eat breakfast at the #JimmyBuffet 's #MargaritaVille and most of the time, we went to #IP , #HardRock , #BeauRivage, and #IslandView for lunch.

Carrot Cake from Beau Rivage "The Buffet"

When we lived here in 2009, I was working in a ca-si-no on a graveyard shift. When I clocked out at 7 AM, hubby and I went straight to other ca-si-no for a breakfast buffet. When I arrived home, I sleep whole day. I woke up for lunch, most of the time dine out again. We seldom use our kitchen.

When I start working again, that will be the regular pattern I guess.

Carrot Cake Bread

Today, I tested my new Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker and I decided to make the carrot cake inspired by the Cuisinart Recipe Booklet.

Hubby enjoyed this Carrot Cake.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup freshly grated carrots
1/3 cup chopped mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashew)
1/3 cup raisins.

1. Using the Cuisinart Automatic Bread Maker, spray the bread pan with cooking spray and make sure the kneading paddle is attached.

2. Place all ingredients in order listed above into the bread pan.

3. Press menu button and select #7, Cake/Quick bread program.

4. Press Start/Stop button to mix and bake.

      Note: While the batter is mixing, scrape the sides of the bread pan with a rubber spatula to incorporate the ingredients.

5. When the cycle is complete, remove from the bread pan and place it in a cake platter to let it cool.

6. Enjoy!
