Carrots

I have a small goal. Goal #8:  Carrots

Every so often we buy a 25 pound bag of carrots. 

The intention is to juice the majority of them.  Sometime we juice all of them, sometimes just a few.  Whatever happens there’s a race to eat them all before they’re done for.  (This time it seems the carrots may have a head start!)  And I put carrots in everything.

It’s on!

Usually I just start chopping carrots and the “what’s for supper?” plan formulates after that. 

Yesterday it became Coconut Carrot soup.  There’s really no recipe or plan, but if I tried to describe it, it would go something like this:

Saute: Many, many carrots (like 3-5lbs?), fresh onion and garlic, salt, and pepper in lotsa coconut oil. 

Once everything is saute soft pour a bunch of coconut milk over it.
 
Boil -in a different little pot: a cup or more of coconut flakes in a
bit of water until softish.  Once it was pretty soft I blended it in the bullet. 


Blend the carrot mixture in the bullet also. 

Since the cups are small, I just blended each serving individually, adding a big scoop of the blended coconut into each serving.


 
Blend it all together, add butter, salt, and pepper.
Top off with honey or agave nectar. Sweet and garlicy = love it!

Anyway –the real goal here is to clean and organize my kitchen so it’s ready for juicing!
