Carrot and egg recipes needed (not necessarily in the same recipe)

[Kerrypluskids]

Are you ready to laugh? Well, at Food Max I bought the 5 dozen eggs and the 5 lb bag of carrots, because it was cheaper than one dozen or 1 lb bag. Well, I figured I could freezer cook it all. After making 8 quiche's, hard boiling a bunch, 4 loaves of apple bread, and 35 sweet potato muffins I still have 2.5 dozen eggs. Any other ideas that will use a bunch?

Also, I made stew, a meat mix that required a bunch of carrots I still have over half of the bag. I cannot blanch them as my daughter hates cooked carrots. She eats them cut up, but even after eating them almost every day she is sick of them right now and I don't blame her. I don't need her turning orange!

I would prefer to make main dishes, breads, breakfasts, etc. I really don't want any cake and cookie recipies as we don't need a lot of sweets.

HELP!!!
Thanks,
Kerry

I can't think of anything off the top of my head besides maybe fried rice and a lot of red sauces call for carrots. But good luck!

hmm, I don't know, we usually go through the 5 doz thing of eggs pretty well here :bag we like eggs... LOL

I would just suggest more eggs for breakfast (my kids LOVE eggs fried, scrambled, omlet-ed.. lol)... you could grate and put carrots in pretty much any bread you make, can't you? ... Maybe just make mroe stew and freeze it for later use?

Sorry, I'm not much help.. very little food has a chance to go to waste in these parts :giggle

Have you ever looked into the Deceptively Delicious cookbook? Or something similar?

Basically for the carrots you could puree them and then add them into other foods. I've heard adding it into mac n cheese is really yummy. You could put it in pasta sauces. And tons of other stuff. A lot of the time people can't even taste the difference, and when they can, it's usually a yummy change. You can add it into whatever you make that has liquid to it, really.

As for the eggs, I have no idea. We eat eggs a lot around here, so we go through 2 dozen just the 2 of us in a week or less usually. Scrambled, fried, in fried rice, egg in the nests, deviled eggs...

I second cooking and pureeing the carrots. I add it to my tomato sauces to sweeten it up a little. It also is very good in mac and cheese (I use the deceptively delicious book).

As for eggs, idk, I would have done the quiche thing that you have already done. You could also scramble them and assemble breakfast burritos which I do for dh sometimes. Some eggs, bacon / sausage, cheese in a tortilla. Wrap it in wax paper then stick in freezer bags. Nuke them for like 45-60 seconds and it's a great bfast.

Good luck!

DEVILED eggs!!!!!!!!

How do you make sweet potato muffins? I want that recipe.

My mom makes carrot & tomato soup. It's so yummy.

I make breakfast egg casserole. You basically cook the vegies in a skillet - onion, pepper, etc. Cook some turkey sausage separately (don't have to include). Put left over sourdough bread on the bottom of a casserole dish. Cut into thin crustless pieces first. Top with veggies and sausage then pour over your beaten eggs with milk and cheese. Let it sit over night then bake. I found the original recipe on foodnetwork.com

You could use the eggs for french toast

how about carrot salad... a friend made a carrot summer salad with chinese veggies and chowmen with a chinese vinagrete.
Also replace the zuccini with carrots and Ive made my husband (who was on the atkins diet) zuccini spagetti and cooked it with a dot of butter and italian seasoning, and garlic in the micro... it was yummy :)

You can make carrot juice.

I have the cookbook, so if you/anyone wants a recipe containing a certain item, I can e-mail it to you.

We use a ton of carrots for smoothies. I will put equal parts carrots to strawberries. Throw in 2-3 bananas, add honey and ice. Yogurt optional. Blend, drink. Yum

This looked pretty good for carrots if you have a juicer.
