Mmmmm, with cream cheese frosting? Yummy.
I can have it on WW but it sure uses up a lot of points better spent on foods with less sugar but sometimes it's worth it to splurge a little. Makes you feel like you still belong to the human race.....not that I'm too proud of that fact these days.

The cake sounds heavenly. I bet you could make the cream cheese frosting with artifical sweetner and no would know the difference. That would cut down on the carb count.

Wink I so hear you!

I know what you mean! My husband is about 150 and sooooo skinny! You would think I never feed him! And he LOVES oreo cookies. He just bought some yesterday and I asked him to help me be strong when Monday comes and my diet starts. Although I don't think cookies will bother me as much as chips. I am a big salt person. But I don't crave them unless we have them in the house. So, I guess that means I just don't buy them. And when hubby wants his cookies, I will have him hide them!!!

I would have sent him to Bakers Square, I hear they have a good carrot cake there and they sell it by the slice too.

Carrot cake is one of my specialities, I am asked to bring it in to work for birthdays. My carrot cake includes a mixture of pineapple to add moistness.

My husband is also a slender oreo eater. His favorite are the one's dipped in chocolate. Fortunately, I am not an oreo lover, and he can have them around the house without giving me too much of a problem. Although, in moments of carb despiration, I have munched on an oreo or two.

Tazmani, love the image you attached!

Jenny I do the same, I add pineapple which I love and I grate my carrots using my JuiceMan Juiceing machine, I just add the pulp and some of the juice and it comes out wonderful and it only takes seconds to do.

The cream cheese frosting is to die for, hubby wasn't a big fan of carrot cake until I made this one. Now he's hooked. And I found this recipie on the web somewhere

Sorry I'm talking about things we really shouldn't be eating but I just love to cook and especially bake, its one of my favorite things to do (other than eat it lol).

Love Leens
