Monthly Ingredient - May - Carrots

I am excited and apprehensive about this  months ingredient. I love carrots dipped in a homemade butternilk dressing, I LOVE carrot cake and no mirepoix is comeplete without carrots, but that's about it.

My grandmother never made "Copper Pennies" and carrot raisin salad makes my stomach turn. That being said, I wanted to do one tranditional recipe and two out of the box. Now, these may not be out of the box for you, but let me assure you that carrot soup has NEVER crossed my lips.

Without further ado, the recipes I will be trying this month are: a homemade carrot cake (from scratch...no box mix here), curried carrot soup, and carrots au gratin (anything au gratin makes me happy). Since the month is almost over...I guess I better get crackin'...
