CARROT CAKE ROLL

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CAKE:

3 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup flour
2 cups shredded carrots
Powdered sugar, to aid in rolling

FOR THE FILLING:

6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a jelly roll (10Å~15”) pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Beat eggs at high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk together salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and flour. Stir into wet ingredients just until blended. Stir in carrots.

Use a spatula to spread it to all the corners of the pan. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Set a clean kitchen towel out on a large work surface. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, turn it over on the kitchen towel. Remove foil carefully.Working at the short end, fold the edge of the towel over the cake. Roll tightly, rolling up the cake into the towel. Let cool at least 1 hour. While the cake is cooling, make the frosting. When cake is cool, carefully unroll the towel.

Spread the filling on the cake evenly, and re-roll tightly. Chill about 30 mins. Dust with powdered sugar, then slice and serve.

BACON PARMESAN BEANS

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup water
1/3 cup red onion finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. fresh green beans
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Pepper to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or we refer to it as shaky cheese)
5-6 strips of bacon (for a healthier option you could use turkey bacon)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large skillet or pot, bring water to a boil and add the green beans.

Let the beans boil for about 3 minutes, then cover with a lid for about 5 minutes and reduce the heat to low, to allow the beans to steam and soften.

Drain the beans and add the olive oil, red onion, lemon juice and minced garlic.

Change the heat to medium, and sauté the beans, garlic, and onions until they begin to go a little clearer.

Add the onion salt, garlic salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and bacon until everything is heated through and well incorporated.
