Double Chocolate Carrot Bread
I found this recipe in the gardening magazine, The Heirloom Gardener. It is a quarterly magazine that I look forward to each season. It's both a great gardening magazine and now a great recipe magazine. I guess I am going to have to try more of their recipes because this bread is moist and very very tasty. The cinnamon and nutmeg gives the chocolate a little kick.
Makes two loaves but I'm thinking that you could probably make this into a bundt cake, too.
4 C flour
1/2 C cocoa**
1 1/2 C sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 C grated carrots
1 1/2 C vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 C milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 C semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. butter two 8X4 loaf pans.
In a large bowl combine (whisk together) all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl combine remaining ingredients except for chocolate chips.
Stir carrot mixture into the flour mixture until just blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to completely cool.
Added 2-5-2011 **I used Dutch processed cocoa.
The recipe called this a bread but really it isn't anything close to a bread or a pound cake. It is a loaf cake that is so moist and delicious that it doesn't even need an icing. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to a slice last night and it was just perfect. Next time I make this cake it will be in the form of a bundt cake.

Pork Loin with Classic Coke Slow Cooker Recipe
My sister told me about this recipe during the family get together on Christmas day. Pork loin and Classic Coke? How does this combination even come about? My sister assured me that this was delicious.....so I had to give it a try.
She was right. The pork loin was sooooo tender and the gravy it made was great, too. Plus and this is a big plus, it was so easy.
Ingredients
I used the half of the pork loin that I froze last month. Weight? No idea.
1 package onion soup mix
1 C Coca-Cola Classic (all recipes I read said not to use diet)
salt and pepper
Kitchen Bouquet
Salt and pepper meat and place in bottom of crock pot.
Add soup mix and Coke.
Cook on low for 8 hrs or high for 4 hours.
Pour liquid from crock pot into a sauce pan.
Skim fat.
Season with salt and pepper and add a dash of Kitchen Bouquet. Bring to a boil.
Remove a cup of juice and add corn starch or flour to thicken. Return liquid to sauce pan and cook until desired consistency is achieved.
Pull pork apart with a fork. Pour gravy over pork and mash potatoes.
Enjoy.
Sorry, no photos. I was too busy eating to take photos....LOL.
