Hello everyone and all the wonderful ladies of the Ladies of Hive community. This is my entry for this week's contest. When I read the topics, my first thought was "carrots". ๐ Beautiful orange carrots that bring happiness to my every day. So, I chose the following topic:
"If you plan to grow a vegetable garden, what is your favorite vegetable to grow and what dishes do you use it for? Feel free to include a special recipe using that vegetable!"
Carrots have always been present in my life. If they are not in the pot, then they are in the salad or maybe in some dessert or in my hand. ๐ I sometimes eat it raw. I eat it in soup very often. And my family is happiest when I make a dessert out of it.
We all know how healthy carrots are, but we often need to remember that they affect our beauty as well. Our skin, teeth, and hair will be more beautiful if we eat carrots. And we will see better. ๐ That's why I would plant carrots in my garden if I had one. But since I have nowhere to plant them, I have to buy them. And it would be great if they grew everywhere, on their own, without our help, like nettles.
There are a lot of nettles in my environment that no one has planted. They don't need to be planted by us, because they are good at planting themselves. And the soup, made from carrots and nettles, is simply perfect.
When we pick nettles, we should do it carefully because of the stinging.
For this soup, we need carrots, onions, nettles, celery, and potatoes.
Chop the vegetables and put in a little oil to simmer and add water.
Wash the nettles and put them in hot water to get rid of the stinging. Then chop them and add them to the pot near the end of cooking.
Put the spices you like and a little sour cream in the soup.
Nettles purify the blood and have very powerful and beneficial effects on our bodies. This soup can be the main dish and goes well with bread, made from different seeds.
Carrots are the perfect choice when you want to make a healthy dessert as well. My kids love sandwich cookies, so let's make them! ๐
Ingredients:
- carrots (5-6 smaller)
- 250g butter
- 8 tablespoons of sugar
- vanilla sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa
- 2 eggs
- wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons of oatmeal
- cinnamon
- 150g of cream cheese
- 5 teaspoons of powdered sugar
Grate the carrots.
Mix all the ingredients and make a dough that does not stick. Put the dough in the fridge for an hour.
Then roll out the dough with a rolling pin and take out circular shapes with a small glass.
Bake them for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.
And now make cream from a mixture of butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
Once the cookies are baked and cooled, start making sandwiches by putting cream in between.
These will be the sweetest and most delicious sandwiches you have ever tasted. I promise. ๐
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
Greetings!

I love carrots ๐ฅ And the soup and those sandwich cookies look delicious.
Have a nice weekend๐ค
Thank you so much! Carrots are suitable in both sweet and savory versions. The sandwiches are indeed very tasty. And soup is an indispensable part of our table. We eat soup almost every day. ๐ Have a nice weekend too! ๐คโค๏ธ
Gracias amiga ๐๐
Carrots are definitely good for the health and yes, skin too. And seeing the last photos made me drool, lol! And I take your words that they are the most delicious sandwich to taste. Would be awesome to try making them one day (if my lazy bones go away, lol)
Hehe I'm lazy too and these cookies are perfect for lazy ladies. ๐ They are very simple to make. Have a great weekend!
Oh, that's good then hehe. Thank you and have a fabulous weekend too.
I want to grow baby carrot in my garden too
Making stir fry, soup, or even cakes :)
I've never made stir fry, I'd like to know how. It sounds interesting. Or maybe I did but I didnโt know it was called stir fry. ๐ It's great to have a garden!

We have a serious overabundance of nettles in our forest. However, once before in harvesting them to cook, they had so many bugs on them that I could not bring myself to use them. Little bugs like gnats and such. How do you remove them? I thought I could wash them off, but it did not work.
The cookies look lovely! I bet they taste good too! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!
Thank you very much! Have a nice weekend! ๐ค
The nettles I picked didn't have bugs. I don't know what it depends on. They are also sold on the market and I have never seen bugs on them. They are very healthy, they should be eaten often.
It could have to do with the fact that technically, we are in a rainforest. It's a bit on the buggy side, lol! Take care!๐๐ค

Oh yum, these dishes look so lovely!
I'm planning on making my signature dish, spaghetti bolognaise, tomorrow...I know, probably not all that hard, but I'm a simple person and am good at making that simple dish.

Thanks!๐ I love spaghetti bolognese. Itโs a great simple dish. The most beautiful dishes are the simplest. I would like to eat spaghetti now. ๐ I think I'll do it, thanks for the idea.
Oh yes, I agree...Keeping it simply leaves more time for the important things, like long baths! ๐
those cookie sandwiches look delicious, I love carrots. Thanks for sharing ๐

Wow. Incredible how you used your post to share two fabulous recipes. I think the most delicious cake I've ever tasted was a carrot cake with almonds that a friend made. Thank you for sharing your tastes and also the recipes.
