Valentine's Day

Can't forget Valentine's Day.  I bake the kids a special treat each year.  This year, I had the brilliant thought of doing something healthy and fun so it could double as breakfast the next morning.  I came across these purple carrots in the grocery store.  I've purchased them before because I thought they were interesting.  They taste exactly like orange carrots, only they are very purple and stain everything they touch.  After peeling and cutting them, my hands are a dark purple color.  I figured they must be quite healthy with all that color in them.  And purple, perfect for Valentine's day.  I whipped up some purple carrot, bran muffins and jazzed them up with some nutmeg and cinnamon icing.  The kids were delighted.  They were tasty and healthy.  A win-win-win situation.
