Easy Peasy Carrot Loaf
This easy peasy carrot loaf gives banana bread a run for its money! A warming filling delicious loaf that just happens to also be packed with veggies. Especially good with generous lashings of butter. Melanie Lionello has come up with this carrot loaf recipe that uses a packet of Just Veg Carrot shed – an easy way to boost your veg intake, and a great breakfast option. At Just Veg, we take nutrient packed carrots that are perfect – just a bit wonky – and give them new life as carrot shred and carrot sticks. As an added bonus the carrot loaf is freezer friendly – so freeze slices and then take to work to heat up and enjoy for a filling snack.

Truly Easy Peasy and Delicious. I put macadamias in instead of walnuts and it worked perfectly.
Made this a few weeks ago and my husband, 18 month old son, and I all LOVED it! Crockpot recipes are my go-to on evenings that I won’t have time to make dinner and this is one of our favorites already. We are having it for the 3rd time tonight!!! Thanks to Pinterest for helping me find you!
I made this tonight almost exactly as the new directions say. I had baked chicken left over from Sunday dinner so I used cooked chicken instead of raw. I just added the chicken and the rice a little later. It was not too thick at all. In fact just perfect. I love soup. Will be a family favorite.

I recently make a turkey meatball recipe that used Amy’s chunky tomato bisque for the sauce and I put it over spaghetti squash, you could also make the recipe using lot’s of different farmers market veggies.
