Dehydrated carrots are one of food storage’s best kept secrets. Now, don’t get me wrong, you’re not going to need a billion cans of these but you should definitely have at least a few! They are great in soups and casseroles, or my favorite carrot cake! Again, why spend the time peeling and chopping when you could just rehydrate these carrots?

Okay, now for the easy gourmet tips:
Adding the nuts on top of the muffins not only gives it a great look and flavor (it lightly toasts the nuts) but it is also a great way to serve nut lovers and non-nut lovers alike since it becomes obvious which have nuts and which don’t.
If you want to add the stencil idea, all you need to do is go on your computer and type the letter you want to do in Microsoft Word (or which ever program you use for word processing) print out the letter you want to do in a large size (at least 72). Cut it out and place on top of muffin and shake powdered sugar on top.
The carrots are convenient! My last #10 can lasted me a year. Just a teaspoon here and there to add a little color to whatever I was cooking at the time. Usually Chinese fried rice , sometimes vegetable soups. I didn’t pay close enough attention when I purchased another can and ordered full size slices. I much prefer the tiny bits like you have in the photo. Y’all keep prepping !
