So this is a pretty basic recipe that seems to be all over the internet but...
this was one of my favorites growing up, mum made it quite frequently, and I still do when I need something simple to go with a meal.
If we were to follow the lineage, they would be Auntie Marilyn's Bran Muffins, known to us older kids as "Mrs. Bagshaw". When you make a batch to get a photo bring me a muffin :)
ReplyDeleteShoot! I messed up your blog by posting a bran muffin comment under the carrot casserole. So, here's one for the carrots. THE BEST.
ReplyDeleteMy friend, Roberta, wrote on facebook that she tried the carrot casserole for Christmas dinner after seeing it here and it was a big hit! Not that I'm surprised.
