I'm on a carrot craze lately, and hamburgers are always good, so why not combine the two for a healthy AND tasty treat!
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/carrot-burgers-2/detail.aspx
1 1/2 cups diced carrots
2 cups crushed cornflakes
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Hamburger buns
Directions
Place carrots in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until tender; drain. In a bowl, combine carrots, cornflakes, eggs, celery, onion, salt, sugar and pepper; mix well. Form into six patties. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Serve on buns if desired.

Week 38: Chicken Florentine and Carrot Cake
I'm going to make this for my mom's birthday party this weekend!
Chicken Florentine with Mixed Veggies and Popovers
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-florentine-casserole/detail.aspx
Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 (13.5 ounce) cans spinach, drained
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
2/3 cup bacon bits
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the chicken breast halves on a baking sheet; bake 20 to 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, mix in the garlic, lemon juice, cream of mushroom soup, Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the spinach over the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish. Cover the spinach with the mushrooms. Pour half the mixture from the saucepan over the mushrooms. Arrange chicken breasts in the dish, and cover with the remaining sauce mixture. Sprinkle with bacon bits, and top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.
