CARROT HONEY LOAF
As a busy health-care professional and mom, one of the most meaningful gifts I give to the people I love is my time and skills in the kitchen. I have been baking since I was 7 years old and while I still am an avid baker, raising three children, caring for three dogs and working full-time leaves me with little energy! My family appreciates all my efforts and this is a favorite extra "gift" I give people for special events like a housewarming or welcoming a new baby. It is especially good toasted with butter. -Krystal Horudko, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

HOMEMADE LAVENDER HONEY
In Provence, lavender honey is made by the bees that frequent the wild purple-budded bushes growing near their hives. Be aware that this homemade version, infused with lavender flowers, needs to stand for 24 hours before being used. If you purchase dried lavender flowers, be sure that they are culinary quality. A lovely gift! From "From the Cook's Garden".

Tips:
- For a sweeter loaf, use a sweeter honey, such as clover honey or orange blossom honey.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure your loaves are evenly cooked, rotate them halfway through the baking time.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can bake the batter in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- These loaves are best served fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
