I had written a great post about our dog, Felix, about a half hour ago. Trying to get back to that creative space is not feeling possible tonight, and I really need to get to sleep. Sorry guys. *sigh*

But it's not about me, a blog post, or anything else like that. It's about Felix, our wonderful, warm, loving puppy. Felix turned into a one year old today. He's played with his friends at the dog park, gotten a warm bath (which I assure you, he loves), and eaten a HUGE birthday pupcake.

Since then, this dog has been sleepy, happy, and full. We can't wait to see what this "16" pup-year old will do with his new found maturity.

... or lack there of. ;0)

Pupcakes with Carrots and Peanut Butter

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup shredded carrots

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a jumbo muffin tin with 3 paper liners (or regular muffin tin with 6 liners)

Mix all the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl until all of the flour is dissolved and the carrot is evenly distributed.

Fill the muffin liners 2/3 full and bake for 25-35 minutes, when the tops are golden brown and they spring back when "thumped". Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
