Option 2: Carrot Layer Cake
Carrot cake used to seem like such a weird concept to me when I was younger, but as I have grown older I have learned to love the flavor sensation in my mouth as well as the amazing cream cheese frosting, however I have never attempted to make a carrot cake myself, so this would be my first try.

Raspberry Glazed Pork

Here is the deliciousness of the meal that we had tonight :)  Enjoy

Raspberry Glazed Pork
 
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Butter
4-5 Pork Loin Chops
Seasoning (Tarragon, Alpine Touch, Mediterranean Oregano, Dash of Cinnamon)

Glaze Ingredients :
2-3 Tbsp Butter
1/4 Cup Red Raspberry Preserves
3 Tbsp Sugar
Fresh Raspberries (Can use frozen berries once thawed)

Directions:
Add the 2 Tbsp butter to the pan and melt.  Season the pork loins and add to the melted butter in the pan.  Cook on medium-high heat until thoroughly browned on both sides (about 15 minutes).  Turn the heat to low-Simmer and score the meat (cut against the grain to allow the glaze to seep into top section of the meat for added flavor).  Prepare the glaze by melting the butter in the microwave (about 20-35 seconds).  Add the raspberry preserves and sugar and return to microwave for another 20 seconds.  Thoroughly mix together and spoon over the pork in the pan.  Cook until glaze is warm and soaking into the pork.  Remove from heat and serve with the glaze and adding the fresh raspberries on top.
