One of our family's traditions is making about once or twice a month a breakfast meal for dinner. Does your family ever do that? We put on our PJ's and eat a yummy breakfast dish. Usually, in the mornings I do not have enough time to make things like pancakes or french toast, because the kids are STARVING and all they want is something simple like cereal. I didn't want my breakfast talent to go to waste, so I implemented it into dinner time.This Cooking Light recipe is so yummy too, that you really don't mind having pancakes for dinner! Plus they have shredded carrots in them. Delicious!

1 TB canola oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 TB honey, optional
3 TB butter, softened, optional
1. Spoon flour into measuring cup. Level with knife. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients with a whisk. In a different bowl, combine brown sugar through egg. Add sugar mixture to flour mixture, stirring till just moist. Fold in carrots.
