Hmmm... I can actually find a normal-sized jar for like $6. Have you asked at Whole Foods (if there is one near you)? I think your recipe sounds good, but it'll probably taste too carrot-y. Maybe start off with more like a tablespoon! You can always add more, but not less. The nuts sound good, though! :) Let me know how it turns out! Hey Rhea!

I've been around to lots of sites and read about the raw food philosophy. It makes a lot of sense to me and has got my interest. I have had larabars before and enjoyed them, and making them at home seems like a great introduction to making that sort of food. You have a carrot cake macaroon bar up, but it requires coconut oil. Which is only really sold in larger amounts for equally larger amounts of money :( But! My local supermarket has a health foods section with organic fruits/nuts that you spoon out to get the exact amount that you want, which makes it easy to try larabars/babies out. Since you seem to be an expert on all things carrot cake, as well as all things baby-related, I was wondering if you would have any input about the ratios in my completely made up/arbitrary recipe for carrot cake larabars, sans coconut oil? 1/4 cup dates 1/4 cup shredded carrots 1 tablespoon raisins 1/3 cup pecans 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (with maybe 1/4 cup cashews, some vanilla and lemon, and a few dates as "frosting" ... ISH?) Too much carrots? Different nuts? Eek! In other words, I am a freak. Additionally, I am a little gunshy about trying new things. But anyway! Thanks for any input you have :) And even if you don't, thanks for reading this longwinded comment :P Katie, I am new to the food/health food blog “scene,” as it were.
