Thanks Laurel! I'm posting my Mom's Carrot Cake recipe. Everyone loves it! I like it cause the icing isn't sickeningly sweet like some are. She makes the whole thing using her KitchenAid mixer. I'll stir the carrots etc in by hand when I make it this weekend. (I don't have a KA). But thanks to all the wonderful KT cooks here who share their recipes I might get one someday! Carrot Pineapple Cake 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 2 cups sugar 4 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 8 1/2 oz can crushed pineapple, drained 3 cups grated carrot 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Icing 8 oz cream cheese, softened 5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 1 tbsp sour cream (if she doesn't have any, she doesn't worry about not putting it in) 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 1/4 cups icing sugar In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Add sugar, eggs and oil and beat with electric mixer. Mix in carrots, pineapple and walnuts, mix well. Bake at 375* in a 9x13 pan. Beat cream cheese, butter, sour cream and vanilla. Add icing sugar, mix well. Spread on cooled cake, top with more chopped walnuts.

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Shape mixture into about 54 (1-inch) balls.***I made 75 with smaller balls

Cook meatballs, in batches, in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned (about 5 minutes); remove meatballs from pan, and drain well on paper towels.

Stir together cranberry and chili sauces, sugar and lemon juice. in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until smooth. Add meatballs; reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes or until centers are no longer pink. **Because my meatballs were smaller, cooked in 10 minutes.

***The thyme, etc added an extra delightful taste to the meatballs
