Every week, we invite you to participate in the HealthyYum community by using a particular food or ingredient picked by one of our users, posting it on your blog and uploading the picture to HealthyYum.com.

This week's theme is CARROTS! Oh yes, it's time for this beta-carotene rich guy to shine, so show us what you can do!

The winner of this week's challenge will receive a gift basket from Musselmann's, makers of the best applesauce in the World! Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but their Unsweetened Apple Sauce rocks my socks! (Submit your photos by Saturday, Dec.12, 2009 11:59PM EST  for a chance to win).
