Hi everyone I am so glad to be back in town and home. I really enjoy visiting with family but there truly is no place like home. I'm also glad to be back on track with my Sunday postings. Today I wanted to a recipe for one of my favorite side dishes, Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots.
This recipe is my absolute favorite way to prepare fresh carrots. Not only is this a tasty dish but it is also a frugal side dish because carrots are relatively inexpensive.
For this recipe fresh carrots are steamed and then lightly simmered in a yummy buttery brown sugar glaze.
They're perfect along side any weeknight dinner, but yet fancy enough for any dinner party or holiday meal. These carrots are so shiny and pretty when they are finished.
This is also a great way to get the kiddos to eat carrots. I hope you will give this recipe a try.

Your going to start by cleaning and peeling the carrots and cutting them into bite-size pieces. Or you can just use fresh baby carrots like I do. I find them on sale quite often. Steam 10 minutes in a vegetable steamer. Set the carrots aside to keep warm.
In a separate medium skillet melt the butter over low heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg or ginger. Simmer the mixture for about 1-2 minutes.
Add hot steamed carrots, stirring well to coat all the carrots. Simmer the mixture for just a couple minutes. Remove when the carrots are shiny. Place in pretty a serving dish.
Ingredients:
1 - lb. fresh baby carrots or
regular carrots cut into bite size pieces
4- tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
6 - tablespoons brown sugar
1 - teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 - teaspoon nutmeg or ginger
1/4 - teaspoon salt
Directions:
regular carrots cut into bite size pieces
4- tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)

1 - teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 - teaspoon nutmeg or ginger

Remove when the carrots are shiny and well glazed and place in a serving dish.
