january 17, 2012 | I would make this recipe again

I had some larger carrots that had been in the crisper for a couple of weeks so used them in this recipe. Usually I add a bit of water and a good pinch of sugar to the water and microwave until tender. The subtle differences in making this recipe made the carrots taste like fresh out of the ground carrots. Wow! I'm making these for company tonight and can't wait for the comments on how good they are!
