Carrots were on sale in my area for 33 cents a pound. In addition, I grew some carrots in my garden. I have been looking for ways to prepare them. This recipe is different, healthy and delicious. You could easily halve or double it.
I got the Pampered Chef micro cooker pictured in a thrift store. It is terrific for steaming and draining.

Would you like another way to cook and serve carrots? Try carrot pudding. It is colorful and a creative spin on the carrot as a side dish.
This recipe is easy, and with a food processor, it's super fast! Our grandkids love it. Grate carrots and put them in a covered saucepan with a little water and cover tightly.
Melt butter in a 1 1/2 quart casserole on medium high power for 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar and salt.
Pare carrots and halve or quarter. Place in buttered 1 quart casserole. Sprinkle with combined salt and pepper and dot with butter.
I like this recipe because not only is it good, but I think it's a good way to get kids to eat veggies. And we all know that almost everything is better with cheese on it!
The cheddar cheese and stuffing make this a great veggie dish!
These are steamed baby carrots boiled in lemon juice, Splenda and butter.
This is one of my kids' favorite potato dishes. I used to make this when they were babies, to get them to eat both potatoes and vegetables at the same time. I still make these because you can spice these up. What a great dish to compliment any roast or meal you are cooking!
