So for Day 14 of the Month of Veggies, we had Honey Glazed Carrots. This was a relatively easy sell, as Abby loves raw carrots and Lizzy loves baked soft carrots. Abby's not usually big on cooked carrots, and I must admit I don't force it - since she loves raw carrots, why try to force her to eat carrots that are glazed with honey and butter? But if you have a kid who needs convincing to eat their carrots, this would be a great way. I love cooked carrots, and these were right up my alley.
Honey Glazed Carrots
1 lb baby carrots
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/8 tsp ground ginger
dash salt
Boil the baby carrots to desired softness (I did mine pretty soft for Lizzy to be able to manage). Drain. In pot, melt butter and honey together. Add ginger and salt and stir for 2-3 minutes. Toss in carrots; serve.
Celeste has done something very similar to this dish in the past: Honey and Ginger Glazed Carrots (scroll down; they are part of the dinner date).

My little one just started loving carrot sticks with ranch dressing. I know she'd love this too. SOunds good!
Oh, Kara, I just made these, and they are super good! I steamed the carrots in a Tupperware microwave steamer I have. Also I didn't use nearly the full pound of carrots (probably 1/3 lb) but did use the full amounts of other ingredients--only because I like a lot of seasoning!
