When I was a little girl, my favorite vegetable was always cooked carrots. Not surprising, my mom cooked carrots every which way since that is what I liked. I also know as a parent, if your child really likes a particular vegetable, you cook it! After all of these years, I still love carrots. It just happened that my neighbors went apple picking and surprised me with a wonderful bag of apples. Carrots and apples, two of my favorites. So out came my stash of recipes from my mom and I made one of my favorites, Honey Glazed Carrots with Apples. This recipe is perfect for fall, a great accompaniment to roasted meats, chicken or turkey. I hope you enjoy carrots as much as I do!
