Honey Soy Glazed Carrots



Honey Soy Glazed Carrots
 
 
 
Want an easy, delicious, quick, tasty, can be whipped up in a jiffy side dish? Want a recipe with just four simple ingredients you will already have in your pantry? Want to get your picky little tike (and husband for that matter) to eat cooked carrots without scrintching up her nose? Make this recipe. Now, I love carrots. In fact.....want to be let in on a little secret? I eat so many carrots the  bottoms of my feet and palms of my hands are orange. No JOKE. You wouldn't really notice (thankfully, unless I held up my hand next to yours). Apparently it's a known condition called carrotitis or something like that. On a whim I Googled it. Guess it's good to know I'm not the only human Bugs Bunny out there. Now why doesn't HE have orange hands and feet.....I would really like to know. Ok, so to whip this little number together, all you need to do is peel 1 lb of carrots then place in a saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Bring to a boil and cook until slightly tender (about 6-8 minutes). Drain then set aside. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the carrots and soy sauce bringing the heat to high. You will want the carrots to get browned in spots, so only stir occasionally (for only about 2 minutes). Once the carrots have some nice coloring, stir in the honey and cook until carrots are glazed nicely. About 1-2 minutes.
