Orange Honey Carrots
"I got this from my mother-in-law. It adds a nice tang to the carrots. I don't much like cooked carrots but this was fantastic. The carrots can either by julienned or cut into rounds."

I had a lot of left-over cooked carrots, so decided to try to dress them up. I fried an onion and added the other ingredients and cooked until I had a nice consistency, then threw in the left-over carrots to heat through. It was delicious. If I had made the carrots this way to start with, there would have been no left-overs!<br/>By the way, I have cooked grated rutabaga this way for years, but hadn't tried this with carrots. -
This is a very good carrot recipe that is very simple to make. I made this exactly as posted (cutting the carrots in rounds), and was surprised at the depth of flavor that was achieved. Also a surprise was that it was not too sweet! I did halve the recipe, but plan on making the full batch for Easter dinner. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2010. -
Simple prep! GREAT TASTE! I'm always on the lookout for different ways to prepare carrots, & this recipe is a great find! Don't know if it made a difference, but I used some Citrus Honey that I found at Trader Joe's the other day! Oh, yeah ~ I did sub lemon pepper for the salt & pepper! This is certainly a keeper! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's PAC]

I live in southern Alberta and am a paralegal for a mid-sized firm - I am the tongue-sticker-outer in the picture, the other girl is my best friend and my sister. I love to cook and will only bake occasionally. I would rather cook a five course meal than bake a cake. We eat a lot of ethnic food in our house - especially as the area we live in has few good restaurants - most are chain stores.
I had some severe health problems in the past and ended up losing my large intestine - as a result I try to eat healthy, non-processed foods that don't aggravate my condition. The only foods I really can't eat are shrimp and bean sprouts.
My two biggest passions would be camping and reading. The best is when I can be doing both at the same time! My boyfriend and I have been together for seven years and we have two wonderful, spoiled cats named Stew and Hummer.
A note on ratings: I believe that one of the most valuable features on this site is the ratings system. I rate dishes according to how I honestly felt about them. If I didn't like someone's dish I will give it a one or two star and explain why. I am not out to hurt anyone's feelings (and won't have mine hurt in return) but I don't think that rating a recipe high even when it has inherent flaws helps anyone else on the site. Just my take on things, you can take it or leave it.
