I used 2 carrots and 1 green bell pepper. I didn't measure them. I used near 3 tablespoon of brown sugar cause I didn't want it too sweet. That's perfect. This is very tasty. Thanks Melvin's Wifey :) Made for Holiday Tag. -
I work in a group home and made this recipe yesterday for my clients and it was a huge hit. I have one picky eater and I could not believe how well she ate. I think this was the best I have seen her eat in a year! I only had one can of chicken broth but doubled all the rest of the ingredients so I had to add water to the pan inorder to soften the carrots enough as I didn't have a mandolin to make nice even slices. Served with broccoli and brown rice and we had enough for our meal and lunchboxes and not a drop more. I will be making this for the clients again. It was nice to see everyone eat with gusto for a change!! Thanks much! Jonesy -
This was EXCELLENT! Great flavor and very easy. The whole family loved it. I wouldn't change a thing.

I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir!
However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around!
I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side!
My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food!
