Yummy! I would not change a thing. Both DH and I were doing the happy dance with all the wonderful flavors in our sprout dish. I used baby carrots and just cut them in thirds. This has the wonderful sweet and savory flavors that we all crave. Great dish and it will be made often. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2011.

I steamed the brussels sprouts and the carrots. I wanted to use almonds but couldn't find them. But the veggies were yummy in the glaze. I loved the sweeness combined with the lemon juice. Thanks Gayla :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
