Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
I never ate carrots as a child except with pot roast, and they were not that great, let me tell you. Once I became an adult and discovered glazed carrots at an Asian restaurant, I could not get enough of their delicousness. So began the hunt for a glazed carrot recipe so I could have my fix at home!! This recipe did it! So easy, so good, so good for you. I love them so much I do not have to pair them with anything else. And if I am really lucky, I don’t have to share….no I do not eat them all at one time; I try to spread them out and savor their goodness as long as possible.
