What We Cook: Perfect Roasted Carrots

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Perfect Roasted Carrots

This recipe isn't in the cookbook, but it is one I have been making regularly since we printed the cookbook. It is a yummy way to get carrots in your diet. You roast the carrots till they get slightly caramelized on the edges, they get super sweet as they roast. I got this recipe from Ina Garten and changed it slightly, though the method is the same.

Tonight for dinner we had spaghetti, I had a handful of these roasted carrots leftover from dinner last night, so I diced them up small and added to the spaghetti sauce, the kids never knew what hit them! They got veggies and didn't even know it, and it added great flavor. For the recipe go to the tab at the top of the blog labeled "NEW RECIPES". Enjoy! --Carissa

Oh, in case you are wondering why you haven't seen a post in a while from my mom....she is in Tyler sick with pneumonia. So, not much cooking going on in her kitchen right now! Pray that she can get better fast. She is getting tired of just laying in bed all day. Some Get Well Emails might be nice.....
