Carrots.....HELP!
rockingrandma:
Here's the deal. DD is on WIC and since she is breastfeeding she gets carrots. Well we now have 3 pounds of carrots sitting in the fridge untouched that are going to go bad soon if I don't do something with them. If anybody has any ideas (other than carrot cake, nobody here likes that) I'll be very appreciative!

Carrots are great when they're boiled or steamed. Cut them into thirds or quarters, lengthwise, and add them to a pot with enough water to just cover them. Turn off the heat when they're still a little firm (but not rock hard) and drain the water. Add a little butter and brown sugar or honey to glaze them (maybe a tablespoon of sugar, not too much) and they're very tasty. You can also cook them in the juice of any roast you make--maybe with some potatoes, cabbage or celery?--and that will add flavor to them as well.

Carrots cooked how you like them with toasted sesame seeds.

They make great doggie snacks if you have a dog. :)
I don't much care for cooked carrots but when I entertain, sometimes I par-boil them and then sautee them in butter and brown sugar. Top with fresh chopped parsley.

Cut them up into little nickels and steam them with a little water (covered). It will take about five minutes in the microwave. Then you can flavor them with whatever you like (I like just a little salt!).
