Best-Ever Carrots

Here's another "Best-Ever" recipe.  Cooked carrots were never my favorite until we grew our own and I learned a little trick.  Cut them in julienne strips!

For information's sake, carrots are something I never buy unless they've been organically grown.  Inorganically grown ones harbor all kinds of bad stuff.  The mini-carrots you find in the stores everywhere are not necessarily a good bet either, organic or not.  There's a lot of information out there about carrots.  A google search will give you more than you want to know!

Ingredients:
As many carrots as you need to feed your family
Butter
Parsley
Honey (optional)

Method:  
Trim the carrots and cut into julienne strips.
Steam the carrots until tender.
Melt enough butter for the carrots you've steamed, add some chopped parsley (I use a couple of tablespoons for about 8 carrots)
Add a Tablespoon or so of honey if you like.

Toss the carrots in all that and serve.  They disappear rather quickly around here!
