Sometimes, you just need a super simple side dish. I tend to get in a rut with side dishes. My go-to side dishes are rice, potatoes, corn and green beans. But, sometimes it is nice to serve something other than the usual. My family is usually happy about some variety.
These Butter & Brown Sugar Carrots are a great way to get my kids to eat carrots. They don’t always eat them raw, so coating them in butter and brown sugar sure does help! While these may not be the healthiest way to eat carrots, they sure are good!
