Honey Glazed Carrots

Put some more veggies in your picky eaters tummy! Whenever we have carrots, Emma asks "are they honey glazed?" Horrible mom that I am lies and says yes, because that's the only way she'll eat them. >:) She doesn't realize that she likes carrots that aren't honey glazed too. These are always a side along with the cheesy mashed potatoes. Found this recipe online a few years ago, wrote it down, and forgot the site. Sorry!


Ingredients
6 large carrots, cut in strips *I just cut into little slices
2/3 C water
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice *I just realized that I usually put in 3 Tbsp, never look at the recipe anymore! Tastes good my way too. :)
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp honey
salt and pepper to taste
chives and parsley to taste *I've never added these though, probably should some day


Directions
Combing carrots and water in a pan. Cover and cook over medium to high heat, until water is evaporated, or until carrots are tender. Be sure to check on it, I once burned carrots for letting it go too long. Remove from heat and drain water if they get tender before the water evaporates. Toss lightly with butter, honey, and lemon juice. Add the salt and pepper to taste and garnish with the chives and parsley. 


Very easy and kid friendly. :)
