simply glazed carrots.

We all know kids are funny about vegetables.  Or at least mine are.  I’ve given this some thought since we’ve started producing picky offspring.  And frankly I’m always thinking about it since my kids change their minds nearly every hour on what they like and don’t like.

But there are carrots.  With a little sugar and butter.  Some salt and pepper.

Voila!

Veggies are served, and eaten!  So simple and easy.  Your kids won’t know what hit them :)
