I'd order them in a restaurant and they'd be perfect. I'd make them at home, and they were awful. I even tried cooking them with maple syrup. So, maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I need to let the carrot's own sweetness be the star. Small carrots. I'm going to remember that!Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-62308781621171210082015-12-12T10:00:50.047-05:002015-12-12T10:00:50.047-05:00I do like them Denise.
