DELICIOUS CARROTS
My favorite way to make carrots now; I got the recipe from my mom, who made them at Christmas last year. They have a delicious flavor and aren't overly sweet. If you can't find the petite carrots, use regular carrots cut into matchsticks or baby carrots cut lengthwise into halves or quarters.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions and cook, stirring often, until soft and transparent.
- If butter begins to brown, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add carrots and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes for crisp-tender.
- Season with a dash of nutmeg and salt & pepper to taste.
SIMPLY DELICIOUS HONEY SPICED CARROTS
Edited after RSC reviews to make this less sweet. Carrots are a tasty yet budget conscious vegetable. However, cardamom can be an expensive spice so I buy it in bulk at my Health Food Store. That way I can buy just what I need at a fraction of the price charged in the grocery store! Kids generally like baby carrots so why not cook them up as a tasty side dish and get them eating a vegetable with their meal! Remember, DO NOT give honey to children under one year of age! I like to saute the carrots as that brings out the sweetness of the carrots but steam them if you prefer. Hope you enjoy this creation!
