So I made this fabulous dinner for my husband last nite (Pot Roast, Chocolate Cake. Thanx for all the help!),  then I realized what am I going to do with these carrots?  I happened to have an old recipe of my mom's that came off of a 'Parkay" box.  So I tried it and boy was it good!

Zesty Glazed Carrots

1   package (2 lbs.) baby carrots (3 cups)  I cut my carrots to baby carrot size

1   cup water

2   tblspns. Parkay spread tub

2   tblspns. firmly packed brown sugar

1   tblspn. Zesty Honey Mustard

1   tspn. chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Heat water in medium saucepan over medium-high heat until reaches full boil, add carrots.  Cook carrots over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender, drain carrots.  Remove carrots from pan, cover to keep warm.

Add Parkay, sugar and mustard in same saucepan.  Cook 2 minutes, or until margarine is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring constantly.  Add carrots, stirring until evenly coated.  Sprinkle with parsley id desired.  Enjoy!

Hi chicagosinger!

Your recipe sounds great! I have one you might try and it's excellent for carrots.

Cut carrots in large diagonal pieces

With a little olive oil let these heat up.

Add about 1tsp. of freshly grated ginger and 1/2 cup of orange juice and just a little of the zest of the orange. When the juice thickens a little, add a little water, turn the heat down and cook until tender.

These are so good!

Hi 2totravel,  Cool,  If you try it let me know if you like it!  Thanks for your recipe, it sounds great also.  I've never tried ginger, what does it taste like?  I heard it was hot-spicy, is it?  The recipe almost sounds like an orange sauce my mom used to make or I think I've had it on Roast Duck.  Do you know how to make orange sauce?  If you do, could you post it?  By the way, welcome to the site!   I bet you've got alot of great reecipes to share.  I became a member because even tho' I have my mom's recipes, I'm still a novice when it comes to cooking.  Not only do I need recipes but I need to learn alot of things.  I'd also like to develop a better instinct for creating recipes, but I need to understand measurements and such things first.  I tell people about this often, years ago when I married my first husband I used to burn boiling hotdogs!  No kidding, it's true!  Thank God I'm better at it now!  Anyway, I look forward to seeing your recipes and ideas posted and I hope you try my recipe and let me know what you think!

Delicious and easy to prepare recipe ! Thanks

Hey 2totravel!  I tried your recipe for carrots last night, LOVED IT!  I didn't know what the ginger looked like and my husband does the grocery shopping for us (I'm in a wheelchair).  I couldn't describe it to him, so it was a hilarious fiasco for him to find it.  He got the groceries home and I used a potato peeler (I hope that's right).  And the meal turned out great!  The ginger adds a really different but delicious taste to it!  Do you have any other recipes using ginger ?  I have lots left over, so I figure I'll try some other recipes.  If you do, could you post them please?  Thanx!!!
