THE RECIPE FOR HOW TO COOK CANNED CARROTS
- 1 can of carrots
- ½ cup water
- 2 Tbs real butter
- 2 Tbs honey can use brown sugar OR see notes below
- ¼ - ½ tsp ground cinnamon based on how much you like cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
Drain the carrots of the water that they come packed in.
-
In a medium sized saucepan on the stove top over medium heat, place all of the ingredients listed.
-
Heat over medium heat until heated through a bubbling. Stir frequently
If you don't have real butter, just substitute with margarine or country crock.
If you don't have either, substitute vegetable oil.
It is just fine to substitute the following for honey in an equal amount: brown sugar, white sugar, molasses + 1 tsp white sugar. If you don't have cinnamon, it's fine to just leave it out.
Trust me, add just a pinch of the salt and pepper even if you think it doesn't need it, you'll be surprised how this makes it taste even better.
A tiny sprinkle of nutmeg is nice too if you have some.
If you need instructions for how to prepare this in the microwave, oven, crockpot/ slow cooker or frying pan, those instructions are listed in the post.

There's something I just have to share.
The number of times this holiday season that one of you has written to me to say, "I had _____ on my mind and then decided to look up the recipe I needed and found my way to your site only to see the scripture ______ that has real meaning in my life because of _______". Is incredible.
If it weren't the work of my Lord, then I would think it a hoax.
But, it isn't a hoax.
While I LOVE to hear these stories, I want to make sure that you KNOW it isn't ME doing it either. There is a much higher power here at work than me. I just write the recipes, cook the food, caretake the website and wash the dishes. God is steering this ship. Not me.
So, if you have come here and found something worthwhile or that spoke to you, it was from the HIGHEST power of all.
Here on the cusp of a new year (as I write this, it is almost 2019), I am so thankful for each of you, the stories you share with me and this avenue for sharing God's word in whatever way it benefits you.
I am led to share Proverbs 16 with you because God works everything out in His time, so let go and let God
Proverbs 16: 1-3
To humans belong the plans of the heart,
but from theLord comes the proper answer of the tongue.
All a person's ways seem pure to them,
but motives are weighed by theLord.
Commit to theLord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
