Maple Glazed Carrots Recipe

Another wonderful recipe from Reneeyemma.com. I just had to post this scrumptious side dish for you all. If you saw my gratitude post that I just posted, these lovely carrots may look familiar.   This past week I received my email from Peggy’s Kitchen, which is from Mothering Magazine, a magazine I just love and subscribe to, for Maple Carrots and Cashews.  It caught my eye and it looked like a wonderful side dish to add to my fall recipes.

When I made it, I tweaked it just a tad.   I didn’t use cashews because of Camille, but I could have added them after. Also, the recipe calls for maple syrup, but in the description, it say’s honey.  I still used maple syrup, but I imagine honey would be just as good, too!  I think it’s just a typo.

I really think you’ll love this dish.  We all did over here!
