BUTTERY CARROTS 'N' ONIONS
My mother served this attractive side dish for all her special dinners, so I've been eating carrots this way since I was a child. Even my dinner guests who aren't too fond of carrots ask for this recipe. The added sweetness from the honey is a pleasant surprise. -Joanie Elbourn, Gardner, Massachusetts

OVEN-ROASTED CARROTS AND ONIONS
The dry heat of the oven caramelizes the natural sugars in vegetables, which brings about an amazing depth of flavor. Baby carrots vary in size depending on time of year and where they are grown, so check for doneness after 30 to 40 minutes.

FOREVERMAMA'S SAUTéED CARROTS WITH RED ONIONS
I've been making these carrots since I was a very young girl. They are delectable served as a side dish with any meal. It's my husband's favorite vegetable, and he's not a big fan of vegies. It is always on my Holiday table. It pares great with roasted turkey and a beef roast!

FOREVERMAMA'S UPPER CRUST POTATOES
These are Delicious!! They're not the healthiest but because of their yumminess it is a standby to serve with roasted meats and poultry. This recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks (with my own tweaks) "The New Basics" by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins.

ROASTED CARROTS AND RED ONION WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR
I made this last year for the holidays, and it was terrific! I added the garlic (of course!) I use a combo of the butter and the olive oil, but Zaar would not let me say this in the recipe. (Or maybe I don't know how to word it right.) Can easily be doubled or even tripled. Hope you enjoy!
