Orzo With Peas and Carrots image

I came up with this recipe when my son was a toddler. He was a very picky eater and this was one of the few things he would actually eat. To this day I still make it often, he still asks for it; he's 9 now. If you don't have peas and carrots on hand, just use peas!
