I think that we will never see, a veggie grand as carrots be…
Okay, so I am not a poet… but I would like to sing the praises of carrots, however ineloquent that praise may be.
Last night, while in a rush to prepare dinner during a busy afternoon and evening of activities, I finished up the main course and reached for a bag of carrots to serve my boys. “Carrots are awesome!” I thought to myself. No matter how rushed we are, I can always count on carrots, ready-to-eat baby carrots in this case, to be ready to go at a moment’s notice. They are tasty, nutritious, and low in calories and my boys (ages 11 and 13) love them. Who doesn’t love a veggie that your kids love? If we are on the run, everyone can have their own little container or baggie of carrots to snack on in the car, boat, or at any activity where quick and easy nutrition is needed. I count out a predetermined number of baby carrots for each serving. They sit in their own little bowl, a testament to their reign of greatness as the veggie of choice in our home.
Old school carrot lovers may still go with the big bag of carrots that needs to be scraped, cut, and actually prepared a bit. Although I am old school in many aspects of my life, I am 100% modern when it comes to carrots. Baby carrots, ready to eat right out of the bag, are my only carrot choice. No doctoring or dips of any kind are necessary in our carrot world. Although some may sing the praises of organic ready-to-eat baby carrots, I purchase and shower praise on both organic and non-organic ready-to-eat baby carrots with equal fervor.
Why not add ready-to-eat baby carrots to your regular fridge staples? Once you realize that they are both easy and nutritious, as well as tasty, you may turn your back on inferior vegetables forever. Hail carrots!
