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.
