We love serving these carrots with this Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin Recipe and this Garlic Parmesan Orzo Pasta! One might say I’m not actually that adventurous when it comes to food. Maybe you think back to some of the crazy combinations you’ve seen on here: BBQ Chicken Pasta or Grilled Pizza Kebabs maybe, or Apple Crisp Doughnuts. But those recipes are for carbs: pizza, pasta, doughnuts — I can easily get adventurous with my carbs. With my veggies? Not so much. I like to blame this on my Dad. He is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and he likes plain cooked corn, peas or carrots just fine. Other than that? I don’t see him getting all that crazy with his vegetables. And so here I am, and I also like plain cooked corn, peas and carrots just fine. I like bell peppers in my pasta and on my pizza, and in a soup, chili or casserole I will eat pretty much anything. But I don’t often experiment with the ways I cook my vegetables (which is probably why the amount of vegetable side dishes I have on this here blog is a little slim). But I saw this recipe in a Cooking Light cookbook, and I knew how fantastic the honey and citrus combo is from this Baked Honey Lemon Chicken, and so I gave it a shot. Friends, honey + citrus in any savory dish… just amazing. It’s like the honey mellows out the acidity of the citrus and it’s basically just perfection. Around the holidays, with Thanksgiving and Christmas so close together, we always have a ton of potlucks and gatherings going on. I love slow cooker recipes like this because they’re (a) EASY and (b) they transport to potlucks so well, and you can just plug it in when you get there, wherever “there” is. Or if you’re the one hosting, throw them in the crockpot and forget about them while you cook the rest of dinner!
