Remember Sunday dinners at grandma’s house? Every single weekend, she’d whip up an elaborate spread of savory meats and yummy sides. Our favorite side dish was her Brown Sugar Carrots. Mom liked them because they got us to eat our veggies, and we loved them because they were perfectly tender, very buttery, and sweet. Like, we didn’t even realize we were eating something that was somewhat healthy for us. Whether you’re celebrating something special, or just like to do something nice for your family like our grandma, these Brown Sugar Carrots are a great addition to your own delicious, memory-making feast!
