When I made these last week with another new recipe I tried, mushroom quionoa bake, I thought the family might balk. Sometimes putting two new recipes on the table can be a bit risky. Much to my surprise both recipes were a big hit and there weren’t even any leftovers to clean up.

I was hoping for just a few leftovers to eat for lunch the next day, but that didn’t happen. Oh well. The buttery dill carrots recipe is easy enough to make, I just may have them on their own for lunch instead. Carrots are good for you and I need to eat more of them.

  1. Thank you for this great and easy recipe. Making for Thanksgiving. Do you think I can boiled carrots the day before and the. Sauté in butter and dill before dinner on Thanksgiving? Looking for a shortcut to last minute prep. Thank you!

  2. These look so good! I love carrots. Anxiously awaiting the chicken quinoa recipe too. I still have an unused packet of quinoa I’ve been meaning to try.
