I have to admit to you all – the end of this pregnancy is kind of kicking my butt. I’m really struggling to keep things going instead of just climbing into bed and waiting for this baby to come!! I’ve actually been doing really well at cooking, but photographing and the writing part have been hard to keep up with. Luckily, I’ve been building a reserve of recipes so that once I have the baby, my blog will go on like normal, but in the meantime, I apologize if I’m short on words and if I haven’t been around visiting other blogs much.
But – I will still be bringing you recipes!! And this is glazed carrot recipe is one you HAVE to try. I seriously could have eaten this whole batch of carrots myself. So if you, or a loved one, suffers from not loving veggies, this is the perfect way to change that!!

- 1 pound carrots, peeled
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- pepper
- Slice the carrots into ¼-inch slices on the bias. In a 12-inch skillet, combine the carrots, chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the salt. Cover the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook until the carrots are almost tender, about 5 minutes.
- Uncover the skillet and let the carrots cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Continue to cook and stir until the carrots are completely tender and covered in the glaze, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
Simple and delish. Good luck with your baby!
Deborah, I am right there with you! I'm getting to my done point, and have found myself just not caring about getting a photograph of an awesome meal, or have great pictures but not posting because I just can't seem to write the post.
The carrots look delicous. I'm sure I could eat the entire batch myself too.
My great grandmother and then my grandmother always made glazed carrots for Thanksgiving. I never liked them as a child but love them now!
And kudos to you for still keeping up with your blogging when you are about to have a baby! I hope for your own comfort your baby comes soon!
TOTALLY understandable Deborah! I still have yet to figure out how you do what you do!
These glazed carrots sound AMAZING!
We love this recipe! Hooray for baby!!!
Take a break!! Girl, I demand you go rent a movie and order some take out. You deserve a day!
oh – sounds like a really interesting twist. Will need to give these a try.
I remember being pregnant only too well (my little boy is now two years old). I worked right up until the day before he was born. I pushed myself too far and a difficult birth did not help matters either.
Try and take it easy – get some rest whilst you can. Your life is totally different forever (in a good way !) once little one arrives….
That last stretch there at the end was always the toughest for me too. I hope you have a chance to rest during the day.
Glazed carrots are a real favorite of mine. I'm with you, I could eat the whole bowl of them!
mmmm, i love carrots cooked like this!
Sweet woman…I am so impressed that you are continuing to share when the big baby day is coming so soon! Thank you for thinking of us…your recipes always bring me joy, and even your short blurbs bring a smile to my face. These carrots look perfect!
I already love cooked carrots, but these sound like they have the perfect extra twist to them! We're featuring side dishes this week at the M&T Spotlight and I'd love for you to submit this. http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight
