Very nice side dish Jim. I chunked up whole carrots in place of the "baby carrots" but that was the only change. The slight taste of nutmeg and orange is wonderful with the carrots. A nice change of pace from the other way I make a side dish of carrots. Made for your win in the Football Pool Week 1 of 2009! Congrats!

These were really good. Not overly sweet. Great side dish for baked chicken. I steamed my carrots in the microwave, then added all of the other ingredients and nuked for about 2 more minutes. Yummy. And as an added plus...DD (3) liked these to.

Delish! I used baby carrots and left them whole, but followed the rest of the recipe as directed. We really enjoyed that subtle taste of nutmeg too. Thanks for such a simple and wonderful side dish Maryland Jim.
