Kicked up Carrots Recipe #292571

A twist on the traditional cooked carrots. I needed something quick to put in my wife's lunch for the next day and suddenly came up with this brainstorm. We both loved the flavor. I don't measure when I make new recipies and this is a doubled version meant to serve two people since the orignal was whipped together for one person, so adjust these measurements to suit your own taste.
