Friday! Well early early Friday for me, another late night. Went to see Bride Wars tonight with some other “Newport Mommies” and had a great time. I’d probably leave the guys at home for this one. It’s perfect for a ladies night that’s for sure.
For all you Mommy’s out there who would love to win a great Bumbleride double stroller, check out this blog to enter: I Never Grew UP.
Well, for this holiday weekend, I leave you with a very simple, yet beautiful little carrot recipe that I LOVE. Garlic and ginger is such a great combo, so fresh and fragrant. Mind you, use any carrot form you’d like, slice them, dice them even julliene them, just steam them first until slightly tender. I found this cute bag of baby carrots at the neighborhood grocery store (totally over priced), but had to have them. You can’t get much easier than this one, give it a whirl, you won’t be disappointed!
Garlic Gingered Baby Carrots
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 small package baby carrots, approx 2 Cups, steamed until fork tender
Pinch of salt
1. Heat olive oil into a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add baby carrots and salt. Saute for 2 minutes then serve.
2 servings

I wish I could find some beautiful carrots like these!! And I really want to see that movie – I’ll have to drag my sisters along with me since it sounds like one my hubby won’t enjoy! 🙂
I’ve been doing a lot of ginger with carrots lately. I think it’s the combination of the sweet carrots and the bite of ginger that draws me in.
That sounds so good, garlic/ginger/carrots are an awesome combo.
Baby carrots are my favorite, but only can find them if I go shopping near St. Louis.
My husband is a jewel as he went to see “Bride Wars” with me. He even liked it.
What a great side dish. I love garlic and ginger more than anything!
That looks yummy. My baby carrots always come from Wal-Mart and never have those cute little stems on them…
I love carrots with dill. Which is saying a lot because I used to be a carrot-hater!
Your son is so cute!
oooh… i want to see bride wars so bad! and jenny – i was looking at the soup below and just wanted to say i’m glad i’m not the only one who cooks something with a mexican twang more often than not. i love mexican food!
This is a great way to enjoy carrots. Love the pic of your son!

Those carrots look beautiful, and I love the flavor combo!
Hey Jenny, those carrots look so good. I have been trying to come up with different ways to serve them and I am going to try these. I know that my husband will LOVE them, the big test is going to be my 17 year old son’s “picky palate”!!! Thanks for posting and I photo is really good.

I love that your blog celebrates your children as well as your food! Great recipes! I’ll be back!
I tried this tonight, It was really good, easy to do and healthy too. Although I dint have extra virgin oil so I just used canola oil but still tasted good. I love your recipes and go through them every night 🙂 Thanks for being so generous in sharing your recipes.
Your boy is so cute in the pic. Looking forward to more of your recipes!!
