Happy Wednesday! Phew… what a day! We will get on that in a minute. I have been working on house decisions what feels like all day yesterday as the builders had made some great progress and had lots of questions as the floor system got underway today. House Update Below!!!!
On to the carrots! These babies were amazing. As part of the huge barbecue feast from yesterday we had some fresh garden carrots that were just aching to be kicked up with some Canadian Maple Syrup. Now not that this carrot recipe is low in fat… but I really enjoyed them.
Here are the simple step by step instructions on how to spin these carrots for your next dinner.
Ingredients
- Carrots
- 1 Tbsp. Butter
- 1 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Tsp. Fresh Thyme
- Salt
- Pepper
Method
- Wash carrots and cut ends off.
- Cut into pieces and place in pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.
- Drain water, turn off heat and place pot back on the burner.
- Season immediately while hot, add butter, thyme and maple syrup.
- Stir and serve.
- ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: I like to slightly under cook vegetables as I find they taste better than when they are mushy. So I like to keep a close eye and try to cut them similar in size so they cook evenly.
House Update
So there you have it! Some kicked up carrots and a zesty house update. Have yourself a great Wednesday and I will see you all tomorrow for a very “Beantown” menu choice.
Take care

Maple! I tried to make these the other day (my mom used to make them when I was little), but I used honey. They did not turn out very good! I will try maple next time. Thanks, Zesty
