Garlic Butter Drizzled Carrots

I used to hate carrots so much that I couldn't even look at them on my plate.  That was probably about 30 years ago.  But the memory still stays with me because the relationship was just so awful.  Now, as a 40 something year old, I love them!  I can have them in absolutely anything that you put in front of me and I am happy.  However, my kids, like my old self, can't stand cooked carrots either.  I try and fail and then I just give up.  It really isn't worth the fight.  I would love to say that they gobbled these down at first sight, but I would be a lying.  They wouldn't even look at the plate on the table.  What was I saying about trying again?

So, for those of you that do have a pallet for carrots, these are really great.  We had them on Monday with the Ginger and Citrus Glazed Turkey and it was a fabulous combination.
