Thanksgiving is almost here!  I get giddy with excitement around Thanksgiving, knowing I will soon stuff my face with turkey and all my favorite sides.  I love getting together with friends and family to share great food and great conversation.  We usually follow up dinner with watching the first Christmas movie of the season.  Our go to?  National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, of course.  It’s my favorite quotable movie… Unfortunately, most of my favorites are not necessarily appropriate to share here.  Gonna keep it PG, folks!  I’ll give you a hint though.  It involves cousin Eddie and his fine RV.  Probably not the best thing to talk about on a food blog, but I like pushing the boundaries of what’s socially acceptable.

So, with that appetizing thought…  Let’s get to the food!

Our skinny orange friend, the carrot, is getting some love today with my recipe for Honey Mustard Glazed Carrots.

They’re so buttery and delicious.  Remember this important mantra when you read this recipe: “There is no such thing as too much butter.”  That is, if you can tolerate it.  I sure hope you can.  If ghee is your go to for that buttery goodness, then bring it on!
