We just wrapped up a busy weekend in preparation for an even busier week. Our weekend consisted of grocery shopping for the whole month and cleaning and organizing our kitchen and master bedroom. I love ending a Sunday feeling very productive.
However, I know I still have many hours of work ahead of me over the next few days. But if I play my cards right, I’ll make the rest of my month so much easier!
Tomorrow’s plans include prepping and dealing with 10 pounds of ground beef, making 6 dozen muffins, a batch of sausage balls and making a few pounds of caramelized roasted carrots. If I’m feeling really ambitious, I might try to fit in a few more things too, but I’m not going to count on it.
Now, on to the recipe. You know those caramelized roasted carrots I mentioned above? Well, I made a batch of them tonight and they flew off everyone’s plates. They were just the right amount of sweet with an awesome of texture of soft outside and crunchy inside.
