Honey-Butter Peas and Carrots

Hello all and happy Thursday!  So I'm thinking there are plenty of our Asylum visitors that have kids.  Um, we do have straight jackets in all shapes and sizes LOL!  Anywho...............today's recipe is a guaranteed way to get them to eat peas and carrots.  Granted, a lot of kids love these two vegetables all on their own.  However, I am aware that there are others that don't want to touch any vegetable with a ten foot pole!  I am very blessed that my young grandchildren will eat just about everything!  So, I realize that the vegetables themselves are much healthier without butter and honey, but it's still better for them to eat them than not.  And in my opinion the amount of sweetness added is minimal but really shines in the flavor.  Beware, also, that it makes a lot.  Good amount for my family of four, however when made for mom and dad, it was too much and ended up having to throw some away afters days of eating on it lol!  Hope it helps you out!  Have an awesome finish to your week and spend your weekend counting your blessings!  See you Saturday.
