Did not care for this at all. Too buttery and sweet, not enough of the other flavors. Such a waste of carrots.

My family loves this carrot recipe- usually I struggle to get the kids to eat veggies but this recipe is a sure thing to get them to eat without the fuss!

We did not care for these. They might be better without the dill weed.
