This recipe was so easy to make and tasted great! I substituted my diced homegrown carrots for the baby carrots, which worked out nicely. I will definitely be making this again!

Tastes fresher than the bagged frozen pea/carrot mix. Good for weeknight meals.

A simple dish with surprisingly great taste! Don't ever serve just plain peas & carrots again, but memorize this recipe! It's one you'll turn to again and again.
