Ingredients: 1 pound carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices; 3/4 cup water; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 medium navel orange, peeled, sectioned and cut into bite-size pieces; 2 tablespoons butter; 1 tablespoon minced green onion, optional; 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

I found it very difficult to get children (and even my "big kid") to eat carrots. By adding an orange and serving carrots crisp-tender, I have found that my family is very receptive to this vegetable dish.
