I know. I was going for main dishes here, but just feel in a vegetable kind of mood. Carrots. My kids love them. Raw, steamed, and in dishes. I used the whole "They're good for your night vision" that Snopes says is false as a back-up when they were younger, but now they just like 'em.
Microwave Carrots:
Glass dish (or for an individual portion, a coffee mug)
Carrots (yes, I grab the baby carrots that are ready to go)
Water (I hate precision - just put some water in, maybe up to half an inch)
Microwave on high for about 3 minutes or until a fork will go in with a little bit of resistance.
Drain water and (if desired) add a Tablespoon or two of butter, a Tablespoon or two of brown sugar, and a dash of salt. Stir and microwave another 30-45 seconds.
Stovetop Carrots:
Same thing, but on a stove with a covered pan. Did you really think it would be much different? LOL

Over the years, I had grand intentions of teaching my daughters to cook. Nothing fancy, really, because that is not my style. Somehow, time slipped away from us and I find myself with two daughters already having flown the coop, and two more right behind them. This is my attempt to teach them, and others, some very basic menu items to save them and their families from a life of oriental noodles. Main dish recipes to be posted each Wednesday, and dessert receipes posted on occasional Fridays.
