Does anyone have suggestions for different ways to use carrots? I love them and most of the time I eat them raw or in a vegetable medley. I would love to try something different. Any suggestions?

RE: Carrots
I like raw carrots dipped in hummus. I also put carrots in my mashed potatos with a little bit of garlic. The ratio is about 1 part carrot to 3 parts potato. I also make carrot fries in the oven, I slice them up just like potatos and toss them in a tiny bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Their really good. Sometimes I do a mix of that too w/ some potato fries mixed in.

Great!! I really like the carrot fries idea. I love sweet potato fries in the oven but I never thought about having carrots that way. ;) I will give that it a try. I'm not a fan of hummus though. I tasted it at a party and didn't like it. What exactly is it's benefits to a healthy diet? I may have to do some research on this just to see if I can learn to like it. :) Thanks for the suggestions.

RE: Carrots
Hummus is smashed up chick peas with tahini which is made from sesame seeds, garlic, and lemon juice. It's pretty low in calories, about 80 calories for two tablespoons, and has fiber in it. I've tried a whole bunch of different brands, there are some bad ones. If you wanted to try it again the brand I've found to be the best is called Sabre, it's near the deli at my grocery store. You can also make it yourself but I have yet to do that. I'm the only one in my family who likes it so I can see why you wouldn't. Glad I could help with the carrots.
