This is embarrassing but---How do I cook carrots?

[Guest guest]

You can tell what a wonderful cook I am by this question. I tried

steamong julienne carrots yesterday and it took forever and nobody ate

them. (And I burned the pan!) So I am giving the muffins that were

mentioned a shot with using carrots. (since I have a bunch on hand

now!) Can I boil them? And if I can how do I do it?

thanks!

Don't be embarrased about anything. You've got enough on your plate.

The water just cooked away too fast. Carrots do that, and everyone who cooks

has burned their pans at least once. If you steam them again, check them often

and keep the water level consistant. Easier is to use a steamer basket (cheap

at the market or target), or even a rice cooker.

You can do just about anything with carrots. You can boil them, grind them up

in meat loaf, or juice them for drinks.

Honey, if I had a buck for every time I screwed up a dinner, I'd have more

money than Oprah.

Thank you! Now I don't feel so stupid. I never realized how much I don't truly

cook until we started this diet!

I thought I'd chime in and say I've done the same

thing. All the water boiled away from my green beans

one day when I wasn't paying attention. I figured they

were covered and they would be OK. That didn't work.

LOL.

I have better luck now when I boil a LOT at one time.

So that is what I do now.

I've the carrots on the stove now so keep your fingers crossed! My husband said

he can now say his wife really can burn water--wasn't so funny last night

though!
