Let's get started!




Homemade Peas and Carrots:
*Prep Time: 5 min.  *Cook Time: 10 min.  *Difficulty:  Easy  *Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 3 Carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 bag of Frozen Peas
• 1/4 c. Chicken Stock
• 3 tbsp. of Butter
• 1 tsp. of Thyme
• Salt and Pepper 

In a sauce pan, melt the butter over a medium/high heat and add the carrots.
Saute the carrots until they begin to brown and become tender, about five minutes.

Then, add the frozen peas to the pot along with the chicken stock.
Cover and let steam for another 7 minutes.
If you want to keep this meat-free simple use vegetable stock or water in place of the chicken stock.

Next, add some salt, pepper, and the thyme.
Cover and cook for 3 more minutes.

There you have it!  Delicious peas and carrots that are tender and al dente, Not mushy and, well, gross!  They are full of flavor and I know your family is going to love them!  ENJOY!
