We all have go-to recipes when the work week gets busy, but sometimes it can start to feel repetitive and boring. Mike and I have started experimenting with new side dishes. It’s an attempt to make our week night dinners feel fresh again without reinventing the wheel and we started with these Honey Roasted Carrots.
