so I decided to make tuna salad sandwiches for dinner (feeling lazy) and thought to add a couple of side dishes and of course, thought of all of you! I wanted to be sure to share, here are my ideas:
Ginger-Glazed Carrots 2 Tbsp butter or margarine 2 large carrots, diagonally sliced 2 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar Pinch ground ginger
In skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook carrots, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in brown sugar and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until carrots are tender and sauce is thickened.
