Potato Thins-Similar to Potato Skins

Hey everyone!

Hope you all enjoyed the super bowl! Wow, what a nail biter! I had the 49ers winning by 3, but instead, Ravens win by 3...oh well. I didn't really mind who won anyways. I was just in it for the food!!! We had a couple people join us at our house and we were having fun munching on the snacks, chatting, watching the commercials and of course, the lady of the hour, Beyonce!!! She is such a stunner! Can't believe she just had a baby!!!

Anyways, the day before the Super Bowl, I came up with this summer yummy side dish to go with a not-so-inspired main dish. These are super delish and would be super easy to take along to a pot-luck or party to share! Hope you enjoy!

Butter Dill Glazed Carrots

Hey everyone!

If you are like me, during the summer, you want to eat light by adding fresh side dishes. Nothing to me speaks more fresh than garden carrots or dill. I didn't want my carrots to have extra sugar or maple or brown sugar, so I c
reated a recipe that would create summer carrots and still keep it simple and fresh...Makes a fabulous addition to any meal!
Butter Dill Glazed Carrots

1 lb. Carrots, tops trimmed 1"
1/4 c. Butter, Salted
1 Tlb. Fresh Dill, Chopped
S&P to Taste
1. Heat Butter in sauce pan until melted.
2. Add carrots {keep whole} and dill and saute for 5-6 minutes until tender.
3. Season with S&P to taste...

Hope you enjoy! Until Next time...
