Carrots are a great super food that can be used a bunch of different ways. While you can easily cook them faster in a pot on the stove, that involves being able to stand there and stir and my girls just don’t always allow for that to happen! Ha! So, I’ll take the help from my slow-cooker, prep. this during my little ones nap and it’ll be ready to pair with any main dish for dinner. It guarantees a healthy dinner that I don’t have to put much thought behind.
