Carrots with Pomegranate Glaze

We, my friends, are on serious withdrawal.

It was only five days ago that our plane touched down at Washington Dulles Airport after the most awe-inspiring, mouth-watering, eye-opening trip to Paris.  We had never been, we had many dreams of what it may be like or more accurately what everything may taste like, but wow, did we underestimate.  Things were buttery, perfectly flaky, brewed properly and poured generously.  My, oh my, did we have a wonderful time.

As we try to get back into the swing of non-buttery things here, we made some of these carrots with an interesting twist.  The pomegranate glaze is tart, but against the sweetness of the carrots works so well.  They take just under 45 minutes or so to prepare and really do look striking when served.  They were perfect when hot, but even better when served at room temperature. Give these a try for your next dinner party, your guests will definitely leave impressed.

Keep a look out for some of our favorite photos from Paris.
