    My channel is weekly food videos and occasional fitness videos. I'm all about inspiring you to the small things that make you feel like a badass - confident, capable, and striding through the world as if you belong in it.
    MUSTARD CARROTS: (this recipe feeds 4 people. Scale up for the Thanksgiving crowd!)
    1 lb of carrots
    1 TBS butter
    1 TBS brown sugar
    1-2 TBS yellow mustard
    1) Peel carrots and cut into sticks or fingers
    2) Cook in boiling water (or steam, or microwave, I suppose) until al dente (or to your desired doneness!). Drain.
    3) In the same pot, add 1 TBS butter and melt. Stir in sugar and mustard. Add carrots. Stir to coat.
    This will not be a pooling amount of "sauce" but rather a glaze on the carrots. Enjoy!

    Just found your video this evening and tried it immediately. My carrots were very thick, so I sliced them crosswise into disks, steamed them, and then glazed them with butter, turbinado sugar (have run out of brown sugar) and mustard. They were just as yummy as you said they would be! I think they will make their first appearance at a family gathering for Easter. Thank you, Nica, for such an easy, tasty recipe.

    I cooked this a few days ago for my mom and myself after buying a big bag of carrots. I don't even like carrots but the price was good. Anyway, we both agreed they tast(ed?) great--a sugary-tang with that converted that raw carrot taste into something deliciously different. I was worried that using jalapeno mustard (it's all I had) would screw things up but I barely noticed the spiciness. My mom asked me to make them again tonight to accompany something she's making.
