Haley's Carrots - from Deep South Dish

Ingredients

• 1 pound of baby carrots, rinsed
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter
• 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley

Instructions

Boil carrots in salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well; set aside. To the pot, add the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon; cook over low heat until butter has melted and sugar has incorporated. Add carrots to the pot and toss until well glazed. Season with salt and pepper; taste and adjust. Add parsley and toss. Transfer carrots to serving bowl and pour glaze all over the top.  (I usually double the carrots but I don't double the spices.  They go a long way.)

Cucumber Sandwiches

Sliced Cucumber

bakery made hot dog buns, sliced

home made ranch dip

(made from ranch seasoning and sour cream -  look at ranch packet)

dill weed

Spread ranch dip on bread slice, top with cucumber, sprinkle with dill.

Salted Potatoes

Yukon Gold Potatoes or Small Russets

Olive Oil

Garlic Salt

Scrub and wash potatoes, cut in half, dry.  Roll potatoes in olive oil, then roll in garlic salt and RUB salt in.  Bake at 350 for about an hour.

Lemon, Cherry OR Blueberry Cream Pie

1 C whipping cream, whipped stiff

4 oz cream cheese

1/2 C powdered sugar

Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together.  Fold in whipped cream.  Place in pie crust.  Good pie crust is best but sometimes I cheat and used Great Value graham cracker crust.  

Toppings

WILDERNESS blueberry or cherry pie filling

for lemon I like STONEWALL KITCHEN Lemon Curd

(bought in the jam section at Harmon's)

Whip up 1/2-2/3 of the jar of lemon curd in a mixer to soften.  Fold in to the cream mixture.

Parmesan Rolls

Rhodes Rolls 

Butter

Parmesan Cheese

(I like the big Rhodes Rolls from Costco or Harmons that come in the 70 count pack)

Roll frozen rhodes rolls in butter then the cheap powdered parmesan cheese.  Place on pan sprayed with pam.  Let raise 4-5 hours (depending on how warm your house is).  Bake on 350 for 17-19 minutes.  

Pepperoncini Roast

1 Large Bonless Chuck Roast

1/2 stick of butter

1 small jar mild or medium pepperoncini (with juice)

1 pkg Au Jus mix

1 pkg Ranch Seasoning mix

(mushrooms optional)

Put all in crockpot on high for 10-12 hours.  I like it cooked for a long time.  The juices thicken up and the roast gets more and more tender.

Apple Crisp

6 pared tart apples

1/2 C. Water

3 TBL water

Place apples in 8x8 dish.  Sprinkle with sugar, then water.

1/2 teas cinnamon

1/4 teas nutmeg

1 C flour

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 C Butter

Combine dry ingredients, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.  Spread on top of the apples.  

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350
