Saturday’s Child…
By Lynn, on October 20th, 2007
is loving and giving. ~:-D
Today my family is going to a get-together, but I have to work. It’s okay. I probably could have (should have) asked off, but it’s really not a convenient time for our staff for me to do that.
I had to get some things together for my hubby to take to the get-together. I made some candied carrots. My own recipe.
Candied Carrots
- 5 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 4 tsp ground sea salt
- 3-4 TBSP coconut oil
Heat coconut oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Mix cut-up carrots in mixing bowl with all other ingredients to coat well. Add to hot oil and stir well. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until carrots are tender — can easily insert a fork. Do not overcook. Remove from heat.
I think the carrots turned out really well.
For desserts, I just bought some things from Whole Foods. One is a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Cake by Just Desserts.
The other is a chocolate pecan pie from Whole Foods.
I think they’ll do fine.
Happy Saturday!! Enjoy your family!!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

The carrots look yummy! We had cooked carrots the other night and I was thinking I wished I’d taken the time to “candy” them… your recipe looks great! I hope your evening at work went well.
Hey Emily!
This week has been good. Busy, but good. The carrots did turn out good.

I’m looking forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
