First Things First # 7

Link up time again!

 

1. First thing you do at the gym:

BAHAHA, gym? Are you for realz? Yea, I don't visit that place. 

2. First date with your current significant other:

Well, we kind of disagree on this one actually. I claim our first real date was a lunch at Newk's. If he bought, its a date. 

His claim was it was later that week when he took me to dinner at a local Cajun restaurant and to see the Social Network afterward.

Whatever it was, we seemed to work out fine in the end. 

3. First email address:

I don't really remember besides it being with AOL.com. It was probably something extremely stupid though - like Iheartjustintimberlake or something. Come on, you know you loved love him too. ;)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Tuesday!

 

Rosemary & Garlic Carrots {Recipe}

My hubs and I love some carrots. Seriously. There are carrots in our refrigerator at all times. If I run out, I will make a quick trip to the store for them alone. Did I mention the closet grocery store is about 15 minutes away. Yes, we love 'em that much!

  Here is a simple and easy recipe to make Rosemary and Garlic Carrots!
 

Ingredients:

1. 1 TBSP butter

2. 1 clove garlic, minced

3. 1 lb. carrots, sliced

4. 4 sprigs rosemary

5. 1/2 cup water

6. 1/2 tsp salt

7. 1/4 tsp pepper

 

Directions:

Add butter and garlic to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the carrots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, and boil until the water has evaporated and carrots are crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Make sure to stir occasionally.

Remove rosemary before serving. Enjoy!

Notes: Use olive or canola oil for dairy-free/vegan


Enjoy your new and simple side dish!
