It’s always a challenge when you want to introduce something new to your holiday menu; especially if you’re expected to prepare the same old vegetables…boring! I love this new recipe I have for the holiday season. You can pick up the tri-color carrots from your local green market, Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. I love the spice rub, and it’s great on your turkey too! The array of color, the spice and the lime all work so well together. It’s fun to change things up a bit! Enjoy!
