Sweet and chewy, these honey glazed carrots are super simple to make and make one perfect side meal for any type of meat & fish.

It’s early Saturday morning. D. literally rushes into the supermarket (Lidl), not taking his eyes off the store’s luggage locks – you know, fancy buttons, red and green lights and a small-ish door that requires a penny to store your luggage while you shop.
As we stand there for about 10 minutes (or maybe more), I scan the nearby veggie stand to see what’s fresh and possibly on sale. Then, I notice a cute carrot bunch, looking at me, almost smiling. Have you ever seen friendly carrots before? Me neither, so I quickly grabbed a bunch and fearlessly put it in my shopping basket. It feel’s (almost) like I’ve taken it from my granny’s vegetable garden.

As living in the city may leave our little guy with the impression veggies and fruits grow in supermarkets, we try and explain nature’s basic laws every time we see a window of opportunity (read toddler is eager to explore and ready to listen and absorb). And this supermarket trip was just that.
What about you? Do you take your little ones in the store with you?
