Carrot Flowers, Peas & Corn (Fields of Green, Gold and Orange)

Ingredients

• The stars of the Thanksgiving meal are the main dish (turkey or a vegetarian meal) so keep one of the vegetables a simple dish that is familiar to your kids. Add a little whimsy to this happy veggie medley or, if you prefer, just serve the carrot “flowers” if you have a carrot-lover in your house. Carrots also yummy served raw.
• Kids can help: Wash and peel carrots, using a kid-friendly peeler.
• What you need:
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 Pkg. frozen peas
• 1 Pkg. frozen corn
• Seasoning to taste

Instructions

1. Wash and peel carrots. Slice into rounds and then make about 5 small “V” cuts into the edge of each slice. Put peas, corn and carrots into a stovetop pan, add 1 cup water. Bring to boil then reduce heat and cook on medium for approximately 3 minutes or until desired tenderness.
2. Helpful note: For another fun twist- replace corn with baby corn. Drizzle the vegetable medley with a herbed butter.
