The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Butter Glazed Carrots

16 oz frozen baby carrots
3 TB butter
3 TB sugar
3 TB water

Cook carrots according to package directions.  (Boil app. 20 mins) Drain.  Mix remaining ingredients.  Pour over carrots.  Stir until well coated.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Such a simple way to dress up a side dish.  I can't remember where this recipe came from but I remember making these frequently in Germany.  Mommy didn't really know how to cook when I got married and it was so cheap to eat out in Turkey that I didn't do a lot of cooking the first two years of marriage.  When we moved to Germany I really started working on my cooking skills.  It was very expensive to eat out there!  :)  I had many friends from Eifel Baptist Church who were very encouraging and I got a subscriptions to Quick Cooking and Taste of Home magazines.  I realized that cooking was fun, it didn't have to be hard, and it was a great way to serve my family.  I am so glad Hannah has a much better handle on this even now!  
Love Always,
Mommy
