I believe Laura discovered this recipe in one of Anne’s cookbooks on a trip back to Iowa. To say that Dave was skeptical the first time Anne made it for us may be an understatement. The carrots cooked for quite some time and she assured him they would be delicious, just trust her. Obviously, she was right. They are carrot pillows that melt in your mouth and you will be surprised when you eat pounds of them in one meal.
