http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buttery-Cooked-Carrots/Detail.aspx?prop31=8

These were simple and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

* 1 pound baby carrots (I used regular carrots)
* 1/4 cup margarine
* 1/3 cup brown sugar


DIRECTIONS

1. Cook carrots in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain off most of the liquid, leaving bottom of pan covered with water (I drained off all of the water). Set the carrots aside.
2. Stir margarine and brown sugar into the water. Simmer and stir until the margarine melts. Return carrots to the pot, and toss to coat. Cover, and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to mingle.

Vegetable Beef Soup

1 lb. gr. beef
1 lb bag of mixed frozen veggies with tomatoes
1 med. onion diced
1 can tomato paste
Beef stock- optional (I made my own beef stock from beef bones and then froze in ice cube trays, so I add about 3-4 cubes)
Salt & pepper to taste
water

In large stock pot brown ground beef with onion. Add tomato paste and water (I use 5-6 cans of water- from the tomato paste can)
Bring to a boil and add veggies. Cook until at least warm through, or you can leave it on low heat for several hours.

Serve with warm rolls.
