Spice up your vegetable side dish with this baby carrots recipe.  Carrots are a great source of vitamins and nutrients, but sometimes eating them can get a little boring.  As a friend said, he often feels like a rabbit eating carrots all of the time!  So, switching up the seasonings and flavorings can take an old tired dish and turn it into something new and exciting.  This baby carrots recipe was provided by our very own Crew Member Noelia Ayala.  The honey ginger balsamic provides a wonderful depth of flavor to these baby carrots.
