Balsamic & Garlic roasted baby carrots

I had a bag of baby carrots in my fridge and I wanted to do something different. I love roasted vegetables and I just bought a delicious balsamic vinegar so I decided to experiment. Carrots are high in vitamin A and boosts the immune system.



Recipe:

-1 bag of baby carrots 
-2 tablespoon of olive oil
-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 
-2 cloves of garlic chopped
-fresh dill
-salt and pepper to taste 




Mix carrots with everything and bake at 400 degrees for 20ish minutes or until soft. Enjoy!




Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette

I can never find a salad dressing I love, and lots of them have so many added ingredients and are not good for you (lots of fat, hydrogenated/ unhealthy oils, chemicals, and added ingredients) I was expirimenting in the kitchen when I came up with a delicious vinaigrette. The recipe is so simple, but so flavorful!


1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar 
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard 
Salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth! This recipe serves one big salad!
