Mac'n Maple

Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese with Maple Glazed Carrots was a fitting dinner on this very cold Monday the week of Thanksgiving.  The Mac and Cheese is a recipe from the American Institute for Cancer Research.  The carrot recipe is from Clean Eating Magazine.  Those are local carrots and parsley I purchased at Saturday's Farmers Market.  

I've posted the Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese recipe before.  Our servings are a little smaller than the amount listed here.

The carrots cooked magnificently in my new cast aluminum pan.
