I've been planning out our menu for the Christmas Day for a few weeks, but if you're still looking for a few side items to round out your meal (& bellies), I think today's recipe might just make your list: Honey Roasted Carrots.
It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory: drizzled with honey, sprinkled with ground coriander, baked until they are melt in your mouth good, and finally topped off with chives, thyme, and pomegranate seeds.
Can you say MMM-erry Christmas?
