Whether making this yummy side dish for a fall meal or taking it to Thanksgiving dinner, it’s sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face. These Kahlua-glazed carrots will compliment whatever dish you’re serving.
The recipe originally calls for crumbled bacon atop, but you you can do without or try turkey bacon (without the sugar in it). I’m really enjoying Godshall’s Uncured Turkey Bacon.
If you cannot have dairy, you can use vegan butter.
Here’s to enjoying a delicious side dish, and here’s to overcoming alpha-gal because we are more than conquerors in Christ and He is our healer!
