White Wine Carrots

I absolutely love vegetables and I am constantly looking for new, healthy ways to cook them up to serve for our dinners. Sometimes I find myself making the same kinds of vegetables weekly and almost the same way every time. This was a new recipe for carrots that I have been thinking about trying. I was skeptical to try it because I just didn't think my husband would eat this at all. Boy was I wrong. We both were pleasantly surprised with this dish.
