Honey and Vanilla Glazed Carrots

One of the things I need to work on is putting together a whole meal, as opposed to just cooking a main course. Last week, I made Tyler Florence's Pork Chops and thought this would be a perfect time to start pairing up side dishes. I thought the carrots would go great with the apples and raisins already present in the pork chop recipe.

Review

I didn't have very high hopes for these, to be honest. I got this cookbook for Christmas, and as I was looking through it, I really thought it was just a clever advertising technique. They ended up coming out really good. The glaze on the carrots complimented the pork perfectly.
