Rosemary and Thyme Creamy Carrots

I'm so looking forward to the holidays!

I'm a Georgia girl living in Texas, and because of my work schedule I rarely get to be with my Georgia family on Thanksgiving, but lucky for me I have a brother who lives in the area, and his house is where everyone gathers.

We all bring a side dish, I haven't yet confirmed my side, but this carrot side might just be the one.

Such a simple and easy recipe, but the flavor is far from simple. The rosemary and thyme add complexity to the smooth and creamy texture.

The aroma, oh my the aroma that fill the house, takes me back to my childhood days in Georgia.  My mother used herbs during the holidays more than any other time of the year, so now when I smell rosemary, thyme and sage it takes me back to childhood holidays.

When guest see this dish they may think sweet potatoes, so give them fair warning before their first bite.

If you're making this dish for a large group, it can easily be doubled, as well as made ahead a day or two.

Happy Holiday Cooking!
