When it comes to Christmas dinner there’s a lot of variation. I mean, when else would we start planning a meal several months ahead of the actual eating time?!

Yes, when it comes to Christmas dinner there are questions aplenty…but one food often missing out on air time is carrots.
Enough is enough we say.
It’s time for these honey roasted carrots to be the talk of the town!
