Paula Deen does crank out some good dishes, like these carrots au gratin. She has a lot of critics, but I’m not one of them. When I do watch cooking shows, I watch for the food. I try to ignore the fluff.
A Great Holiday Side Dish
These carrots au gratin came out fantastic. It’s a nice twist on the traditional potatoes au gratin. I think we’ll put this on our to-make list for this year’s Thanksgiving.
Also try my fried carrots strips with Cajun mayonnaise dipping sauce.
