This recipe is so much fun! Turning any dinner into a hand held food is always a good idea. Especially when children are involved! I precooked the carrots a bit so they would be soft enough which worked out well. If you like them with a little bite, you can skip that step! I had to be sure they were soft enough so the kids didn’t complain. You know how that goes, right?
