One thing I’ve learned over the years is that Thanksgiving is so much smoother when I can prepare a few dishes in advance—and desserts are at the top of that list. As much as I love baking, the holiday itself always feels like a whirlwind, with the turkey roasting, sides coming together, and family filling…

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays—there’s just something so cozy about gathering around the table, sharing a big meal, and laughing with the people you love most.

For me, carrots are one of those underrated sides that can really shine when given the right treatment — and these Honey Glazed Carrots are proof of that.
