It’s Fall (well maybe  not so much in Orange Count), so T.W.O. is trying out new recipes that will be delicious for those cozy nights at home.  In this post, we are taking one of our favorite vegetables, carrots, and spicing it up with coriander.  Coriander is the ground seed of the cilantro and is native to the regions spanning from southern Europe and northern Africa to southwestern Asia.  Who knew that?!?  Check out how to make this simple recipe…it a potential side dish for our Thanksgiving spread this year!
