I was craving a nice juicy steak the other day, but I wanted to make a simple side for my steak that would pop in color and taste. These organic rainbow carrots caught my eye at Krogers when I was passing by the organic vegetable section. I prefer to use organic produce; however, if you want, you can easily use the regular produce in your recipe, and it’s still going to turn out awesome in the long run.
