Brown sugar carrots

What you need:
1 small bag of baby carrots
1/2 stick of butter
2 or more tbs of brown sugar
What you do:
If you are using an oven, preheat to 350. If you are using a grill, start it up
Use tin foil to create a bowl-like container or packet
Put the carrots into the foil and add the brown sugar
Cut the butter into pads and put on top of carrots and brown sugar
Use more foil to make a top and seal by folding the edges
If you are using an oven, place the foil packet on a cookie sheet. You can skip this step for the grill.
Place the carrot packet in the oven or on the grill.
Let cook for 20 minutes then carefully check the carrots using tongs or oven mits.
Pierce them with a fork to make sure they are tender. They should not be crunchy.
Tips and tricks:
The carrots will look wrinkly after cooking.
If you don't have much time or you threw this together at the last minute, you can cut the carrots into medallions to make them cook faster.
Use more Brown Sugar for sweeter carrots.
To make this fancier, you can add a pinch of dill (the dried kind on the spice row at the grocery store) to the mix.

Worms

This is called worms because of the noodles. We used tricolor noodles but spaghetti or angel hair works best (for the name)
What you need:
1 box of Pasta (it is totally your choice what kind of pasta to use but you can't call this worms if you use rotini or bowtie)
1/2 bottle italian dressing
1 cucumber (peeled and chopped)
1-2 tomatoes chopped
Salad supreme seasoning
What you do:
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box then drain
Pour in the whole bottle of italian dressing and add some salad supreme seasoning (its really up to you how much)
Stir in the vegetables (well, tomato is a fruit) and mix well
Serve warm or chill over night and serve cold
Tips and tricks:
You can try it with onion (I would say red onion)
Use more or less veggies for more or less crunch
Salad supreme is kinda hard to find in the store (its on the spice aisle)


This is what salad supreme looks like, in case you were wondering
