This recipe was addapted from Martha Stewart's "Living;" Thanksgiving, simple and sensational magazine. I didn't use as many carrots as in the recipe and I used normal Idaho potatoes not the baby ones. It did turn out so good and delicious; it felt like I didn't make it. LOL It is a healthy meal with less then 500 calories per serving and it serves 4 people. :P
