1 tsp Salt
8-12 small potatoes (cut in halves)
8 carrots (peeled, washed, and cubed)

Yum! This reminds me a lot of the Gwenyth Paltrow chicken with lemons and olives – sooooooo TASTY it almost feels wrong. But it’s not!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This sounds great!
I just made this for dinner. It was so delicious my husband and I were eating it out of the pot with our fingers.
Awesome, so great to hear!! I am going to give it a try this weekend!
