Thanksgiving is coming up, and the turkey usually steals the spotlight. But I've always thought that side dishes are equally important. In my house, there's no Thanksgiving without stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce or caramelized carrots. The latter are my husband's favorite; he's always asking for extra servings. And I don't blame him… they're so soft and delicious! Piloncillo really brings out the natural sweetness of carrots.
