Carrot Ginger Casserole

Carrot_Ginger_Casserole_8As the chilly weather rolls in so do the warm and hearty foods. For me, nothing is quite as comforting as a casserole. I love the classics like green bean and sweet potato but this year I wanted to try something new. This Carrot and Ginger Casserole is warm and fluffy and is bursting with the flavors of fall. It’s a little sweet and is the perfect complement to your favorite holiday meal – or really any meal!
