Shred one potato and one carrot. 'Fry' in a non-stick pan using no calorie butter-flavored cooking spray.  Makes several 'vegetable pancakes' for about 150 calories.

Carrot Ideas for Dinner

Place 1 bag of whole carrots into the bottom of a baking pan. Add an onion cut in half.  Add several small whole potatoes.
