Can we please stop everything for a minute and have a serious conversation about butter? You know, that creamy, amazing deliciousness that you can spread on just about everything under the sun? That’s the one. We love butter – but we also love sprucing it up sometimes. It’s a lot of fun when you start adding other tasty ingredients to make something new and exciting.
It’s really easy to do, and with a few fun tips and recipes like these, you can’t go wrong:
