Happy Wednesday everybody!! Ah yes, another day, another How To Series post, and per usual, this is one that I totally assumed would be difficult to make, but come to find out, is also insanely easy to make.
First, I gotta admit, one of the things I miss the most about eating whatever I want with no regard for my health or thighs 99% of the time about eating healthy 6 days of the week is restaurant bread & butter.
I mean, let’s be real, that endless bread & butter is basically evil & wonderful all at the same time, ‘here, before you eat your dinner, gorge yourself on an endless supply of delicious carbs & fat,’ sooo basically what I’m saying is, this kind of stuff is usually a cheat day staple. Unfortunately, restaurants have this weird thing where they unfairly judge you frown upon you taking up a table to eat their free baskets of bread, but fortunately there is a solution, make your own flavored butter.
As much as I loved my Cinnamon Honey Butter I made a few months back, sometimes I just want some savory, garlicky, herby butter to spread on some toasted french bread and that’s what we have here today. OMG y’all, this was sooo easy to make, and dang delicious, also, you can totally substitute out whatever herbs or flavors you love best. I can’t recommend you make this enough y’all, too good not to. Have a wonderful day & again, thanks for stopping by.
