Compound butters are right up my ally – simple, easy, and delicious. Also, if you’re looking for a way to sneak some herbs into your kids breakfast, this is a lovely way to do that. I like to use a 8 oz block of Kerrygold butter. But...
I just love lilac blooms. They are perfectly elegant, colorful, and a sign that warmer weather is here to stay (well for a little while anyways). While I’ll always leave a bunch of blooms for the bees, I do enjoy cutting a few of those gorgeous blooms to bring...
