Homemade Dill Butter

This weekend, I was so excited to hang out with my tiny munchkin-girl. I wanted to take her to the local Easter Egg Hunt. Well, at the last minute, I found out we had to pre-register and have tickets, blah, blah, blah... We weren't going. I was super bummed out, and I didn't want to let my sweet little one down. So, I came up with a few ideas to celebrate our easter.

Munchkin's Dill Butter

Munchkin's Easter Dill Butter

I had some heavy whipping cream, and decided that we would shake our way to some yummy homemade butter! She seemed totally thrilled with the idea, and we chose to flavor our butter with freshly dried Dill from the herb garden last year.

She was so excited!

I poured a half a jar of cream, and a pinch of salt. I poured about 3/4 cups of cream in a larger container with about 1/4 tsp of salt for this mama to shake as well!

She added her own Dill

She had a blast shaking her cream into butter!

Mama's fresh butter- she had to have a taste!

I think she approves! She wanted more and more!

This morning, I took the Broiled Grapefruit Slices from yesterday that we didn't eat, removed the rind, and tossed them in a bowl, crumbing Danish Blue Cheese over them. Literally- O.M.G. SO.GOOD. Iheartgrapefruit.
