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!

Easier than Apple Pie

As much as I love pie, I cannot make a pie crust to save my life.  I have tried and tried and tried, and have accepted I am just not destined to be pie baker.  So, I decided to come up with my version of an apple pie, and it's easy... easier than pie! how deLISH does this look! Easier than Apple Pie  Remember the Bunny Food  recipe that used carrot cake cake mix?  Well, since I had left overs of the mix, I decided to use it in this.  If you don't have or want to use a cake mix, just add an additional 1/2 c. of sugar and 1/2 c. of flour. Ingredients: 6 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I used Gala and McIntosh apples) 1 c. carrot cake cake mix 2 c. flour 1 c. brown sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 stick of melted butter 3 eggs 1 1/2 c. milk 1 Tbsp. Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Chinese Five Spice I have this lovely apple corer/peeler.  This amazing tool makes dealing with peeling and coring apples SO much easier. ...
