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!

Banana Lavender Raspberry Beer Bread

Banana's... So great for you, but they change so quickly into mush, making it difficult to eat them by themselves. In walks good ol' banana bread! I had posted my Buttermilk Banana-Zucchini Bread before, but I wanted to try something different. Wasn't digging the idea of something super sweet, so I opted for a spin on a general beer bread. I don't usually have beer around, but today, I had a couple 12 oz. cans of Rübæus Raspberry Ale from a local brewery called Founder's located here in Detroit. This is a beautiful, fruity ale that has become a local favorite of mine, and who doesn't like to support local businesses, right? This makes 2- 9"x5" loaves. Here are the items you'll need to gather: 5 Mashed Bananas 6 cups of Flour 2 TBS Baking Powder 2 tsp Salt 1 TBS Cinnamon 2 TBS Dried Lavender Blossoms 1 TBS Vanilla Extract 2-12oz cans of Rübæus Raspberry Ale 12 TBS Melted Butter 4 Sprigs of Dried Lavender (optional) You'll want to pr...
