Thanks for the post!


You're very welcome :) I know most of it is already known, but I frequently keep forgetting about the flavored butters and how much they can add to a dish or appearance. Thought this may be a nice reminder for those like me who don't take advantage of these delicious simple twists often enough!


I do a lot of these sort of things. You are right they just seems to perk up the bread for a meal!!!
