Herb Butter
This compound herb butter is a flavorful mixture of butter and a combination of herbs. It’s one of my favorite recipes that takes anything from a standard steak recipe to the likes of green beans or potatoes to the next level.
You can use any kind of butter that you like from the regular stick of butter in your fridge to a European-style butter from the store or a specialty shop.
Likewise, you can customize the herbs — anything from fresh parsley or fresh basil to fresh rosemary and fresh thyme work well (you can see I’m a bit of a fan of using fresh herbs, but you can use dried, too, if necessary).

So when I met the hubs we ate a lot of what he calls bachelor food. But I knew we couldn’t live on that forever.

Do you ever have a recipe that happens out of improvising? One day I had the hubs pull out some meat from the garage fridge for dinner.
He pulled out a package that we thought was a roast – but it was still in the bag & he didn’t verify first. I came downstairs to get it going & realized that it was stew meat, not a roast that he pulled out.
With a quick change of plans, I still tossed it in the cooker & created this Slow Cooker BBQ Beef that was absolutely scrumptious.
