Cinnamon Honey Butter

Friends! One of the best things I made over the Thanksgiving Holiday was Cinnamon Honey Butter. Have you ever made an infused butter? This was my first time but I can tell you it will not be my last. I have been scouring pinterest for other recipes to try! This is SO easy to make and it taste's DELICIOUS! Also this pairs so well with THIS bread recipe. 

Cinnamon Honey Butter: 

1/4 cup Powder Sugar

1/4 cup Honey

2 Sticks of Butter

1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon 

Let your Butter sit until it reaches room temperature. 

Add your Butter, Honey, Powdered Sugar, and Cinnamon to a bowl and mix until evenly combined. 

Refrigerate for 4 hours. 

Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving! 

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! 

Have the BEST day!

Wild Rice Soup

Cold Winter nights call for hot soup. As a Midwest girl when those temps start to drop I find myself making more soups and stews. One if my favorites is Chicken Wild Rice Soup. I love the how easy this is to make since its all done in the crock pot. I throw everything in before  I leave for work and when I get home it just needs a few last minute touches and its ready to go! 

Wild Rice Soup: 

3 Stalks of Celery Chopped 

1 Large Onion Chopped 

4 Carrot Sticks Chopped 

1 Cup of Wild Rice 

2 Chicken Breasts 

6 Cups of Chicken Broth 

1/2 Cup of Butter 

3/4 Cup of Flour 

2 Cups Milk 

1 Teaspoon of Dried Sage

1 Teaspoon of Thyme 

Salt and Pepper to Taste

In your Crock Pot place your chicken, wild rice, celery, carrots, onion, and herbs. Pour in your  chicken stock and cook on low for 6-8 hours or 3-4 on high. 

Once your soup is cooked remove the chicken and shred then add it back into your crock pot. 

Take your butter and melt it in a pot, once melted add in your flour and whisk together. Slowly start to add in your milk until it is thick. 

Pour your mild, butter, and flour mixture into the crock pot and stir it together. Let this cook another 30 minutes and enjoy! 

This pairs so well with this bread. 

Enjoy! 

Have the BEST day!

Christmas Wish List 2017

Hello Sweet friends, today I am sharing my Holiday wish list with you! Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I especially love giving my family and friends gift. I take everything into consideration when  I am shopping for them. What will they love? Is there anything that I can to do to make this extra special? Have they dropped any hints on what they may want? I always want to give them the best gift I can. I do know that Christmas is about SO much more than gifts, but it's fun to shop, wrap and share with others.


Today I am sharing my wish list. Some of these things are definitely dream gift and I do not expect them, but its fun to share!
