Liz's Easy Garlic Herb Butter

---

I enjoy going to the grocery store, buying a product that i enjoy and finding a way to make it homemade and less expensive. Sometimes being on a tight budget does not mean you have to sacrifice the quality of the food you cook. I don't cook gourmet or better all the time but sometimes simple things can really turn a simple meal into something better. You can use fresh herbs if you prefer but i just use the herbs i have handy in my herb rack. This garlic herb recipe is something i just tried one day for kicks and now i love it. I'm never buying it in a store again and hopefully you will love it too. This garlic herb butter goes wonderfully with anything. Use it with rice, meats, potatoes, and vegetables. Enjoy!!

Steps

---

Make sure that your butter is softened.

---

Not melted.

---

Put all of your ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat it until everything is mixed well and incorporated.

---

Your butter will probably be a little creamy.

---

Scrape the bowl and put your garlic butter in a container that has a lid and close the lid completely to make sure that no outside air will come inches.

---

Stick your dish in either the fridge or your freezer.

---

I like to make this butter a day in advance so all of the ingredients can hang out', you don't have to let it sit if you need to use it immediately"]".
