I’m celebrating my favorite shade of yellow (butter yellow) this week and starting off with a trick that has saved my life on many occasions. It’s magic and genius and butter…what else would someone need?

Directions:
1. Fill a drinking glass or glass jar that is just bigger than a stick of butter with super hot water.
2. Wait 1 minute.
3. Pour out the water and immediately place the glass or jar over the butter.
4. Wait 2-3 minutes (just depends on how cold your butter was. NOTE: this will not work with frozen butter) before removing the glass from the butter.
5. Boom! It’s magic! Spreadable butter.

  2. Right!! It never works in the microwave! Give this a try. It doesn’t work with butter from the freezer, just from the fridge! Libbie
