This butter keeper is so cute, I’m dying to have one, but I’m going to give one away to one of you instead! It’s a little ceramic pot that keeps butter soft and spreadable at room temperature for up to 30 days. It’s a really neat trick that works by creating an airtight seal with water you put in the base. What will they think of next?

I submitted the Chewy Granola Bar recipe I made last night. My kids devour the store bought ones so I adapted the All Recipes version to make it healthier. Kids still love them!!
I just ordered a butter crock from Amazon!! I needed a good storage solution for the wonderful Amish butter I bought from the local Amish bulk food store. I can’t believe how much better that butter tastes than the regular store bought stuff!

These butter bells are great I bought mine from the local cooking store. The only down side is to remember to change the water every 3 days. The butter stays so soft their great to have.

I posted an Almond Pound Cake recipe that I found on a the self-sustained living blog. It’s great plain but I’m thinking it would be fantastic with strawberries over it!

JulieJ says:
Janie’s Broccoli Cheese Rice casserole has been posted. I have to see how many other recipes I can get posted to increase my chance of winning that butter bell! My 15 y.o. daughter will no longer eat margarine because her health teacher told her class how close margarine’s molecular composition is to plastic, so now she only wants real butter. I don’t really mind though because I like butter better anyway but it would be fantastic if it was room temperature and could be spread easily.

I have this very same butter bell and I love it. Keeps the butter perfect for spreading. Sometimes a pain to remember to keep the water changed, but well worth the effort. I’ll skip the contest since I already have one, but good luck to the rest of you posters. The lucky winner is gonna love it.

Healthy Butter Spread recipe here so there’ll be something to keep in the butter holder. Of course, if you have a butter bell I guess you don’t need to make your butter spreadable. And if you have a cow…
