Pyrex Prize Recipes: spaghetti

Recipe #2 made from Pyrex Prize Recipes
Creole Spaghetti

What a miss. So sad that this recipe totally disappointed us. 
 
Pyrex measuring cups, butter dish and Pyrex prize Recipes book

It looks nothing like the book.  Time to pick another recipe to try. You can read the previous recipe review and the full review of this one at treasuresmyhh

Homemade Butter in Butterprint

Ever wanted to try making your own butter? I did and now I can say that it is so easy anyone can do it.


Just buy a pint of heavy cream, and pour it into a clean mason jar with a lid. Shake it until it becomes whipped cream. (Take some of that out and eat it with fresh strawberries- yum!) Keep shaking and eventually it will separate into a ball of yellow butter and a milky liquid- buttermilk. Drain off the buttermilk to use in your pancakes and rinse the butterball under fresh cold water until it runs clear. Mix in a tiny bit of salt or some herbs and roasted garlic if you desire. 

Eat some immediately (with homemade English Muffins) and save the rest in a 501 Fridgie (Butterprint, of course!)
