What If Butter Was Healthy...

That's the question my 6-year old asked as we were making her favorite meal - broccoli, chicken and rice casserole (or "hotdish" as us Minnesotans call it). Just think of it, vegetables made healthier by drenching them in butter. Bread - who cares about the carbs as long as you put a lot of butter on it.


My daughter's love of butter is not new. I found her on the kitchen counter as a two-year old eating off the butter dish with a fork. "Bunner is my favorite color," she proclaimed. It's still a favorite quote in our house.


Alas, butter is not healthy, but it sure is good. We made a few extra pans of broccoli, chicken and rice and popped them in the freezer, so stop by if you're hungry. We also have butter, if you want some.

    Yay! Welcome to blog land! And I do so wish that butter was healthy...I might actually call myself a healthy eater if that was the case. Oh, and your chicken, broccoli & rice is also one of our favorites - thanks for passing along the recipe :-)
