  1. I make this all the time. I used to think if the butter went to far, it was burnt. Come to find out browning the butter (until you see little brown flecks appear) gives it almost a rich and nutty taste. Very good! Add some toasted pine nuts and you are living large! Thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
