Make a pretty addition to any meal in simple steps that use ingredients already in your kitchen.
Welcome to the Century Farmhouse Kitchen!
Grab a cup of tea, put your feet up, and get a glimpse of the kitchen in our pretty farmhouse!
All that staying at home is giving us time to rethink family routines and to explore more creative ways to make closer family life more special - at least it is at our house. With springtime holidays approaching and everyday dinners in need of a boost or two, why not craft a simple addition to mealtimes and make flavored butters that can be used both on that biscuit or toast and in dishes such as roasted or fried vegetables and meats? Or maybe to fry your breakfast eggs? Watch the video below for some ideas to get you started, then dig through the fridge and the cupboards and maybe even your emerging gardens for flavors to add to your own table.
Share your ideas in the comments section below to inspire others to try it too!
Just a quick shout-out to the small, creative businesses that craft the beautiful pottery I used in this video tutorial. I am not paid in any way for saying this, but I LOVE the pottery created by TG Green Cornishware
of England, and by Heather Lane Pottery
of Ada, MI. -Ann Marie
