Jalapeno butter!

So it's summer and we're enjoying the summer days with bbq and dinner parties outside with great company and great food and beverages. A big hit in my home is grilled white corn cobs, but I pair it with an upgrade of just plain old butter Jalapeno butter that I make and freeze.
It works great in baked potatoes, on fish, chicken and meat, just adds that little extra to your meal.

What you need:

1 stick butter
1 fresh jalapeno
1 garlic clove
1 lime
And your food processor or mini food processor if you have one.

Deseed the jalapeno, peel the garlic clove, zest and juice the lime and put it all in the processor with the stick of butter and pulse until it's all chopped and blended together. I roll the mix into a sausage and wrap it in plastic and freeze it. Then when you decide to add some with your dinner you just cut off what you need for that meal and let it defrost before your meal.
I got this recipe from my grandmother inlaw, and since I met her 6 years ago I always make a couple of sticks each spring and summer.
An other quick tip for grilling corn, wrap them in bacon so you get the salty smoky flavors on the corn cobs and remove the bacon before you eat. Won't be a waste of bacon you can top them on  burgers or just use them with your breakfast the morning after.

I'm back.

So sorry I haven't posted anything in weeks. But with moving and a teething baby girl I've had my hands full, so doing manis and blogging hasn't really been on the top of my to-do list. We're now settled into our new home and my little bunny is finally back on a normal sleeping cycle, no more awake all night and crying.
So glad I wasn't doing any face make-up posts, LOL don't think any concealer could cover my raccoon eyes.
The other day I found 2 long white hairs on my head, not grey but WHITE so I freaked out. My husband laughed and I had to kick his butt. I have to buy  a hair coloring kit today. I don't want to wake up and find any more, I'm still to young...... Hoping it's just weeks of stress from the move that's the culprit.
I hope you all had a great 4th of July.
And my praise for the day goes to the Chinese woman who saved a 2 year old girl. The little girl fell out the window on the 10th floor and this lady on the street saw her and rushed over to catch her, she got knocked out and broke her arm saving this little girls life.
