What to Bring for your Holiday dinner
Three Easy Flavored Butters for Holiday Bread
These take minutes, use pantry staples, and feel special without being fussy.
1. Garlic Butter (Perfect for Pasta Dinners)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: parsley or Italian seasoning
Directions:
Mix everything until smooth. Chill slightly so it firms up, but stays spreadable.
2. Cranberry Butter (Made for Turkey)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2–3 tbsp cranberry sauce (jellied or whole berry both work)
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar, to taste
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
Stir until well blended. Chill to let the flavors settle.
3. Honey Mustard Butter (Perfect with Ham)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1–2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
Mix until smooth. Taste and adjust honey or mustard as needed.
How to Serve (Low Stress, High Payoff)
- Bake frozen rolls according to package directions
- Let butter soften slightly before serving
- Bring one butter with one pan of rolls — or all three if you’re hosting
No one will miss the homemade bread. Everyone will remember the butter.
