Potatoes. Pasta. Bread. My favorite food group ever: carbs. To balance this out, I love to make Chrissy Teigan's lettuce wraps.

I don't often follow the eating advice… Continue reading meal prep: lettuce wraps

blueberry crumble muffins
When I was a little girl, I loved baking blueberry muffins on Saturday mornings (see bottom of the post for photo proof).

meal prep: healthier, homemade granola
This is not a a health blog. I repeat. Let There Be Butter is NOT a health blog. However, I do know granola is one of those tricky foods that can be stereotyped as healthy when in reality it comes packed with sugar, additives and other surprising ingredients. So I call this "healthier" granola because… Continue reading meal prep: healthier, homemade granola
