If you need a recipe to impress but don’t have a lot of time, this 4 ingredient hot honey butter is a great place to start!  Compound butters sound like they would be complicated, but we promise, this recipe couldn’t be easier.

This butter is a compound butter – simply, a flavored butter.  Flavored butter is such a simple luxury that is so easy to make, yet manages to amplify anything you eat!  In fact, see how you can make a simple herb butter here.

This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping combo that combines best of both worlds: meatballs and tangy Caesar dressing 🤩
TIP: I used Costco frozen meatballs which have a little heat to them. If your meatballs are on the plainer side, I’d recommend adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes!
