    There are many reasons why I could never label myself as a paleo purist and butter is one of them. Yes, it's dairy and no, it's not Cheat Day Friday, but I cook with butter pretty often; I separate it from milk and cheese, which I do try to limit.

    Jalapeño lime butter is one of my favorite things. The jalapeño adds a subtle, light heat to the butter; its definitely more on the mild side,  though it's mighty tasty. You can top it over steak, chicken, fish, any other favorite meat, or some grilled veggies. Yum!

    You could also swap out the jalapeño for another pepper to test out different levels of heat!
