Butterbeer….without….well….Beer!

I don’t know about you but whenever I want to unwind with a nice cool glass of beer my toddler runs up and asks for a sip….I don’t know if inherently kids love beer….doubt it….I think it has more to do with the fact that “mommy” is enjoying it so much

So, when I found this recipe, I thought it was something I could call beer AND enjoy with my little one…..
