I love everything about Texas Roadhouse: the food, the free peanuts, and especially the rolls and honey cinnamon butter! I always ask for extra to take home, but let me tell you it is never enough. I never would’ve imagined how simple it is to make Texas Roadhouse butter at home, but it really is so easy– just salted butter, honey, and a little ground cinnamon. I’ll never be in danger of running out of all that buttery goodness again!

The last time I brought home rolls and butter from Texas Roadhouse , it mysteriously disappeared after I went to bed. That’s when I knew we had a problem, so I got right to work. This Texas Roadhouse butter recipe received nods of approval from my whole family, and it’s so easy to make that even my kids like to join in on the fun!
What’s in This Texas Roadhouse Butter Recipe?
- Butter: Salted butter is the key to a rich and flavorful spread. I love to use European-style butter because it has a higher butterfat content and whips up beautifully. The salt helps to bring out the natural flavor of the butter and enhances the sweetness of the honey.
- Honey: A natural wildflower honey works beautifully. If you have access to some local honey, even better.
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds a bit of warming spice that rounds out the spread.

Tips for Success
- Leave the butter out at room temperature for at least an hour. I do not recommend microwaving the butter to bring it to room temperature more quickly, as that can mess up the consistency.
- I prefer to use runny honey so that it incorporates evenly. You can briefly microwave the honey to get it to a drizzling consistency.
How to Store
Store leftover Texas Roadhouse honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also wrap it tightly in parchment paper and place it in a Ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.

Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
