Better Butter: Let a stick of butter soften at room temperature. Mix with
equivalent amount of canola oil. Blend until smooth refrigerate. Ba da bing.
All set. Because of the oil, this mixture will soften MORE quickly than pure
butter at room temp, so it can become hard to handle if you're trying to
move some from the container to a frying pan, for instance. So, keep
refrigerated.

I use Molly Mc Butter sometimes. Use a tiny bit of butter for mouth
feel and sprinkle Molly on. Great to use on veggies. Not as good as
butter, but it is the best of the substitutes.

You're not doing this to lose weight, I hope... you're trying to weigh
like 500 pounds before you die in about a year, right?

You have a severe eating disorder, get psychological counseling, STAT!

Sheldon, you already know the "low carbing" thing means eating more protein,
less or no carbs, i.e. meat, fat, legumes, beans and certain vegetables.
(definitely not corn or peas, which are very carby). Absolutely no pasta,
no bread, no potatoes, etc. There's no need to yell at rosie for asking
about a better way to use less butter. I firmly believe in using real
butter but not TONS of it

A suggestion was given to use lard but then lard really only works (IMHO) if
you're frying something. It sure doesn't taste good on vegetables!

I'm not sure what rosie is using all that butter for. If she wants to pan
fry or bake something like a piece of fish I'd recommend canola oil or olive
oil (depends on the item being cooked). If the butter taste is essential
you can find 0 carb butter blended with oil but then you have to read the
labels... otherwise you get into the whole hydrogenated and trans fat
debate. Will it never end?? LOL

D and use a lot of olive oil in our cooking. The flavor's not the
same of course, but we work around it with other things like big
herbal and spice flavors. Also, I've taken to making my own demiglace
the past couple of years. Demiglace in a sauce or another much
reduced stock will offer a rich mouth feel with considerably less fat
or even almost no fat at all.

I've found Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread to be a good
substitute.

You can usually get away with using less...but if you want a healthier alternative,
try Smart Balance. You can use it exactly as you do butter, and they also have
shortening without trans fats as well.

Has anyone tried that new "Enova" oil?

It can also give you the shits. Use caution if you try it.

I think you're confusing this with something else. My mom uses it for everything
you'd use butter for without any problems. I use it quite often myself and have never
had a problem. Perhaps you're thinking of Enova or that other oil substitute?
