Oh he11 no. I will never give up my butter!!! I'm glad your happy about it though. Butter, ladies it is like grease...and bad for the heart. Have some peanut butter in the morning if you are famished...maybe not. Now, I don't want to be like Apple, the food Nazi. Slice an Apple into eight pieces and spread some jam on it and a slice of toast. Give up your butter. LOL What am I going to slather onto my baked potato?!? Peanut butter & jam will not cut it.

Butter isn't any worse for for the heart than other foods - or even alcohol - when consumed in moderation.
There are certain recipes (and foods) that just wouldn't work or taste good if you substituted butter with something else. Baking for example - or as lexxy703 mentioned, a baked potato. If you put margarine on a baked potato, it's oily.
When I prepare certain foods or sauces, butter is a must.
If I'm doing lobster tails or king crab legs for example, I melt real butter and add fresh garlic to make garlic butter for dipping the meat into. Melted margarine just wouldn't cut it.

Margarine has never crossed the threshold of my house. It's not like I eat a stick of butter every day but if whatever I'm eating needs butter it is getting butter.

Olive oil and a sprinkling of Kosher salt on the asparagus? Roasted asparagus is delicious and sweet. Yeah I think I overcooked it, in a 425 degree oven for 8 minutes. My oven is screwy, so tonight I'll try 400 degrees for 8 minutes and see how I do. It's all a learning process yanno. I roast asparagus in the oven at 400 for about 25 minutes and it comes out great. The idea is to get all the moisture out of it (hence the sprinkled Kosher salt) and what is left is the sugar. The spears do get smaller and they should be a bit crisp and sweet.

I used this recipe for bread pudding. I did substitute melted Earth Balance Coconut Spread for the melted butter. glutenfreecooking.about.com/od/dessertsandsweets/r/gfbreadpudding.htmI did 2 pans of it. One GF and one reg. but no one cared that it was dairy free. I also substituted frozen peaches for the apples because I wasn't peeling and slicing apples on top of cubing bread. Oh and I added more bread because it seems to have too much liquid otherwise. It was really yummy though. I'll be making it again for our house and probably for Christmas breakfast, the next time we host it.

Unsalted, of course ..........
On a baked potato use unsalted butter and a little of Mrs Dash house blend or fresh ground pepper ....... Yummy
