Getting Your Good Fats In

A great way to avoid bad fats (margarines) but still have a spreadable

" butter " is to melt a two (2) sticks of butter on low heat. When melted,

remove from heat and add 1/3 cup olive oil (good fat). Stir and let

cool and then pour into containers for your healthy butter spread that

is easy to spread right from the refrigerator. If you make several

containers at a time, freeze what you won't be using.

Another good idea that would be fun is just before putting the butter spread

into containers - while still warm take and pour some into the blender and

add minced garlic and a little basil and parsley and whip in the blender -

this would make a wonderful herbed garlic spread.
