But the Blue Bonnet Light is also low fat for my husband's new diet and is also the only dairy-free version I know of out on the market these days, which is great if he has to go that route more extensively too. As far as using butter vs. margarine for spreading on my muffins, I've never loved bread & muffins definitely fit that category. So I rarely use butter or margarine for spreading on bread items anyway. Hadn't really thought of that, more just for cooking IN things. Good thoughts all!! And I love to see how being raised on a certain product influences us so greatly!!christiancarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410067255814669465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470736864258096050.post-32862615113770714002011-02-06T15:21:10.285-06:002011-02-06T15:21:10.285-06:00I'm a butter nazi.

I was raised in a "butter family" and truly do not care for the flavor of straight margarine or the actual thought of spreading oil on my muffin. (I know that's a weird image but I genuinely think of it that way.) However, I know all kinds of people who swear by margarine. I think it's really just a preference.Aannastlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833393252830242803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470736864258096050.post-50784788115987222602011-02-06T14:35:20.200-06:002011-02-06T14:35:20.200-06:00For margarine sticks I only use HyVee's blue b...For margarine sticks I only use HyVee's blue box margarine, and can't use anything else! Is there a reason you prefer Blue Bonnet? Just curious! I love your posts, always so interesting :)Sallingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560616187090790177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470736864258096050.post-78151160616501600752011-02-02T13:15:25.874-06:002011-02-02T13:15:25.874-06:00I am a butter lover.

I grew up on margarine but a few years ago read an article on how butter, in moderation, is better for you and even though I'm not a health nut, I decided I liked butter better anyway. Now I can't eat anything else!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293649906736053336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470736864258096050.post-92184552908097468442011-02-02T12:02:08.073-06:002011-02-02T12:02:08.073-06:00It's been awhile, but I have used the Smart Ba...It's been awhile, but I have used the Smart Balance spread before.

The soft spread is supposedly almost vegan and the sticks are a butter/Smart Balance blend.kayder1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163830032652646010noreply@blogger.com
