Butter is a commodity during the holidays. You go through a lot of it in cooking favorite family dishes. I am afraid to guess how much we have used since Thanksgiving. Celebrity chef Paula Deen, who is the queen of butter would be proud of us. Sure there are substitutes but this is the one time of year where its OK to feast and indulge. The taste of butter makes things better, most recipes aren’t the same without the real stuff. The cholesterol of the average person spikes during this time of year anyway. Enjoy things in moderation. The new year is coming and you will need to make a resolution anyway. Oh yeah, get ready for the Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers commercials on the 26th of December.
