Substitute Water for Butter

A few years ago, a dieting buddy of mine, told me one of her cooking secrets. When preparing a recipe that calls for margarine or butter, instead of using one of those products, she used an equal amount of water rather than just omitting it altogether. She said the product would turn out the same as it would have with the margarine/butter, but with less fat and so much better for you. No one would miss the extra sheen or fat the margarine or butter would have provided. She was right! So you can make your own fat free products at home!!

This is a great idea. I thank you for sharing it. We all need to use less fat, at least the margarine/butter.
