Better Eat Your Butter!

Butter

Most Americans I know have an affinity for butter. Butter really does make everything better, from cookies to whole wheat toast. But margarine has become the thorn in the foot of butter-lovers everywhere, creating a distraction from the benefits of moderate butter use. This holiday season, we must rise up against margarine and declare our homes a no-margarine zone.

The Dairy Farmers of Oregon are doing their part. They are having a Butter Recipe Contest that allows you to enter your favorite holiday butter recipe for a chance to win gift certificates for Zupan’s Markets and Park Kitchen. But here, I feel it is my responsibility to remind people not to overindulge on the butter front. If you are concerned that you are feeding your baby too much butter, you definitely are. If dipping a stick of butter in a bowl of sugar and then eating the whole stick sounds “just like Mama used to make it,” you are eating way too much of the stuff. And if you are making Breast Milk Butter on a regular basis, gross.

So enjoy the butter this holiday season, but as with anything except booze, remember to do so in moderation.
