Have not tried this yet. but have given up butter for a long time now.. Miss it a lot, so may try this, as a little olive oil is good for you. maybe even for some things a little olive oil, apple cider vinegar with spices, garlic powder (not garlic salt) .....sweet basil is my favorite spice.. can make some things taste better as well. ~M
