SOFTENED BUTTER WITH OLIVE OIL
We use this in place of those expensive butters. I like that it softens up so quickly, and that it contains olive oil. I usually double this recipe to make a large tub. Remove from refrigerator for a few minutes prior to buttering toast or for anything really soft. You can add honey to this to make a really nice honey butter....

SOFT SPREAD BUTTER
This is a homemade margarine or soft spread 'butter'. While it is not lower in calorie, it has a higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fat than butter, and unlike margarine, it contains no trans fat. Create a flavored butter by adding garlic or cinnamon, or anything you chose!

Steps:
- In a lidded, plastic storage container stir butter until it has a smooth, frosting-like consistency.
- Slowly, one tablespoon at a time, stir in the first 1/2 cup of oil; mix until smooth. Stir in the remaining oil a little more quickly, mixing well.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set.
- Store in refrigerator. If the 'butter' melts after being left out, refrigerate to restore solidified quality.
