This sounds amazing and I can't wait to try it. Now I'm kicking myself for getting rid of the mini food processor I never used. I do enjoy Earth Balance but I don’t enjoy the cost of it.

This is perfect. I think too nice (for me) to use to bake with as coconut oil is so very expensive, but I've just had this on fresh home made bagels, and its wonderful :) Oh my, I’ve just made this and it’s lovely :)

I bet my son would get a kick out of making his own "butter". I had an online friend that swore by a homemade millet based "butter" that she made. I lost touch and don't have her recipe.

I love my coconut flavored coconut oil, do you think that would work too, just give a coconut flavor? Or will it do something weird? Mm…where you do you find unrefined coconut oil?

But I guess that Earth Balance has soy, too. What do you use instead? Amanda, I tried it in Marzipan-Topped Shortbread cookies, with good results! It's not great for sauteeing, though, as the soy part will brown on the bottom of the pan. :( Jes, A little dangerous when freshly blended and stir soft and creamy. . . I ate more bread after making it than I had in maybe 2 months!! (well, I don't usually eat ANY bread, but you know what I mean. . . ). shellyfish, Yes, I've heard that about CCCookies! Tarte tatin? Who knew?! Johanna, I'll post the original recipe in a day or two. . . more cookies! :) Georgia, Can't wait to hear! ttfn300, Thanks so much! Craziness is beginning to subside already. . . Liz, Thanks so much! But I still think a hobby would be nice! Cookbook maven, Thanks so much for your comment, and for reading! Hope this helps with the budget somewhat :) River, Thanks for the blush-inducing compliment :). And Elsie is right back at it--yay! Bethany, Thanks so much for your comment! Yep, it sure hit the spot for a buttery spread, I have to admit. (perhaps a bit too much. . .). Celine, I've been thinking the same thing--will email! Sammy, Glad it tasted good, anyway! The trick to clean-cut squares is to refrigerate it first :) Meghan, I'm the same way. (Except the quotes here are around "My Life in Balance" and not the "Buttery"--many fewer unnatural ingredients that way! (though you're right, no actual butter in this one). ;) VeggieGirl,

I will definitely have to give this one a try even though I do my best to avoid food that comes in quotes- you know like 'buttery' spread that has no butter or 'meat' balls that has no meat.

I could certainly use a cheaper alternative, considering how much of it I tend to slather on to toast. ;) Brilliant!
