Butter and Margarine Substitute

I was told somewhere, that if you but olive oil in the fridge or freezer that it will harden, and can be used as a substitute to real butter and margarine.

I decided to try this.

I poured a cup on oil into a bowl and put it in the fridge. It took several days to harden, but it eventually did. I use this all the time now. I have put it in the freezer when I wanted a batch made sooner, but then it still needed time to thaw.

I've used it on bread, and in hot vegetables. When baking, I just use straight olive oil instead of margarine, and it has worked every time so far.

Olive oil is high in antioxidants, vitamins K and E. It has been shown to lowers the bad cholesterol, without reducing the good cholesterol, reduce risks of heart diseases, improve circulation, prevent breast cancer and osteoporosis.

With all these great benefits, why would I use anything else??

The Best 5 Ways to Cook Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash is a great way to feel like your eating a pasta dish.

When cooked, a fork can easily poke through the skin, and the flesh will easily separate into long strands with a fork. The average 4 pound squash will give you about five cups of flesh. Use the "spaghetti" right away, or place in freezer bags in the freezer for use at another meal.

These best five ways to cook spaghetti squash are in the order of cooking time. If you have all day, set the crock pot on, or if you like that fresh baked smell to fill the house, bake it in the oven. If you just want to get it done and start eating as fast as you can, I would suggest the microwave. Try out all the different ways and see what you like best!

#1 - In the Crock Pot - Pick a squash that can fit in your crock pot whole. Pole holes through the shell with a fork, and place in the crock pot. Add a couple of cups of water, and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until fork pokes through skin easily.

#2 - In the Oven, Whole - Poke holes in the skin several times with a fork. Place the entire squash in the oven. Cook at 375F for about 1 hour, or until soft.

#3 - Boil in a Pot - Find a pot big enough to hold your squash. Fill with enough water to cover the whole squash and set to boil. When the water is boiling, add the squash and cook 20-30 minutes until fork pokes through skin easily.
#4 - In the Oven, Halved - Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Place open sides down onto a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook at 375F for 20-30 minutes or until skin is easily poked with a fork.

#5 - Microwave in a Dish - Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Place squash in a microwaveable dish with the open side up. Add a few cups of water, and cover with saran wrap. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes covered, then test to see if it is done, and cook longer if needed.


I found that slicing the squash in half and scooping out the seeds first, before it was cooked was easier then scooping out the seeds after, and trying to sort out the flesh from the seeds when cooked together.


For the next few days I will be posting some great recipes to use Spaghetti Squash.

Don't forget to leave a comment, if you have any great ideas on how to make a spaghetti squash into a delicious meal.
