request from someone who's always keeping an eye out for good recipes: give us ones that don't use EVIL Hydrogenated Oil? ("vegetable oil")
butter is good, m'kay?

Well, nothing I've posted calling for oil "needs" it. Butter will work quite well too.

I tend to use vegetable oil or vegetable oil - based margarine in cooking though because my stomach can't handle milk fat very well, and butter (as much as I like it), tends to lead to gastric upset later.

well, a problem arises with oil/fat substitutions -- you can't just swap veg.oil (usually hydrogenated soybean/corn/cottonseed oil) for equal amounts of butter. there's the liquid/solid factor and the heat-tolerance. theoretically you could use peanut or olive oil instead of veg.oil, but sometimes you're dealing with something that won't taste right with either of those.

have you tried coconut oil? it has a lower melting point than solid veg.oil (crisco), but better heat-tolerance (higher smoke-point) than butter.
