Better-Than-Butter Sauce (diabetic exchanges)

[Guest guest]

Well, I don't know if it is exactly better than butter as the recipe

brags, but it is

more flavorful. It has that creamy taste and texture without all the

cholesterol

and fat. I like it over broccoli, brussels sprouts, green beans,

asparagus etc. I

haven't tried it over a baked potato yet, but I imagine it would be

good used in

that way as well.
