We’re happy to have been margarine family even before we began our trial with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I can’t remember a day growing up where we didn’t have a tub of Country Crock in our refrigerator and I’ve just grown accustomed to the taste over the years. Since we were already Country Crock fans, we decided that we’d give I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter a try. The benefits of both are quite similar and I knew that they would also have a similar taste as well, but we were really impressed with the variety of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
When baking cookies, we loved that we could just pull out a stick of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and measure it out just as you would a stick of butter. And the spray works wonders on a cob of corn, let me tell you! The tub is perfect for everyday use for our morning slice of toast, adding a dollop to veggies, or even for a baked potato with dinner. I love the convenience, the taste, and that the added olive oil in the kind we bought added even more omega-3 fatty acids to our diet.
Before writing about I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, I had no idea that there was even a butter vs. margarine controversy. I was shocked by some of the negative things that were said against margarine and even had to delete a comment off of my blog for the very first time. All that to say, I feel the need to “speak my peace” a little bit on this topic. You can choose to disagree, but we all have the right to our own opinion.
–Did you know: There’s 100 calories per tablespoon in regular butter?
–Did you know: One serving of regular butter has up to 11 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat (that’s the kind of fat that clogs our arteries).
–Did you know: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter contains NO trans fats?
–Did you know: Spreadable margarine is much better for your heart!
–Did you know: Cooking with margarine is so similar to cooking with butter, you may not even notice a difference!
I hope that helps explain our choice, if even just a little bit.

It works wonderfully, especially when using the sticks! I was pleasantly surprised!
Okay, I never knew I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter came in sticks! I will looking for them at my store next time I go and give it a try in my baking. Thanks for the great info Chelsea. Oh, and, now I want me some buttered toast!! LOL!
The sticks are fabulous for baking. And since they come in a 4-pack it’s perfect for baking those larger batches of cookies as well!
I thought I had something thoughtful to say but now I”m just hungry for some buttered – eh – margarined? – toast!
I still plan on making your grilled salmon too! Yum!
The salmon is AMAZING! But I might be bias 😉 You’ll have to let me know how you guys like it. It’s so simple and so delicious!
I had no idea it came in a spray! That really is perfect for corn on the cob! Guess what JUST got added to my grocery list for today LOL
Isn’t that brilliant? It’s so convenient! Let me know what you think of it 🙂
I CRAVED toast with butter when I was pregnant with my first. I probably should’ve used margarine. I gained like 12 pounds the last three weeks haha!!
So funny! I did too! Toast & oatmeal for breakfast every morning was my “cure” for my morning sickness. I used margarine though and I still managed to gain 50+ pounds when I was pregnant with Alea. Oops!
I’ve always found that margarine works just as well when baking except for one thing…Rice Krispies. When I use margarine they never set up the same way!

I also did not know that it came in sticks.. I didn’t even think of using the spray on corn on the cob.. Yum!
I’ve used it to cook for years! Didn’t even think twice about it
Totally trying this out when I current stuff runs out. It looks so much more easy to spread than the current stuff I use and I love that you can bake with it!
Totally off topic here….but are those square fiestaware plates??
I had no idea it was so controversial either! HAHA!
And I really need to get some of that spray!! It could be SO handy to have around!
Who knew butter could so controversial…crazy!!
I LOVE the spray, and a fun tip, when it’s about halfway gone.. I add some spices or hot sauce to spruce things up a bit! Love it!
I love Smart Balance. Haven’t had I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter in a while.
I LOVE this stuff!
