This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Unilever.
A year ago, I would have given you the side eye if you suggested I #cookwithspreads. It was a preposterous notion in my mind. However, when my daughter was visiting for Christmas we decided to try using Country Crock to create a Cinnamon Roll Sauce, and we had the most delicious results evah!
Since then, I’ve been experimenting like crazy. I use Country Crock and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I don’t prefer one over the other; I buy whichever is on sale at Walmart.
They both have 70% less saturated fat than butter and 30% fewer calories, so I feel like I’m making a good nutritional choice in using it. Actually, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter soft spreads have no cholesterol or hydrogenated oils either, so that means 0 grams of trans fats!
Plus, I like the fresh butter taste, so I’m not compromising when I use these in place of real butter in my cooking.
Recently, I was playing around with some I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread, and ended up making yet another taste sensation. I’ll share the recipe with you in a later post, but…. I melted the butter spread, added some seasoning, and then used it to create a wonderfully savory appetizer/lunch.
So yummy! (Stay tuned for the recipe.)
Cooking your favorite recipes using Unilever buttery spreads is a deliciously smart move. With 0g trans fats per serving, less saturated fat and fewer calories than butter, cholesterol-free spreads are a better option.

I’ve been cooking with spreads for a while now. One major benefit is that you can mix in your seasonings and spread the seasoned spread onto your food (meat, vegetables, etc.) where it actually STAYS until you start to cook, and by then it’s already starting to cook onto the food. Melting butter and adding seasoning is messy and so much of the product just drips off the food.
