I like olive oil for butter since butter is so unhealthy and vegetable ol is delicious and a healthy oil. Thanks for the suggestion!

I would try any of these suggestions but tofu for meat. I do not like the texture, it blends in the flavor I put it in but thattexture gets to me.My mom will not even try it!

It is very good to replace white rice with brown rice.
