Nancy O'Brion NOTE: Food Exchange per serving: 1 VEGETABLE EXCHANGE + 1 FAT EXCHANGE (Nancy O'S note: 1/2 Cup of butter I sure would use margarine and would, for sure, cut back on it even though I switched to margarine MAKE IT WORK. I find it is really important to fix them veggies that are taste for the diet.....) NANCY C'S NOTE: Yes, the recipe DOES call for 1/2 cup butter. This seems excessive to me so I'll probably just use a tablespoon or two. (Sorry Nancy C. not me!!! It will be 1 to 2 tablespoon margarine for me) SOURCE: Southern Living Magazine, sometime in 1973.
