Shea butter is a thick, moisturizing butter extracted from the pit of the fruit from the karite tree (Butyrospermum parkii) found in West and Central Africa. Similar to cocoa butter in consistency, shea butter is a wonderful emollient that can be used straight on the skin to help heal cracked and damaged skin. Shea butter has been traditionally used by African natives to heal small wounds, burns and skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer for the skin and hair. They even cook with it.

First the raw, shelled peanut is roasted and cooled, then the skins are blanched. The blanched peanut kernels are electronically sorted or hand picked to be sure only good, wholesome kernels are used in peanut butter. The peanuts are ground, usually through two grinding stages, to produce a smooth, even-textured butter. The peanuts are heated during the grinding to about 170 degrees. Once the emulsifiers are added and mixed, the butter is cooled rapidly to 120 degrees or below.

Many families have allergy issues or simple dislikes. Please feel free to substitute whatever you wish. A good site for substitutions is Foodsubs.com.

You can substitute honey for equal amounts of sugar in many liquid recipes. In baked goods, substitute honey for up to half the amount of sugar and make the following adjustments. Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used. Add 1/2 tsp. baking soda for each cup of honey used, because honey is heavier than sugar and therefore the recipe needs extra levitation help. Reduce oven temperature by 25F (because honey will brown baking goods more than sugar).

You can purchase a low carb potato mix. The best thing to do is replace potatoes with turnips, cauliflower, or squash. Because turnips do not have a strong taste of their own and have almost the same texture and consistency, they tend to pick up the flavor of whatever they are cooked with. Make Turnip Salad (previously Potato Salad), fry them as fries, or au graten style. They are also wonderful in soups and stews.

It is easy to make your own butter from the cream, using appliances you probably already have in your kitchen. Note that you can make your butter either from the sweet or the cultured cream. See which flavor you and your family prefer!

Indeed, there are some directions for 'canning' butter in circulation on the Internet.

Technically, it is browned butter. Locally we say brown butter. You put butter on the stove to melt it, but leave it on medium heat for a few minutes until the solids fall to the bottom of the pan. The butter foams up a bit as the moisture evaporates and the solids turn brown. This process intensifies the butter flavor giving it a richer, nutty undertone. We brown our butter for our noodles, potatoes and vegetables.

Like olive oil, mayonnaise, butter and vaseline are smothering agents. However, unlike olive oil, these substances are difficult to get out of the hair, particularly in the case of vaseline. Children are often repelled by the smell of butter and mayonnaise and both these substances can turn rancid, and cause problems if children suck on their hair. Olive Oil is the best smothering agent. It has been lab-tested and found to be effective in killing head lice.
