You can get it at most grocery stores, not just the specialty ones. The specialty grocers tend to carry the non-GMO version if you're into that. I've also seen it at Trader Joe's. Earth Balance is so delicious, it made me want to eat toast on a regular basis. (The toast acting as a simple conduit for the EB.) I suppose you could make the recipe using olive oil, but you might want to try a dab of corn oil mixed with canola or corn oil on its own. The corn oil will have a more buttery flavor and I think "buttery" works well with this recipe. Definitely experiment, because olive oil rocks almost anything right out of the universe. I've never tried making my Maque Choux with oil. I've always used EB (or butter in pregan days). Earth Balance is a butter substitute that tastes surprisingly … just like butter.

I know vegans are going to recognize your lingo, but I know you won't be mad at me for asking. Can I get it at WF in the dairy section? If it is something you use in place of butter, then could I just make this recipe by starting with olive oil? If it's not, I'm real curious about the times you choose to use it, say if you're going for a certain flavor or consistency. Thank you, Scrumpdillady! (I don't know if that nickname is going to work: reminds me of "epilady.") Forgive my ignorance: is Earth Balance a butter substitute?
