Actually butter isn’t bad…the problem is many times we use too much of it. The appropriate serving size for butter is about the size of your thumbnail. You can also try SmartBalance, which has olive oil in it. Even with that, you still want to watch the portion size. You can also try all-fruit spread on toast. As for vegetables, I like using ButterBuds. I sprinkle it on hot vegetables or corn on the cob and it gives a buttery taste without the calories.
