Rita,
Instead of the margarine, I use I Can't believe It's not Butter Spray. It has to be the spray, because it is no fat or calories. It is even better than real butter! I also use egg beaters in place of the egg. I have tons more, if you are looking for something specific, post it and I will see if I have it. Good luck, and I hope you are feeling better!

Sincerely, Donna
