Regardless if you think Lance Armstrong took performance enhancement drugs to help win his various bike races, you have to admire the Livestrong organization he’s built. So many health article searches point to the Livestrong site, it is often eclipsing other medical or nutrition based sites. Some things still surprise me though. The top link returned on a Google search of “salmon in butter” is the Livestrong site. While I can understand the salmon being there (it is chock full of vitamins), the “in butter” confounds me.

Any recipe with a whole stick of butter can’t be wrong!
