My brother will tell you I can't leave well enough alone. Why make scalloped potatoes for Easter when you can make low-fat, scalloped potatoes with mushrooms? And why use Cooking Light's recipe as written, when you can doctor it up a bit? I'll tell you why: Because you risk bringing very brown and disgusting "scalloped potatoes" that everyone at the table thinks are straight mushrooms and only tastes as a courtesy before eating the boxed potatoes au gratin. I've noticed a lot of my attempts at good food made healthy feature caveats and a pained expression. Not every risk pays off.
But this one did! I have been searching for months for a whole wheat and delicious banana muffin recipe. My husband, Daniel, will tell you I have had many failures on my quest. But finally, a success! I found a good recipe on healthy-family-eating.com, and made just a few tweaks.
