Rave Review
In the 3 years that I have tried to lighten up my cooking, Mike has been the guinea pig for some unusual stuff. He has not complained, but often asked, "What is this?" or "What did you do differently to this recipe?" I cannot exchange vegetable crumbles or ground turkey for ground beef in a casserole or chili, he cringes at the taste of fat-free mayonnaise, and he cannot stand fat-free cheese ("Why didn't it melt?"). But I keep trying. I hit the jackpot with Country Fried Steak with Mushroom Gravy (www.cookinglight.com) the other night! It actually tasts like the comfort food all Southerners grew up on, and it's just 10 points, which includes the mashed potatoes. The only adjustment I made was to make the potatoes from real potatoes and to add a few extra drops of oil to the pan because the steaks were sticking.
