I don't consider myself a health nut. And I certainly don't always watch what I eat like I know I should. But in an attempt to implement healthy cooking into our lifestyles, I tend to buy reduced or low-fat ingredients. Believe it or not I cannot tell the difference, but my better half likes to thinks he can. Sometimes just to please his taste buds I buy the regular version of what I am looking for. Make no mistake, I am sure the slight increase around my waistline is no coincidence.
Do you ever try to "trick" him into believing you are cooking with the real thing?
Editor's Note: Some reduced or low-fat items can have an adverse effect on your recipe. The most notable one I can think of is Cream of Chicken soup. If you try to substitute with the 98% fat free version, your dish will be runny. I learned the hard way!
