This week I decided to make a classic: grilled cheese sandwiches. This recipe is from the same book as last week, which is "Deceptively Delicious." The healthy ingredient that I dislike in this recipe is sweet potato. I don't like the flavor or taste of sweet potato, but I made this recipe in hopes of turning it into one of my favorites! Here are the ingredients I used:
- 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sweet potato puree
- 4 slices whole-wheat bread (Note: I used a different brand of whole-wheat bread this week because the bread last week had too strong of a taste)
- 1 tablespoon trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread

The ingredients that make this recipe healthy are the sweet potato and the whole-wheat bread. Sweet potatoes can help stabilize blood sugar levels and are good for skin and vision because of their high levels of beta carotene.

This recipe was another success in terms of how easy it was to make. It took about 15 minutes to make and wasn't difficult at all. However, just like last week, I didn't love how it tasted. While I didn't taste the sweet potato, I also didn't taste the cheese. The puree mixture was flavorless and goopy. The whole-wheat bread I used this week was much better, though. It didn't taste bad, but I just didn't love how it tasted. My mom liked it and actually ate quite a lot. I would rate it 6/10. Definitely not bad! Pictures of the final result are below.
See you next week!
