Some of these "hearth healthy" butters and sweeteners don't cook the same as the real thing. The thrill of the hunt (and skill) comes in finding the right substitutes that create tasty substitutes. I have a prune brownie recipe that is to die for -- better than the real thing. Here's the recipe that I posted back in 2007 http://www.circleoffood.com/blog/2007/05/27/to-die-for-brownies-with-prunes/ Yes, you can alter some recipes to the point that you can’t recognize them and they are not worth eating.

I would just be happy with a pan of stuffing and cranberry sauce and omit the rest. Those are my fav foods for Thanksgiving.
