Replacing Regular Milk with Soy Milk

Rachel writes, "Will substituting soy milk for milk in homemade scalloped potatoes have any affect on the outcome of the dish?"

Answer: Soy milk, while beneficial in adding lean protein to our diets, has a very distinctive taste and will impact your recipe. If you absolutely love the taste of soy milk, feel free to experiment by substituting in your favorite recipes. I would start with a combination of half soy with half regular milk. However, if you are like me and constantly trying to disguise the taste of soy milk - I don't think I would add it to my favorite scalloped potato dish. Try a soy milk shake on the side instead!
