I do avocado instead of mayo, alfalfa sprouts instead of lettuce, and a warm pita (whole, not pocket) instead of bread. Delish. Gotta make sure your bacon is uber salty though. awwww yeah.

I second the healthy casseroles suggestion. I like the idea, but the the thought of canned soup just makes me cringe.

I get Greek Gods my plain and snack yogurt. It's super thick and has a great texture. If you strain it through a coffee filter overnight, it's spreadable like cream cheese by morning (and about 10% of the calories). The honey variety is my go-to dessert. I'd gladly choose it over ice cream (but maybe not frozen custard...I am a midwest girl, afterall).

I love old typewriters, and I have a great one- but I haven't put it out because I guess I don't really see the point. I need all the deskspace I have (and then some), and it's just not functional. Bx, I think I agree with you.

The light fixture above my kitchen sink gets really hot- it has those weird cone shaped halogen light bulbs. Not ideal, but if I need to thaw something it's awesome. I just put whatever it is in my cast iron sink, turn on the light and walk away for a while.

get a container of plain yogurt, mix the two together, and then put back in the containers. Now you have two yogurts that aren't too sweet.

Well, having lived in the midwest my whole life- heck freaking yes I'd open the door. I've never experienced a reason not to, and I've certainly asked a neighbor for sugar before.

But that's just me.

@coleyb:
For anything that is pyrex worthy, this is what I do. When I'm making the food initially, I line the pyrex with foil, then dump in the food. After the food has frozen for a good amount of time, you can lift the foil out, wrap it tightly, and put the pyrex back in the cabinet. It helps with freezer burn and also frees up your bakeware. When you go to bake the food again, just plop it back in the dish.

I usually have some greek yogurt with fruit and granola for lunch. I put frozen fruit in my yogurt right before I leave for school and by the time I get to eat it, it's perfect.

my go-to crunchy topping is equal parts of crushed french fried onions, panko breadcrumbs, and cheap powdery parmesan with a sprinkle of garlic salt. Not super gourmet, I know, but don't be hatin'...it's good :)


Crispy & Crunchy: 5 Best Toppings for Casseroles

whenever I make homemade pizza, my dough recipe always makes enough for like 5 pizzas. Rather than scale down the dough, sometimes I'll just buy more toppings and assemble 4 or five pizzas at once- one to eat for dinner, and the rest to freeze (unbaked) on cardboard. They bake up quickly frozen and taste really fresh. Try portabello mushroom, truffle oil, and fontina!
