WOW this is stunning. I love pretty much everything- especially the coffee table. This is the most livable 300 square feet I've seen on AT. Leslie's Mid Century Optimism House Tour |

I agree with whoever said that you could have just painted the old cabinets. Stylistically, the new ones are not much different- they're just white. That's just me being extremely cheap, though. Great work! Hope to see the rest of the condo as well. The World's Ugliest Condo: The Big Reveal Renovation Before & After |

I thought the same thing about the avocado...maybe there's some citrus in there that helps? But still- I'm skeptical. Sunday Cooking: 10 Meals That Will Last The Entire Week Kitchn Recipe Roundup |

I've been growing a dwarf meyer lemon tree for almost two years now and have only gotten one stinking lemon. It was the size of a kumquat and never fully ripened. Does it take a few years, or did I get a dud, or am I just terrible in general? Any tips? I keep it outside on my porch late spring to mid-fall (to avoid frost) and then give it to my mom for the winters because she has nice sunny windows. Growing a Dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree |

You don't even know!!! I should mention though- I add more milk than the recipe states. If the batter feels too thick, you can add more milk and it won't affect how awesome they are. The recipe says 3/4 c., but I usually end up adding an additional 1/2 c. approximately. Ingredient Spotlight: Malted Milk Powder |

Normally I don't feel compelled to share links, but I've been using a pancake recipe with malted milk powder and they are so unbelievably delicious that I have to. I didn't even like pancakes until I tried these, and they always turn out perfect, every time. This is not my recipe, I found it on TastyKitchen. Ingredient Spotlight: Malted Milk Powder |

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. Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato: How Do You Make Your BLTs? |

I second the healthy casseroles suggestion. I like the idea, but the the thought of canned soup just makes me cringe. It's Dinner Week at The Kitchn! 3 Square Meals (and Dessert!) |

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). What Is Your Favorite Yogurt? |

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. Retro Typewriters In the Home Round Up |

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. In a Hurry: 3 Defrosting Tips for Super Fast Results |

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. What Can I Do With Yogurt That Is Too Sweet? Good Questions |
