    I can write bump. But I have an inkling that bump means that you more savvy mfpers are able to ear mark your posts. For the unskilled could any one explain in really simple language how you do this? The salad dressing recipe looks a amazing. I would love to be able to be more efficient when searching for articles or posts. Thanks ahead!:smile:

    I was going to make a new thread but this seems easier. I've heard that some people use it instead of mayo...anyone else tried this? For one thing I use Miracle Whip instead so I dunno how it would be. I'm curious how it would work as a spread on a sandwich or maybe even in tuna or chicken salad mix instead of the mayo. Any thoughts?

    I know I can't eat the stuff plain though, just like I wouldn't eat a tub of sour cream, lol. I definitely want to start using greek though for less fat and tons of protein!

    Just click where it says "My Topics" and it will show you all of your posts. This works, but there's a better way.

    Try icyte.

    It's better than bookmarks because it saves a snapshot of the page so you have it for future reference, even if the page changes or goes away, you still have the snapshot. You can organize it into projects. For example, you could create one that's called MyFitnessPal Recipes. Then you can add tags and notes to find it easily.

    I recently used it to make potato salad instead of the mayo. You can make a tsatsiki sauce out of it for greek food...

    These are such interesting suggestions. I would've never thought of some of these combinations. I usually just mix mine with fruit, or put it on my baked potato like sour cream.

    I use it as sour cream (we used it to top our veggie tacos the other night) or cream cheese( as a for dip melba toast) or top it with fruit/honey. Love all these great ideas--I'll have to steal some!! :)

    I bought greek yogurt last night because of this site as well. I just added some mixed frozen berries to it and let it sit in the fridge.. this sounds gross, but the juices from the berries leaked out and made it taste even better.
    I'm definitely excited to try out some of these recipes though.

    I put a package of Fat Free Ranch powder in it and use it as ranch dip. It's pretty good.

    I use it as a sauce for fish and lamb. Just load it with mint or other hebs you may have like dill (excellent with salmon), also a great sauce for cous cous stuffed peppers or dressings for salad....Would not use the whole tub in one shot though.
