Slightly less guilty pleasures

Share with us tips on making 100% bad-for-you food only like 85% bad for you!

Me, I've got a life long love affair with Kraft Deluxe Mac & Cheese (the one w the foil pouch of goop) and Velveeta Shells & Cheese, which makes me feel guiltier by the year. To combat this as of late, I've taken to adding half a bag of cooked Trader Joe's shelled edamame. It tastes even better and I can pretend its sort of healthy!

spinach leaves in my bacon & egg roll

I only use 2/3 of the resultant paste that I normally would

We always had peas in macaroni and cheese as kids, it still feels wrong without them.

i always make kale when i make mac and cheese now--my gf mixes them together but i eat them separately.

Peas taste like dirty feet :-(

What?! Peas are the greatest vegetable ever. I put them in all kinds of pasta stuff.

No way girl, you trippin!!

lol They're my fave.

Lately I've been using Greek yogurt in place of cream in place of cream in recipes that call for it. Works out pretty well usually.

I can handle peas, but sweetcorn tastes like old people's rancid fallen out teeth.

omg who hates corn?!

Corn is disgusting. My mother would deliberately give me a double helping when I was little, I still feel traumatized.

i make sure pasta dishes have at least as many vegetables as pieces of noodle

i add spinach to virtually everything

Wait so you guys don't even like corn on the cob?

My mother just dropped off 2 dozen ears of the best sweet corn -- fooey on corn haters.

Even the smell makes me gag a little

kale + mac and cheese is a good one, I do that a lot

I add tofu, spring onion and miso paste to my 2minute ramen noodles

Oh and brocoli as well sometimes.

you had me until broccoli ;_;

:)

At least its not cuke ;P

ha!

I love using Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream on tacos, chili, and baked potatoes. To me, the difference in taste is negligible. Unfortunately, knowing that it's not as bad for me as sour cream, I inevitably wind up using way more!
