grating my garlic with a zester, that is the only way I will ever do it again: when the potatoes are about to sprout or have sprouted, instead of tossing them, par boil the, put them in the fridge and they ready to use for fried or hashbrowns, re-heat and mash, or you can even freeze them, but they will build up water if you do.

The dip is still 75% avo. Vs the avocado dip would be way more yogurt.

I went thru my cultured dairy in guacdip phase in the mid 90's. It does taste good. I was just joshin ya. Goat yogurt in my guac was a fav for the 95 Superbowl. Go Niners.

In other words, "avocado dip". Guac is lightly mashed, still some chunks, not creamy and smooth.

Feel free to make what you want with avocado and yogurt. Just don't call it guacamole.

Buy bananas in big bunches. Peel and freeze on baking sheets. When frozen, store in a bag in the freezer.

You can take them out one at a time to use in smoothies.

Not waiting for a huge pot of water to boil for pasta. Simply add it to enough cold water to cover, bring to boil and cook till done to your desired texture. I was astounded to find that it works.
Here's the science.

Pasta: bring the water in your pot to a boil, add pasta, bring back to a boil, stir and cover with a lid, turn the heat off, let it sit for 15 minutes, stir and drain. Perfect al dente pasta. (except for big fat pasta or K.dinner.

Creamy, delicious mayo instead of Miracle whip which I was brought up on and didn't know the difference. Yuck to Miracle whip!

Grilled vegetables on the bbq (in a bbq grilling pan with holes in the bottom), tossed with a bit of olive oil, garlic powder and a bit of bbq sauce. (I even add a can of pineapple chunks into the veg's...Yummy) The grilling pan is FAR easier than using skewers.
