{The above title should be said like Andy Bernard}
My waffle stack did an incredible job of holding me over this morning!
It was well after noon before I started to feel like I needed to eat something.
Lunch was surprisingly delicious!
I was craving tuna and luckily happened to have some on hand.
But I realized at the last minute that I didn’t have mayo.
I poked around in the fridge to see what else I could use as a substitute and realized I had some plain greek yogurt!
I might have been making it up in my mind because I had my heart so set on having tuna, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of subbing greek yogurt for mayo in dishes so I went with it.
The result? It worked!
I honestly didn’t miss the mayo at all. I added a little spicy brown mustard for flavor and slathered the other piece of bread with 1/4 avocado and some lettuce.
I loaded it all onto 2 slices of toasted Trader Joe’s 100% Whole Wheat Sourdough and I have to say, as good as the inside was, the bread MADE the sandwich.
HIGHLY recommend it!
Sides were all orange today:
The orange in particular was fabulous.
After lunch I sat down to check my email and found my Brightcove pictures were in from the Tar Heel 10-Miler!
I’ve never actually ordered these photos…a screenshot of the proof usually satisfies for me 🙂
Aaaand I saved the best for last.
Remember these brownies from last night?
Here’s the oh-so-simple recipe:
Cookies n’ Cream Brownies
Ingredients:
- Box of favorite brownie mix
- Package of oreos {I chose original because it’s what I had on hand but you could choose your favorite flavor!}
Directions:
- Prepare boxed brownie mix according to box instructions
- Grease an oven-safe pan
- Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan
- Layer with oreos {you may have to break some in half depending on the side of your pan}
- Pour remaining half of brownie batter on top of the oreos being sure to spread evenly and completely cover the oreos
- Crush 10-12 oreo cookies and pour crumbs on top of the batter in the pan being careful to spread evenly so as to cover the entire pan
- Bake brownies according box instructions.
- Enjoy!
Now I’m off to move around a little!

omg those brownies look so insanely good!
i never thought about subbing yogurt and putting it in a sandwich–awesome idea!
They seriously were good! And SO SO easy!
And I know – I never thought of it until today (cause I was desperate) but it worked out perfectly!
That is SUCH a good idea! Much healthier than mayo! And although I don’t think I can even really talk about them in the same comment as ‘healthy swaps’ and tuna… those brownies look to DIE for!!! In fact I think you earned a big fat piece just by swapping mayo for greek yoghurt! 😉
Haha – I know, this whole post was kind of an oxymoron I guess! 🙂
I think tuna is my favorite sandwich; I can’t seem to get enough of it! I have an idea for a tuna salad this upcoming week, I think you might like it.
Awesome! I can’t wait to see it 🙂
PS – I’m so glad you hear you say you think tuna is your favorite sandwich. I LOVE it but it’s such a polarizing choice! People either love it or hate it!
Haha, I love when Andy calls Jim Big Tuna. Cracks me up everytime! Love that action shot of you!
Haha me too! And thank you! I guess as far as race photos go I can’t be too disappointed in these! Some of them turn out pretty darn goofy!
Tuna! Love Andy!
Those brownies look fantastic!! I definitely need to make them. 🙂
Gotta love Andy Bernard! 🙂
And definitely do – they were SO easy!
The pictures in this post are particularly good. Like…I am drooling over a picture of carrot sticks. lol
Hahaha – thanks!!
those brownies just aren’t fair…i can’t look at those pictures without my mouth watering. 😉
I COMPLETELY agree with you – it’s worse being able to actually SMELL them all day too!! 😉
I definitely need to make these brownies! My fiance is an Oreo cookie fanatic! He would be in heaven 🙂
Oh my gosh you definitely need to then! He will flip! These are so chocolatey and delicious!
