If a light food product you buy in the supermarket means a product with less calories, then you can turn every food into light food by adding water to it. Most calorie measurements in food are based on samples of 100 grams, so if you add water the 100 grams become 200 but the calories stay the same or are less as percentage of the overall intake

Products I can think of this can apply are alcohol, beer, wine, yogurt, soups, milk shakes, ice cream, coke etc

The taste might be diluted but will still be the same. If you turn normal food products into light ones this way, you will also be saving money as light products are usually more expensive compared to the original ones!

Pasta tastes better with oregano

Hi guys and pasta lovers. Do you want to impress your girlfriend with an easy and tasty pasta meal?

Before you add any sauce you have in mind, throw in some oregano, mix the pasta, add the sauce, mix again and serve!

Tastes great with all kinds of sauces, tomato and cream based.

If you get a nice compliment from your girl , I expect a small support from you...

If your evening goes very well after dinner, I look forward to a much more generous contribution!!!
