I most definitely made these double chocolate marshmallow shakes last night and they were so yummy! Now, it was kind of a lot of work. I'm going to make them again except just make the chocolate shake part and then put a dollop of the fluff on top. So good!

If you're a big Hungry Girl fan like me, you know she likes to use a lot of swap-outs. One of her favorites is substituting Fiber One cereal for regular breading. Here are some of her tips on using Fiber One.

• Grind up a big batch of Fiber One all at once. Stash it in an airtight container, and you'll get to skip the "grind to a breadcrumb-like consistency" step the next time you faux-fry. FYI, a quarter cup of the crumbs is equal to a half cup of the cereal.
• Raid your spice rack. Get crazy and add your favorite seasonings (cayenne pepper, taco seasoning mix, dried basil, etc.) to your crumbs. HIgh fiber and high flavor!
• Swap out the egg sustitute. The egg is only there to help the crumbs stick to your food. So if there's a guilt-free sauce or dressing you love, coat your food in that before you roll it in Fiber One crumbs for an extra flavor boost.
• Have extra ingredients on hand. Our recipes call for pretty much the exact amount of Fiber One and egg substitute needed to cat your food completely, which means you may feel like you're running out at the end. To avoid any stress, portion out a little more than what's called for.
• Insist on the one-and-only Fiber One bran cereal (original). Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to faux-fry with some other high-fiber cereal, including the other varieties of F1. Caramel Delight onion rings = not recommended.
• Mix 'n match. Can't decide between Faux-Fried Zucchini and Fiber-ific Fried Cheese Sticks? No problem! Grab whatever you have in the fridge (within reason), roll it all in crumbly goodness, and serve it up with a couple yummy dipping sauces. It'll be like having one of those restaurant sampler platters, without all the grease.
• Eyes bigger than your stomach? There's no shame in leftovers, but your faux-fried goodies DO typically taste better right out of the oven. If you need to reheat 'em the next day, skip the microwave and pop them in the oven at a high temperature to crisp up. Just make sure they don't burn.
• Don't stop at these recipes! Use them as jumping-off points and get creative. What else can you roll in fiber-ific breadcrumbs? Mushrooms? Pineapple? Broccoli? Go for it!

• An average 8 ounce pina colada packs in about 350 calories and over 10 grams fat. Quadruple that if you down one of the ginormous restaurant versions.
• The average slice of banana bread contains a ridiculous 326 calories and 12 grams fat, and it's not uncommon for a slice to have TWICE as much fat as that (thanks to all those nuts!). That's BANANAS!
• A typical 16 ounce iced vanilla latte contains around 330 calories and 7 grams fat, and it doesn't even come with fun frozen Cool Whip! BO-RING!
• Fiber in ice cream? Yup. Check out Breyers Double Churn FREE Fat Free Ice Cream. Each cool 'n creamy half-cup scoop serves up 3 to 4 grams fiber.
• A slice of pumpkin cheesecake from a restaurant packs in around 400 calories and 26 grams fat. Cheesecake can be SCARY!

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield: about 12 cakes, 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 ounces, 1/4 cup, chopped walnuts
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 really ripe bananas, mashed up
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 stick butter, 1/4 cup, melted, plus additional for buttering skillet
• Maple syrup or honey, for drizzling

Directions

Here's a great tip: if you cannot find really ripe bananas, just nuke them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and they will become super soft for mashing.

Mix dry ingredients, the first 7, in a bowl. In a another bowl, mix the wet ingredients, the next 4. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then fold in the mashed up bananas and the raisins. Stir in the melted butter.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush with additional melted butter. Cook pancakes, each about 1/3 cup, until bubbles form on the top, then turn. Cakes will cook in about 2 minutes on each side. Keep pancakes tented with foil as they come off the griddle to keep them hot. Serve with drizzled honey or maple syrup over the top.

On this day in history, September 22nd, the ice cream cone was invented, thus making this... National Ice Cream Cone Day!

• Cold pizza is a surprisingly popular breakfast food, and not just among college students. One ABC News poll cited that 39 percent of Americans have, at some point, eaten cold pizza for breakfast.
• On average, Americans eat about half a pound of cheese a week. Whoa!
• Meringues are sometimes called "forgotten cookies," simply because you bake them for an hour and then let them sit in the cooling oven for at least another hour - or until you remember that you have fresh crispy cookies waiting for you!
• The first mention of s'mores showed up in a Girl Scouts handbook in 1927. The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who made them for a legion of hungry Girl Scouts by the campfire. Loretta TOTALLY earned her patch for cooking!

I thought this was a great question (and response) in today's Hungry Girl newsletter.

Hungry Girl, I've heard you talk about your so-called "trigger foods." What does this term mean? Can you explain the concept? Foodie Gurl
	Dear Foodie Gurl, Understanding the whole "trigger foods" thing is super-important but also super-easy. Trigger foods are the ones that cause you to eat more -- foods that make you tailspin into a bit of an eating frenzy. For some, chocolate is a trigger food -- one bite and they can't stop eating chocolate all day. Not for me. I can eat a piece of chocolate, be fine, and not crave any more. Other people say ice cream is a huge trigger food -- they can easily down an entire pint in one sitting. I'm okay with ice cream. But chips and pretzels are another story altogether! Give me a handful of salty snacks and it's all over. I feel the need to inhale an entire bag of 'em without stopping to take a breath -- VERY dangerous! I always tell people to avoid their trigger foods. If you stick with foods that satisfy you but don't make you crave more and more, chances are you'll be safe from overeating. It's really that simple. Do you know what your trigger foods are? CLICK HERE NOW to see a brand-new "Hungryvision" video all about trigger foods, featuring the HG staff and me. Watch it, learn more about trigger foods, and find out how you could win cool HG stuff. REALLY, DO IT! And if you're still not sure what your trigger foods are, try writing down everything you eat for a week and see if the answer is a little clearer after that.
