Individual Pizzas
Thrifty, tasty, and low sodium individual pizzas can be made quickly and easily. the contents are as varied as any pizza restaurant, and just about as tasty. I just use what I have at hand; left over roasted chicken or beef, for instance.

Make Yogurt at Home
It is not hard to make your own yogurt. The most critical tool you need that you may not have would be either an instant read or a candy thermometer. The instant read is more versatile and available on the internet for about $10.
