Avoid unhealthy foods and choose one of these easy low-calorie recipes

While balancing going to class, holding a job and squeezing in time to have some fun, eating healthy can seem tedious and impossible. But before you stop at that fast food drive-through and peek at the dollar menu, remember when you are hungry there are always healthy alternatives.
Swapping out certain items in a favorite meal or snack can save you meaningless calories. To avoid extra calories during lunch, keep in mind a 250-calorie hoagie roll can easily be replaced by pita bread with only 170 calories. And when you are craving a snack after class, tortilla chips with salsa instead of cheese dip are half the calories.
There are plenty of ways to savor the flavor of your favorite foods while also saving some calories. Here is a lightened recipe for chunky monkey cookies that is easy to make while also being healthy and delicious.

FILM
"THE WAY,WAY BACK" / FOX SEARCHLIGHT
Indie flick arrives in Lawrence
One of the freshest independent films to hit the circuit this
It tells the story of Duncan's (lames) summer vacation with his mother, her overbearing boyfriend and his daughter. Being an introverted teenager, Duncan has a hard time fitting in, but finds a friend in Owen, played by the always pleasant Sam Rockwell, who manages the "Water Wizz" water park. Through this relationship, plus
summer just made its way to Liberty Hall in Lawrence. This film is none other than "The Way, Way Back." It features the talents of Toni Collette, Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell and introduces 14-year-old Liam James.
the budding one with the girl next door played by Anna-Sophia Robb, Duncan slowly opens up and begins to finally find his place in the world-all during a summer he will never forget.
I really enjoyed this movie, as I do with most films that Fox Searchlight produces. It was very interesting to see Carell
in such a different role, being a douchebag-possible stepfather instead of the normal funny man that he is. The two roles that stand out the most for me, though, are that of Duncan and Owen, played by James and Rockwell, respectively. Liam James plays the awkward innocence of early adolescence perfectly, and Sam Rockwell
If you enjoy coming-of-age stories about summer vacations, or just love Sam Rockwell and Steve Carell, I suggest making a trip down to Liberty Hall and catching this flick as soon as possible.
perfectly, and Sam Re is too likeable to look away.

1/2 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
Juglane
1 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar

To make the filling: combine yogurt, sugar, and juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover and place in the freezer for 25 - 30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve-like consistency (very thick but soft enough to stir). Place two graham cracker squares on a plate with the cinnamon-covered sides down. Give filling a stir and evenly distribute between the two graham cracker squares, about 1/4 cup each. Gently place another graham cracker square over each filling-topped square, cinnamon-covered sides up.
