Seriously, the scale dropped almost 5 pounds overnight! You would think it wasn’t possible but it is. That’s why I get so frustrated when people are upset after a weekly weigh-in and they see a gain or even a small loss. I know it can be disappointing but if you only weigh yourself once a week and happen to have a salty meal the night before, the scale can be WAY off.
I’m cutting it short tonight (again). I spent the last few hours rebuilding the good old food photos section. I’ve been getting a few requests and I wanted it back up.
I did forget to tell you I never officially weighed in yesterday. I thought the family hike was more important. Today I could have gotten off my butt and gone but I was just too lazy. I think I may hold off until Wed so I can see my favorite leader.
I’ll close with my oath to the Barbie Brigade. Thanks to swizzlepop for my prefect Barbie representation. Seriously, this is what I look like everyday. That’s right I’m the geek in my kitchen on the laptop typing up what I just made for dinner. If you have NO IDEA what I’m talking about check out the Original Barbie. Our “little community” is getting SO BIG (and super supportive).

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

Roni,
I was looking for a link to contact you but couldn’t find it. I just wanted to pass along this link to the latest hungry girl recipe for fried cheese sticks. http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1156 .I remember how much you like cheese. They are actually baked. I made them last night and they were yummy. You probably have what you need on hand to whip them up. If you try them out and like them(which I think you will)would you post a picture? I’d love to see how they turn out. Mine were a little more melted than the HG pic but still yummy!
Take Care!
Michelle
Hey Roni,
Just wanted to let you know that your picture page (with the food) looks beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time to put them back up – I know losing all that information has been so hard – you are doing a fabulous job (more than ever)!
Thank you,
Justine
Oh my goodness, looking at your photo page just made me extremely hungry and inspired to cook!
Actually, I was planning on making the Creamy Apple Pork this week. I got a Crockpot for my bridal shower and bought a pork roast last week. But I see it hasn’t been recovered yet :(
Ah well. Do know all your hard work really is inspiring. I enjoy coming to your page everyday and I have an RSS feed on my iGoogle so I can ‘check up’ often.
Thanks,
Holly
holly – I got it!

Roni, I knew as soon as I saw the Barbie’s Swizzlepop came up with for you, they were perfect! Glad you liked them :) And congrats on the loss- 5 lbs WOW!
Hi Roni-
I wanted to share a tool I have been using for the past month called the “google 15″. It shows you your moving average- so you dont think you really did gain 4 pounds in one day.
My only complaint is that the graph only tracks for 2 weeks. This helps so much, especially when we struggle for small losses or are trying to maintain.
I hope this helps you as much as your site has helped me :)
Roni,
You’re my hero!!
I’ll let you know how it turns out!
-Holly
Roni,
The creamy apple pork came out great! My fiance and I had it over some Trader Joe’s whole wheat pasta, and it was delicious!
Thanks again for your quick response, I really can’t tell you how much of an inspiration you have been, as my fiance and I enter our 5th month on WW (I’ve lost 25, he’s lost 38!).
Thanks!
-Holly
I’m so glad you liked it!
CONGRATS ON THE LOSS!!
Why is it that men ALWAYS lose more?!? ;~)
