Have you seen it? If not, I highly recommend renting it. It’s a feel good movie with some great laughs. The story follows a dysfunctional family as they take there daughter to compete in the Little Miss Sunshine contest. I’m watching it right now with tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard.
While watching the movie I’m enjoying my newest guilt-free pleasure, ‘Who Needs Ice Cream’ Banana Split! This is after a fabulous Y workout completing my second weight training circuit this week. Why didn’t anyone tell me how good you feel when you work out? If I knew this, I would have been exercising all along! Seriously, for those on the fence about working out, try it for a few days in a row! I feel fantastic. I’ve gone to workout every day this week. Now we’ll see if I can keep this up. I’m not going to lie, I’ve fallen off the workout routine wagon before. I never joined a gym though so I’m hoping that’s the difference for me this time. I’m also thinking of creating a workout progress page where I track my routines. Why not? It worked for my weight, right? I truly believe staying true to the journal (whether online or not) makes a huge difference in your success.

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 [...]

I ::heart:: Little Miss Sunshine!! I was lucky enough to see a preview with the directors and I have never been to a movie where the whole audience was crying and laughing and giggling and we all clapped FOUR times during the movie. The directors are really cool (husband and wife team) and I recommend it to everyone too. I even have a bright yellow tee shirt that says “everyone pretend to be normal” LOL! AJ
I’m so glad you are loving the gym! I’ve noticed a huge positive shift in my moods since starting training…..I feel all sad now on days when I don’t get to exercise. ;)
Love love LOVE Little Miss Sunshine, too. I think I’ve forced everyone I know to watch it with me. So much fun!
Sound like you’re doing great… looks like the scale was kind today too!!!
Loved Little Miss Sunshine!!!
Too funny. Last night at about 9 o’clock I was watching Little Miss Sunshine and sharing a version of your “Who needs Ice Cream Banana Split” with the BF!! BTW, we both LOVED it. I had a can of FF Reddi Whip I topped it with as well, mmm!
You are doing a fantastic job with the gym, isn’t it such a great feeling!
the results of the workout is really amazing.
I haven’t seen it yet but have heard great things about it. I may need to add it to my netflix que.
I know what you mean about working out. Unfortunately for me I need A LOT of motivation to get started and then to stick to it for a few days.
I’d love to see a progress page, maybe that would help not only you, but to inspire those of us who are tettering abotu starting.
I am with Swizzle – I just have the hardest time getting motivated….I can’t ever find anything I like either……the elliptical machine almost kills me – a lot of it is the fact that I want to be fit when I first start…..it makes me angry at myself when I am whipped after 15 minutes! You gotta do the progress page – I need the momentum!
Congrats on the workout progess. I can’t wait to try the new dessert.
I wasn’t a big fan of Little Miss Sunshine. I found it kind of depressing. Different strokes for different folks.
I love the movie too…It is an instant classic! I love the talent and she is sooo sweet…Speaking of sweet the ‘Who Needs Ice Cream’ Banana Split! is wonderful. The b-friend and I split one…you were right more than enough for two. He and I both loved it. He does not like foods that are too sweet, but this was just right. Yummy.
I have it set to record on the DVR tonight! Can’t wait to watch it :)
Umm, I think I told you lots of times.
: )
