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 see you weighed in. i just have to ask.. was all the tummy tuck pain worth it when you arent being good to your weight?? i see you are weighing more than you have in a long time… that is my fear.. to lose the weight.. have a tummy tuck.. and regain .. even 15#. are you taking advantage of the fact that you have a flat stomach and mocking your body?? just my opinion.. i love your blog..
I have no idea what you are saying.
If anything I am being the best to “my weight” I have ever been. I am the healthiest I have ever been. Really, the best shape of my life.
I would do the Tummy Tuck again in a second. And I am in no way mocking my body. I don’t even understand that comment.
In my opinion your comment is coming way out from left field and it’s insulting. Especially considering I’m still almost 6 pounds UNDER my goal!
Roni-
Don’t listen to the pp you are doing great. I don’t understand the comment either. I would comment not on your weight but your “binges” I know that when I do this it is because I am emotional about something else. Then again a lot of the time it is cyclic and is getting close to TOM. I think your self awareness is the best. It has really caused me to do more self evaluation. Denial is my worst enemy.
P.S. Can’t wait for the pumpkin bread recipe.

Morning Roni!……I don’t understand that first comment either! You did real well to even attempt a reply. You are doing an awesome job at this weight battle and passing your many lessons on to so many other people like me! I check out your site daily….and I LOVE your recipes….I have been learning a whole new way of cooking! Keep up the great work Roni….you have no idea how much you have helped me!!
Have a great Tuesday!!!

Wow, that first comment is weird! I think you are doing great, Roni! You are so not “weighing more than you have in a long time” because you have lost 70 lbs!! GEEZ! :) I have a quick question about working out and having the tummy tuck…is everything back to the way it was or does it hurt to do crunches or big stretches? Just curious because I’m scheduling mine soon. Have a great one!
YOU LOOK GREAT! You are a complete inspiration to so many people. Please dont let people jeaous or small minds get you down! If you are up a few lbs or down a few lbs- you have made this journey- YOU MADE IT- and you are still going strong. Be happy!
Roni,
Thank you sooo much for all the effort you put into your site. You help so many of us. I look forward to your posts everyday. Anyone who says anything negative should keep their comments to themselves. Maybe they have never been taught the golden rule. Aww what a shame for them!!!! You rock!!!
I also have the same question as Alisha since I am scheduling a breast reduction and tummy tuck for February! Yikes! Any insight would be great! I love your site- it helps me so much, gives me wonderful ideas and a fresh outlook!
You’re fantastic! That first comment was so odd; maybe they should have proofread to see if they made sense- considering we all need it translated…
What an odd post to leave (I am refering to the 1st post)
Even if you were weighing more then you did in a long time, that can be your healthy weight and nothing more!! You excercise now and watch what you eat so it is not like you are gaining all your yucky weight back.
It is how you feel about yourself and nothing else. It is not umcommon for peoples weight to go up and down a little here and there but it is uncommon for someone to be so negativwe on a site that is here to help people.
I love your site. I have been on WW for 3 weeks now and I come to your site a lot for great receipes and inspiration.
Thank you for the great job that YOU have done because it helps me to try and do just as well. :)
The first comment really pisses me off! Maybe I feel a little defensive because I read your site daily and I feel like we’re friends! …i see you are weighing more than you did in a long time….hhmmm!! Does this crackhead person know that your highest weight was 210 lbls??? Man, stuff like this fires me up – like us women don’t already battle with weight/society..etc and the basis of this site is success and accomplishments!! Way to go Roni, I think you are great. When I want to give up I remind myself that you are staying strong and in this battle couting points day after day!
WOW you guys all put a HUGE smile on my face! Let me just say the comment stung a bit but I’m not letting it get to me. The older I get the more I realize I’m the only one that has to be happy with me. and I AM! I’ve come a long way.
You guys are the BEST! You keep ME going!!
AS for the plastic surgery questions. It was well over a year before I did any ab work. But other exercises were possible within a few months. I stuck with walking for a very long time. If you guys want to chat about shoot me an email. (address in FAQ’s) and remember to ask your doctors!
