And don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say non-stop. Even the husband noticed and asked what was wrong. I have been totally stress eating tonight. I have a lot going on at work, at home and I just feel off. On top of all that, I have to travel this weekend for a wedding. Actually, I’m IN the wedding along with the husband and the toddler! It’s going to be a fun weekend but stressful. As I get older and have more going on just being out of routine is stressful for me. Plus traveling with a 2 year old is an adventure in it’s self!
I’m going to do my best but I’ll be signing off until Sunday or Monday. Maybe I’ll come back and update my photos with one in the bridesmaid dress! Speaking of updates, I added October’s photos to the Food Photos section.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

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 am sure you will get through your plans for the weekend and still stay OP. You have done such a great job all this time and I am very impressed. I am in the same way as you lately. I have been stress eating and since the stress is not going away for at least most of this month, I better get a handle on it now before it destroys my achievements and accomplishments. Good luck and enjoy your the wedding.

Hey Roni- I think it must have been something in the air last night! We were packing (moving this weekend) and even though we stopped to have dinner, I ate again like an hour later…and I had a snack right after work (around 5:30!) I’m usually more disciplined but I just keep munching and munching! Good luck this weekend- I want pictures in the bridesmaid dress!!
Hi Roni – I found your blog and have been reading it daily – you are an inspiration and I love your enthusiasm and creative ideas. I want to share with you that in 2003 – I worked hard and lost about 40 lbs and got to “lifetime”….but then as time went on something happened…”life happened” – normal stress, etc. and my bad habits took over again. I would make a “Plan Of Attack” for not letting bad habits like stress eating or not exercising or overeating period take over…Make a plan – don’t let what happened to me happen to you. I am now back to losing – 26 lbs gone, and 33 to go. BE STRONG, BE SMART, TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!!! I think it’s all about balance…and finding other ways to deal with stress :) You know that. Have a wonderful weekend.

As a fellow stress eater and mother of a two year old, I can totally understand your entire post. I totally get what you mean about the wedding – yes, it’s fun but OMG, stressful as hell, especially with the kid. Do you ever read http://sundrymourning.com Linda is a great writer and she just did a really funny post about taking her son (a little over two) to her husband’s work event. Very funny and insightful.
You’ll be fine at the wedding and if you eat a little more than usually, you will just step it up when you get back to “real life.” I, too, am a complete “routine” person. Whenever I am out of it, things begin going haywire! Good luck and have a blast.
I’m sorry – the blog address I just suggested is actually

Its not easy to get rid of that habit, its nasty
Ugh! Do I know how you feel. I am doing the non-stop munching today. I keep telling myself to stop and I just keep eating. I am going for a walk so hopefully, I can get it out of my system. I am so over points for the day already but I will have a healthy dinner and tomorrow will be better.
I went through a weird time with eating and nutrition because I was addicted to alcohol. I followed steps of nutrition including protein in the morning and afternoon and healthy carbs at night that had a low glycemic index. A good article here: http://www.myaddiction.com/education/articles/nutrition.html
Any thoughts on this?
Anonymous – great article. Thanks
