I’ll say it again, a small shift in my schedule and I’m all off. Now that the semester is over, there just seems to be something going on with me. I’m not happy between 9-11PM unless there is food in arms reach. I think I need to mix things up a bit. Maybe I’ll start posting in the morning or hitting the gym after the toddler goes to bed. Something’s got to snap me out of it. I can feel bad habits starting to form. :~(

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 [...]

Snap out of it! Start calculating your points so that you have 2 points left over for 9 or 10 pm. That way you can have a yogurt and some fiberone or popcorn or another snack. If you know that’s a tough spot, plan for it!
You know you can do it!!
Or you could go to bed early!
I LOVE routine too…I always do best when everything is “normal”. Maybe the previous poster was right that a hot bath and early to bed might be just what you need! Can you say “over achiever”???
As Carolyn said, I make sure I eat enough at dinner that I only have a couple points left after dinner, that way I’m not eating up a storm.
I’m totally one for routine too, when I get out of sync, I always have a harder time.
Snap out of it!! I say this as I preach to myself and start day 1 AGAIN since I too have sunk back into bad habits and can’t seem to whip them. But, now that I have a black tie event ONE week away and that dress HAS to fit and I just feel disgusting I hope this is finally the time. First of all, take a break from having the Soy Crisps at home. Also, I agree with the 1-2 points for 9-11. Have something like Jolly Time popcorn, protein shake, or yogurt and fiber one instead. Also try and cut back on mindless empty snackin and focus on fueling your system.
I think you should be commended. Even when you go “off the wagon” you’re still choosing pretty good foods! When I go off the wagon, it’s too bury my head in a bag of cheetos. At least you choose soy crisps. Hey, it’s something right? :) Good luck to you. The first step is recognizing their is a problem, right.
Roni, this has nothing to do with your current post but I had to share…I absolutely love your “baked apple pie” oatmeal. I have found a way to decrease its point value by 2!! Walmart sells a sugar free Maple and Brown Sugar that is only 100 cal, 2g fat, and 3 fiber….pair that with a 50 cal, 0 fat and 2 fiber applesauce cup and you get a 2 point oatmeal! (separately their points would add up to 3 but if you add the calories together…I figure you’re mixing them anyways…you get 2 points!)
There is a frightening amount of typos in my comment above ( I was typing and on the phone- a bad combo) and I can’t figure out how to edit it. So I’m using this comment to say that frankly, I’m ashamed. :)
Roni you know what to do and you can and you will. Make a rule that you will only munch on 94% FF popcorn after 8 p.m. and nothing else unless it is a point free veggie. If you are going to snack make it a good one. Good luck we are all pulling for you.
That’s a killer-time for me, too! The ff popcorn is a good tip. I think a good one for me is to go upstairs to the study – there’s a couch for reading, a television, bathrooms to clean, clothes to put away – everything but food!
roni, Looking at what you eat, you are not eating enough in the morning and for lunch to keep you satisfied. PLAN,PLAN,PLAN!!!!!
No wonder you are hungry by the time dinner rolls around. Try eating 3-4 more points for lunch, like with protien or something. I bet you’ll do better. I agree with one of the comments that you are at least making good choices with your “splurges.” It’ll be okay. You are still w/in your weight range. GOOD LUCK,Roni! You are an inspiration.
I recently made a rule for myself that I will not eat after 8 pm and I go to bed at 10 pm. I can, however, drink a cup of decaf or hot chocolate during that time and that seems to help. I have realized that when I feel hungry during that time I’m mostly just tired and looking for a blood sugar spike.
Maybe you are just pregnant. Just kidding :) I always have those scary thoughts.
RONI,
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO AFTER THE TODDLER GOES TO BED AND BURN SOME CALORIES AND EARN ACTIVITY POINTS, WHY DON’T YOU LOOK TO YOUR HUSBAND FOR A LITTLE LOVIN’. THAT’S WHAT WE DO 2-3 NIGHTS A WEEK AND IT HAS WORKED WONDERS. I HAVE LOST 5 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS. GIVE IT A TRY AND I BET YOUR HUSBAND WILL LOVE IT TOO.
you are still WAAAYYY ahead of me…at least you have time to blog your food for the day. AND you’re still on point.
I’m half asleep on the couch by that time of night so I don’t have the nighttime eating thing. My deal is late afternoon when the kids are all busy and crazy.
You’ll get through it. Make sure to drink a big glass of water before that snack too. Less room in your belly to fill!
Roni… at my ww meeting this morning, our leader suggested resetting your points at 5 pm so you can adjust your eating in the morning and afternoon to your evening eating. I find that if I eat enough during the day, I don’t have the munchies at night.
Just a thought, but perhaps with hitting the gym hard lately you’ve actually gained in a good way, muscle mass is known to add some pounds/weight and then levels in terms of gain after going for a few months or so. :) So no beating yourself up! :)
