Still fighting the cold but getting better. I actually got a lot accomplished today. I love being on vacation so I can work on my own projects, isn’t that sad. LOL
You may notice a bit of tidying up around here. I’ve edited the side bars a bit, reorganizing and adding a feed from the community and links to the boards. I really want to start spreading the support to all our awesome blogs!
I’m also looking into moving the site soon. Traffic is increasing and I’m noticing the site responding slower and slower. Please let me know if you guys experience any problems on any of the sites. I’d really appreciate it.
As for my day today, I did well. I finished off my soup and made an AWESOME Tortilla Pizza (video post). Then we decided to go out to dinner and get some grocery shopping done. I LOVE family shopping. The toddler now grabs items off the shelf and says “It’s my fu-avorite” and throws it in the cart. Plus I love the fact that he wants everything in the produce aisle. Today I had to rationalize with him that we need to pay for the apples before he can have one. It’s my own fault, I tend to let him pick at the non-weigh items, like grape tomatoes. Yes, we are THOSE people that eat our way through the grocery store!
The scale only down a tiny bit but I’m FEELING GOOD! 2 days back in groove and I am reminded once again how much better I feel when I’m eating healthier and more in moderation.

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 think the site looks great. It’s so funny and AWESOME how our bodies feel when we eat healthy.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better! I loved the pizza video and the Lentil soup recipe. You totally inspired me to experiment with what we had in teh house and I too made something with lentils. Mine is more of a stew though because for some reason I can’t make soup, everytime I try it becomes stew. Oh well, it was yummo and I totally thought of you so THANK YOU for sharing!
Grocery store trips are great as long as we can go when the shopping crowd isn’t around! We have a store that has mini carts and both of mine grab one. They’re great. They love to help put foods in their own carts.
Way to go and get back in the grove!
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better. I just posted about this on the WW message boards: I lost some weight on Core a few years ago, and gained it all back, and now I’m a week and half back on the diet and I feel AWESOME. I can’t believe I ever went off it!
Do you have any Core chicken soup recipes?
The site is GREAT, but it does take awhile to load the journal part!
I love family shopping too!!! My hubby thinks I’m nuts so we don’t get to do it very often. I have to do the same thing with my son about the apples….and the grapes…and bananas. :) It’s a good problem to have though!!
Love the site and the changes. I plan to make your frittata on New Year’s Day along with your lentil soup. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Your site is a great inspiration!
Roni, one thing that I have noticed that doesn’t work properly is the hyperlinking. Not sure if this is something that you control. It gives you the option to pick if you want the site you are linking to to be opened in the same window or in a different window. Sometimes I pick “different window” but it never works. There are times I want to link people out to other links and still keep my blog open so they can continue reading.
Thanks guys!
hmmmm core chicken soup! GOOD IDEA!
Bonita – do you mean in the community? Can you post this on the boards so we can discuss. In the meantime I’ll take a peak at it.
